4 bed detached house for sale

Hawk Street, Bromham, Chippenham SN15

Believed to date from around 1789, this is a magnificent barn conversion which has been creatively extended and modernised over the years into the stunning home that it is today. There is the potential to create further annex-type accommodation (subject to planning).

An oak-framed porch and front door open into a light, welcoming entrance hall with porcelain floor tiles and built in cupboards, which in turn opens into the incredible 36ft German kitchen by ‘RotPunkt’; with two-tone wall and base units, an island/breakfast bar with quartz worktops and a simply stunning vaulted oak framed dining area. The kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances including a ‘Stoves’ electric range oven, a dishwasher and walk-in pantry cupboard. The principal reception room is a spectacular 47ft, open plan ‘barn’ incorporating sitting and dining areas with a central log burner, a double-height vaulted ceiling and two staircases up to the mezzanine study and games room with glass balustrades overlooking the ground floor reception space. Another home comfort is the purpose-built cinema room with screen and projector. Back in the entrance hall, doors lead from an inner hall off to 4 double bedrooms, a re-fitted ‘Jack & Jill’ shower room shared with 2 of the double bedrooms. A self-contained guest suite has separate external access and modern en-suite shower room, with bath. The master suite has an open-vaulted ceiling, dual aspect and log burner with ‘Minster’ stone surround. It also has a bespoke dressing area and a beautiful, refitted en-suite shower room.
