5 bed detached house for sale

The Street, Brinkworth, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN15

Box Bush House is a Grade II listed detached residence, blending Georgian and Queen Anne architectural styles, set within expansive grounds. The home features beautifully proportioned rooms and retains many charming period details.

The striking entrance hall features a sweeping staircase leading to the first floor. The drawing room overlooks the front grounds and includes a wood floor and an open fireplace-elements that flow throughout the house. Opposite is the dining room with its own feature fireplace and direct access to the kitchen. The kitchen reflects the house’s historic past, believed to have been a bakery, with exposed red brick walls and stainless steel work surfaces. Beyond the kitchen is a practical storage/boot room that opens onto the garden. A bright study, ideal for working from home, overlooks the garden and connects to a laundry room with an adjacent downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, there are three generously sized bedrooms, each with large windows overlooking the gardens. The oversized family bathroom features a centrally positioned bath and a separate shower. A walk-in airing cupboard is conveniently located nearby.

A discreet staircase leads to a mezzanine floor with two open-plan rooms, perfect as a teenage den, snug, or additional storage space. Further stairs lead to the second floor, where two more well-appointed bedrooms are served by a modern bathroom.

Outside, a gated driveway sweeps past an oak-built double garage with automatic doors and a versatile room above, suitable as a home office or extra accommodation. Adjacent stables, currently used for storage, had planning permission for conversion into an annex and offer excellent potential, though some renovation is required.

The house is surrounded by wraparound gardens with mature trees, shrubs, several fruit trees, and mainly lawn, complemented by a patio close to the house. There is ample parking available near the property.

Situated in the quiet village of Brinkworth-the longest village in England-local amenities include a primary school, nursery, church, and a popular pub known for its quality food. Brinkworth is just four miles east of Malmesbury, a historic market town famous for its architectural heritage, including the ancient Abbey, as well as a range of shops, a Waitrose, award-winning schools, and leisure facilities. The town is surrounded by scenic countryside with rivers and walking paths nearby.

Transport links are excellent, with public transport services and easy road access to Cirencester, Chippenham, Swindon, Bath, and Bristol. The M4 motorway (Junction 17) is five miles south. Train stations at Chippenham (10 miles) and Kemble (5 miles) provide regular services to London Paddington in about 1 hour 15 minutes.
