4 bed detached house for sale

Bath Road, Atworth, Melksham SN12

There is much to behold in this extended period cottage and so much potential to make it a superb home which has been owned by the same family for well over 40 years. Situated in the village of Atworth the main cottage has four bedrooms with a separate self contained one bedroom annex which could, subject to planning be incorporated into the main dwelling to make a sizable family home. The annex itself has to the ground floor an open plan kitchen living area with cloakroom and spiral stairs to the bedroom which has en suite facilities and a built in wardrobe. The door to the main cottage is directly opposite the entrance to the annex. This has a hallway with doors to the kitchen, spacious living room with access to the garden, door into the original cottage which is a second living room/dining room with feature fireplace and log burner and a further door to the sun room. The spacious kitchen is well equipped with built in appliances which include a dish washer, oven and hob as well as space for a washing machine, granite work tops and plenty of solid wood wall and base units. The kitchen is L shaped with doors to the cloakroom and utility room which also has a door to the garden. Also off the kitchen are paddle steps to a storage room above part of the kitchen, ideal for storage or a children's playroom. To the first floor are four bedrooms, the front two being in the original cottage, the remaining to the rear as well as a family bathroom and very handy second shower room. Alpha Cottage sits in a good sized plot to the front, side and rear. The front is enclosed by hedgerow and is laid mainly to lawn with a vegetable plot and a couple of mature apple trees. The lawn continues to the side as does the hedge affording security and privacy whilst the rear garden is a mixture of lawn and patio with some stone walls, small ponds and storage sheds.
