4 bed detached house for sale

Hook Street, Royal Wootton Bassett, Swindon SN4

A truly impressive Georgian cottage, enviably set within private, enclosed grounds extending to just over 0.9 of an acre, backing directly onto open countryside and enjoying far-reaching rural views. This remarkable home has been thoughtfully and substantially extended over the years, resulting in generously proportioned and versatile living accommodation throughout. Ideally situated between the towns of Swindon and Royal Wootton Bassett, the property also benefits from excellent connectivity, being just a short drive from Junction 16 of the M4 corridor, offering an exceptional balance of convenient commuting and idyllic countryside living.

The property is approached via an expansive driveway, securely enclosed by electric double gates and mature hedgerow boundaries, creating a wonderful sense of privacy. The driveway provides ample parking for numerous vehicles and is complemented by a detached double garage positioned to the side. Within the grounds are two additional outbuildings that further enhance the lifestyle on offer, including a detached gym and a bar/games room discreetly located in the corner of the garden. This area also features a separate changing room, perfectly suited for use alongside the jacuzzi or outdoor swimming pool.

Stepping through the front door, you are greeted by a striking reception hallway with a gallery landing above, setting an immediate tone of space and character. The substantial triple-aspect living room is bathed in natural light and features a charming cast iron burner. There is also a “secret” snug, privately positioned and complete with an open fireplace and patio doors leading out to a covered sun terrace, providing an inviting setting for relaxed evenings. The newly installed kitchen/breakfast room flows seamlessly into a conservatory/dining area, while a separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is beautifully positioned at the rear of the property to take full advantage of the stunning countryside views. It is enhanced by a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and an impressive en-suite bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, freestanding roll-top bath, WC and twin sinks. The second bedroom also enjoys the benefit of a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the upper floor.

Overall, this is an exceptional home offering a rare combination of character, space and setting, and it truly needs to be viewed in person to appreciate everything it has to offer.
