5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

There are not enough adjectives to describe this beautiful home set off a quiet road in the heart of the village of Holt with a walled front garden laid to gravel and ornamental beds, this three floor, double fronted Georgian home boasts generous living space, mature gardens, a 2 bedroom annex and plentiful off road parking. 

Upon entering the house through the gravel courtyard, and through the dual columns either side of the front door, you are greeted by a grand hallway featuring a striking oversized fireplace. Adding a touch of elegance to the entryway and certainly offering the wow factor the hall is currently serving as a dining area, but could be reimagined into a formal entrance hall or a cozy retreat with comfortable seating and bookshelves. To one side of the hallway is a charming sitting room with a stone fireplace and a log burner, perfect for relaxing in comfortable oversized sofas. Opposite, a second reception room, equipped with a multi-fuel burner, offers a flexible space that could function as a bedroom, office, or formal dining room, depending on your needs.

The stunning, recently updated kitchen is located off the hallway to the side of the fireplace, within a stunning orangery that overlooks the pretty garden. The kitchen is light-filled and spacious, with a convenient pantry/utility area and a separate downstairs shower room tucked away at the far end. At the opposite end where the patio doors lead out into the garden, this is an ideal area for relaxing with a coffee or enjoying the evening sunsets with a drink. This layout is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining guests.

Upstairs, the original features continue with a delightful first floor that offers two generously sized double bedrooms, both with built-in storage and overlooking the gravelled courtyard to the front of the house. These rooms share a well-appointed shower room which has the useful addition of linen storage cupboards.

The second floor is home to a fabulous master suite, nestled in the eaves, offering a tranquil retreat with a large, luxurious bathroom complete with a bath—a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the household. This would be ideal for guests or as the main bedroom suite of the house.

The property also includes a self-contained annex with its own kitchen, sitting room, two double bedrooms, and bathroom. This versatile space is ideal for generating rental income, accommodating extended family, or providing a private retreat for older children or relatives.

Outside, the well-maintained, enclosed garden is a tranquil haven, featuring patio areas, lawns, and a pond, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining family and friends. The property benefits from ample parking, with space for at least four cars on the driveway, as well as a double garage that offers useful storage or potential for additional living or working space (subject to planning consents). This could be transformed into a home office, artist's studio, or even extra living quarters.

Holt itself is a vibrant village with a strong sense of community. It has a primary school and is within easy reach of other schools. Nearby attractions include The Courts and Chalfield Manor, as well as scenic country walks. For dining and refreshments, you can enjoy local pubs such as The Old Glove Factory, The Toll Gate, and The Old Ham Tree. The village is well-connected, with the busy market town of Bradford-on-Avon and Melksham just a short drive away, and the M4 motorway approximately 45 minutes away, offering easy access to major cities and the wider region.

In short this beautiful home offers a perfect blend of historical character and modern convenience, with the added benefit of a self-contained annex, making it an ideal choice for a variety of family living arrangements or investment opportunities.
