Steinbrook House

DESCRIPTION Steinbrook House is a magnificent country house set within approximately 10 acres of extensive gardens and paddock accompanied by a superb large lake. The property is located in a rural setting on the edge of the sought-after village of Kington Langley close to Chippenham. Dating back to the 1860s built in the Arts and Crafts style, the property boasts an impressive array of charm and character around every corner and has been extended in modern years. Today the substantial accommodation extends in all to 5,780 sq.ft. with excellent proportions and high ceilings throughout. The property also has the extra benefit of full planning permission to build a second dwelling within the land.

On the ground floor, there is a spectacular entrance hall with a grand galleried staircase framed by stone arches, wooden panelling and an ornate stone fireplace. There are three large reception rooms filled with natural light through ceiling height windows. The farmhouse style kitchen is fitted with an electric Aga while there are various utility, laundry and store rooms in addition. On the first floor, there are six bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a large dressing room, and an ante-room accompanying one of the bedrooms. There are five bathrooms upstairs, four of which are en-suites, while downstairs there is a WC and external WC besides a garden store. The principal bedroom has a sizable en-suite bathroom fully fitted with both a bath and large walk-in shower and enjoys a delightful balcony overlooking the grounds. The second bedroom also has an en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe.

An electric gated sweeping driveway makes for a statement approach, leading to a large tarmac parking area for numerous vehicles and a double garage. The grounds are divided into formal gardens featuring ancient oak trees, a cutting garden, and extensive lawns gently sloping down to the 1.5 acre lake creating a magical setting. The lake is well-stocked with fish and is a haven for wildlife. A sloping paddock arranged to the south is enjoyed as a wildflower meadow and offers land for grazing. There is a wildlife corridor that wanders alongside the brook.

Within the separate paddock of c.5 acres, planning permission was granted in April 2021 (ref: 20/04524/FUL) to construct a separate substantial single storey dwelling (c.5,731 sq.ft) with its own access.
