7 bed detached house for sale

Kings Road, Market Lavington, Devizes SN10

Built in 1990 and on the market for the first time in 33 years, Ledge House is one very impressive house. This wonderful family home is set in enviable gardens of around 1.3 acres, including a small area of woodland, and has fantastic views down the valley behind. Internally, the first thing you notice about this house is the amount of space on offer, as well as how flexible the layout is. The accommodation is arranged over 3 floors, with the large lower ground floor bedroom, shower room and kitchenette having great potential to be used as a self-contained annexe, games room or even an Air BnB. A light and airy vaulted entrance hall with gallery landing, has a door into a 25ft x 24ft triple aspect drawing/dining room with bay window and a ‘Minster’ style open fireplace. From here double doors open into a breakfast room with steps down to the country cottage style kitchen that features a range of fitted units, an aga, and an AEG oven with hob. Accessed off the inner hall is a second staircase, a door into the double garage, and further doors into a snug with a log burning stove, a large Amdega conservatory and a useful utility room. On the first floor there are 6 double bedrooms, all with lovely views over the gardens and countryside beyond. The 23ft bay fronted main bedroom has its own sizeable en suite bathroom, and there are two further family bathrooms plus an en suite WC to bedroom 5.

Outside, this house truly excels with the mature well-kept gardens enjoying an excellent amount of privacy. The house sits in the middle of the plot so enjoys sun all day and has a number of places designed to sit and enjoy it, whether that is by the nature pond at the front or the rear patio sun terrace. There are extensive lawns, interspersed with well stocked colourful borders and flower beds, an array of mature trees (including a triangular area of woodland), plus a hidden away productive vegetable garden at the top of the grounds beside the gated entrance and long driveway.
