Stairs from the reception hall lead to a light, open landing area. The master bedroom enjoys a double aspect with lovely views across the garden.

The property is approached through a five-bar gate on to a gravel driveway which leads to one side of the property where a double car port is situated at one end and adjacent to the house a further double bay open fronted garage. A gravel footpath leads up to the front door and is lined either side by box hedging. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and have numerous trees. A brook runs along the far side of the garden and a wooden footbridge leads over to the remaining gardens and the adjoining paddock.

The beautiful National Trust Village of Lacock is close by. Bristol and Swindon are within easy access and Chippenham train station has a regular service into London Paddington (approximately 75 minutes). Motorway access to the M4 is either at junction 16 or 17.
