Property description

THE PROPERTY Situated within the heart of the market town of Highworth and convenient for the shops and facilities is this wonderful period home which retains many of its original features. There are fireplaces in several of the rooms with solid fuel burning stoves, window shutters, wood panelling and exposed floor boards.



The accommodation is entered into a hall leading to a large family sitting room, with fireplace and wood burning stove, beneath which lies the cellar. To the front of the property lies a more formal sitting room with open fireplace. To the rear of the property is an attractive breakfast room and a refitted kitchen complete with cooking range, integral dishwasher, fridge freezer and a Belfast sink.



On the first floor are the two largest bedrooms, both with fireplaces, and a truly spacious bathroom which boasts a free standing roll top bath, twin wash hand basins with marble splash backs and a separate shower cubicle and WC.



On the second floor are two interconnecting rooms which are currently used as a double bedroom with adjacent snug, a further double bedroom and a shower room.



From the entrance hall, a part glazed door leads to a partly covered passageway with brick and stone path, with doors to the rear garden and to the outside store room/workshop.



The rear garden is delightful, enjoying a sunny aspect and measuring approximately 175ft in length. There is the original outside privy which is used as a storage shed, a wood store, brick and stone built potting shed, and a paved patio leading to an area of lawn. Beyond this, a gate leads into the kitchen gardens where there is plenty of room to grow your own vegetables and harvest fruit from the trees. The whole garden is west facing and mainly enclosed by a wall, with some areas of fencing.



At the end of the garden is a gate which leads to the garage and parking area. This area is accessed via a narrow drive from Cricklade Road and the owners of The White House have a right of access over this drive to get to their garage and parking area. There is an additional parking space to the front of the property.



The property benefits from a gas heating system to radiators and is offered for sale with the added advantage of no onward chain.
