A delightful six bedroom house with a walled garden and a garage in the popular village of Holt.
Description
16 and 17 Leigh Road is a delightful period home, wonderfully located in the centre of the popular village of Holt. Formerly two cottages now combined as one, the property offers wonderful lateral accommodation (totalling approx 2,960 sqft) across just two floors with a beautiful, secluded rear garden as well as a garage and off-street parking.
The ground floor provides a wealth of living accommodation including a sitting room, snug and study, which flow well across the front of the property, interlinking the former two houses. To the rear is a charming and generously sized dining room, with feature fireplace and beamed ceiling. The kitchen runs alongside the dining room, accessed from the entrance hall, with a breakfast bar opening between the two rooms. From here, access is provided to the utility room, which in turn leads out to the garden beyond. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a pantry, separate WC and a conservatory leading from the study which enjoys lovely views of the garden.
Upstairs the two original cottages have not been interlinked and are therefore arranged as two separate sections of bedrooms, serviced by the two original cottage staircases. The arrangement works particularly well, as one side provides two bedrooms and a bathroom, which works perfectly for guest accommodation. The other side of the house provides four generous bedrooms and a large family bathroom.
The property has been home to the current owners for over 40 years and has been a much-loved family home. Now in need of modernisation, the property is absolutely charming, with many of its original features still intact and the property brims with character.
Garden
The rear garden is a delight; walled on all sides and providing a peaceful and secluded setting. Largely laid to lawn, with mature trees on its edges, the garden is well cared for and adds great appeal to the property. A large patio, perfect for outdoor dining, is situated outside the conservatory, with a few steps up to the lawned garden. There are various areas to sit and enjoy the view throughout the garden, and a well stocked vegetable patch is situated at the rear. The garage is positioned around the corner along with a car parking space, which are both accessed from a private drive leading from Leigh Road.
Location
Leigh Road is conveniently located in a central position within the heart of Holt, a popular and conveniently located village approximately 2.5 miles from the desirable market town of Bradford-on-Avon. This historic town is famed for its Georgian architecture and bridge over the River Avon. It has excellent local shopping and an array of superb restaurants.
Further afield is the historic Georgian city of Bath with extensive shopping, restaurants, theatre and businesses. There is Premiership rugby on the Recreation Ground and Bath also has two excellent universities.
The area is renowned for its excellent schooling with Stonar School within 3 miles. Prior Park, King Edwards, Monkton Combe, Kingswood and The Royal High School are all in Bath. Further afield are St Mary’s Calne, Dauntseys, Millfield and Marlborough College. There are also a number of good state schools in the area.
Road and rail links from Holt are excellent. There is a regular service to London Paddington both from Chippenham and Bath Spa stations. Access to the M4 is via junction 17 (approx 15 miles) providing fast links to London and Heathrow. Bristol Airport is approx 30 miles away.
