5 bed detached house for sale

Greens Lane Wroughton, Swindon SN4

The Knole is a stunning Grade ll Listed cottage which dates back to 1713, which over the years has been extended to create a fabulous home which is sympathetic to its inherent character whilst enjoying the benefits of modern day living.
More recently the property has been upgraded with a sleek, stylish colour scheme and neutral carpets which with the large window openings make it beautifully light and airy. Hints of character are reflected in exposed ceiling beams, stripped stone wall, an Inglenook fireplace and several windows.

The ground floor is versatile which makes working from home easy with lots of options. There are four main reception rooms including a snug with inglenook fireplace, large family room with contemporary feature fire, conservatory and spacious dining room. The bespoke handmade kitchen is the perfect blend of traditional design in a heritage grey colour with modern fittings, including an integrated dishwasher and range style cooker. There is an adjoining useful utility room, with door to outside. Finally, also on the ground floor is a double bedroom which has an adjacent WC which is ideal for guests or could be used as an office.

The first floor echoes the ground floor with a great feeling if space and light. The main bedroom is indulgent with ample wardrobe space and an ensuite. There are four further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office. To complete the first floor is a good sized family bathroom.

Outside

The property is approached via a gated drive leading to a detached double garage with gym/studio attached and an area of parking for several cars. A pedestrian gate opens onto the garden which is enclosed and mainly laid to lawn with different areas of interest. Steps lead down to a secluded paved terrace ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

The garden wraps around the side of the house and enjoys many mature trees and shrubs alongside fully stocked borders which come to life in the warmer months.
