A View to Fall in Love With, and a Home That Captures It Perfectly

Tucked away in the very heart of Old Town, Swindon, this five-bedroom detached home offers something truly special - that rare combination of space, privacy, and a view that will quite literally make you stop mid sentence. This isn't just a house you look at - it's one you feel It's the kind of place where every sunset feels like your own private show, and every window seems to frame a piece of Old Town's charm.

From the moment you roll through the gated driveway, it's clear this home is something out of the ordinary. There's parking for up to eight cars, so there's plenty of room for family, friends, and those impromptu dinner parties that always end up on the decking. The double garage adds practicality and extra storage, but it's the sense of arrival that really makes an impression - a home that's big on presence, yet warm and welcoming too.

Inside, it's all about proportions and versatile spaces that just work for modern family life. The three reception rooms offer endless possibilities - a light-filled living area with that spectacular view, a playroom for children to host as many teddybear tea parties as they can handle, and a formal dining space perfect for celebrations. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, inviting both busy weekday breakfasts and those slower Sunday mornings with coffee brewing and sunlight streaming in.
The double garage has been converted into a large room, perfect for for a home gym, or with a bit of clever magic could make a knockout kitchen/diner.
There's also a downstairs cloakroom for convenience, because let's face it, good design is as much about practicality as it is about style.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The master bedroom is a true sanctuary - a calm, light-filled retreat where you can close the door on the world. The four-piece en-suite is the kind of space that makes you look forward to bath time, complete with a roll-top bath that practically demands a long soak and a good book.
On this floor you will find a further three bedrooms, each full of character and flexibility - ideal for family, guests, or even that long-dreamed-of home office with a view. Another bathroom to ensure everyone has their own space, making mornings that little bit smoother.

Head up one further staircase, and you fully embrace the view which makes this home a show-stopper. A bedroom, and shower room complete this floor - oh and some eaves storage - or a magical cupboard crying out to be a child's den - think sleepover parties which have the school friends begging to keep on staying!

Outside, the garden is a delight - perfectly sized to enjoy without being overwhelming. There's room for al fresco dining, a touch of gardening, or simply stretching out on a deck chair and losing yourself in that view. It's peaceful, private, and offers the kind of backdrop that makes you fall in love with home all over again.
