5 bed detached house for sale

The Fairway, Devizes SN10

Fine & Country are delighted to present this wonderful, 5 bedroom deatched family home which is discreetly positioned at the end of a private no through road with over 3 acres of glorious grounds.

Secret Valley is incredibly well presented: Modern, light and spacious yet with all the charm and appearance of the original 1930’s dwelling. There are generous reception spaces that have been cleverly extended, making it the ideal house for gatherings and entertaining larger groups.

Named ‘Secret Valley’ in reference to the discreet position at the end of the ever-popular private road, The Fairway, this magnificent home is nestled within just over three acres of mature and beautifully maintained grounds.

Devizes is a charming market town, rich in heritage alongside modern amenities with a superb selection of restaurants, pubs, boutique shops and a weekly farmer’s market. The area is well connected with easy access to the M4 and direct rail services to London Paddington (taking approximately 1 hour) from Pewsey.

Ground Floor:

Every element of the internal design of Secret Valley showcases a seamless blend of high-quality craftsmanship alongside excellent room proportions, emphasizing space and light. There is a wonderful flow to the ground floor: A separate sitting room with a feature open fire can be separated off from the remaining ground floor for the cosy winter evenings, or alternatively, the original Crittall doors open out onto the versatile, dual aspect, L-shaped reception area with large sliding doors leading out onto the lawned, formal gardens. The impressive kitchen offers the perfect space for entertaining guests with a large central island, bar area and access straight onto the east-facing terrace. French Limestone flooring from the highly regarded Artisans of Devizes runs through the kitchen, with underfloor heating, leading from the entrance hall. The utility room and guest cloakroom are also located on the ground floor.

First Floor:

The landing, with high ceilings and a large bow bay window, gives a nod to the original 1930’s architectural design. The master suite is dual aspect and filled with natural light with sliding double doors leading out onto the private east-facing balcony. There is a separate dressing area and luxury en-suite. Three further bedrooms, including the principal guest room with en-suite, and the family bathroom complete the first floor accommodation.

Accessed externally via the rear of the property, the guest suite can easily be used separately from the main house, or brought into the fold for guests or staff.

Outside:

The grounds at Secret Valley have been beautifully maintained and offer a peaceful, mature green environment surrounding the house. The formal, lawned gardens feature well-manicured lawns and focal water features, which create a serene atmosphere to enjoy outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining whilst the blooms of the cut flower garden keep the house full of vibrant flower arrangements throughout the summer months. Beyond the formal gardens, mature specimen trees create even more seclusion with serpentine garden paths leading from the house down through the grounds. A five-bar gate allows access through the woodland area and down to the level, enclosed paddock with a pond and detached outbuilding with fitted kitchenette, shower room and reception area with flagstone flooring. To the rear of the outbuilding is large machinery and vehicle store with electric up-and-over door. The property is accessed via double gates leading to a large, private driveway and double carport.

Location:

The Fairway is an exclusive, private 'no through' road, ideally placed within easy walking distance of the town centre and its amenities. The road is made up of substantial, detached dwellings, showcasing a variety of architectural styles.

The local residents purchased ‘The Secret Garden', a valley to the left-hand side of the road to ensure it remains as an undeveloped amenity for them to enjoy. New homeowners on the road have the opportunity to become shareholders.

Devizes is a thriving market town with range of shops, cafes, supermarkets, a library, sports centre, cinema and museum. There is a vibrant weekly produce market and an annual timetable of festivals and events celebrating arts, culture, food and music.

The property is well positioned for excellent schooling including Marlborough College, Dauntsey’s in West Lavington, St Mary’s Calne, Stonar and Pinewood.

The historic cities of Bath and Salisbury provide a great range of shops, as well as cultural and social activities. Pewsey mainline railway station provides direct services to London Paddington. The A303 is to the south and provides access links to the south west and east of England, whilst the A316 provides access to the M4.
