4 bed detached house for sale

The Stocks, Seend, Melksham SN12

A spacious detached period home with a wealth of character features, set on a wonderful plot of 0.4 acre. With a flexible layout approaching 2,000sqft, commanding countryside views to 3 sides, and a a large single storey outbuilding (over 1100sqft) offering a range of potential options.

With the original house dating back to circa 1850 (and originally 2 residences), the house is now a single dwelling which has been extended to form a charming and nicely presented individual family home. Located on the outskirts of the village of Seend in the popular hamlet of Seend Cleeve, 'Sand Cottage is set in approximately 0.4 acres and has a dual access arrangement, with a long private driveway to the rear leading to the existing cattery/single storey outbuilding with a further driveway off the main road to the house itself. Depending on the intentions of the future owner, there is a wonderful opportunity to develop the current cattery/outbuilding area to the rear. We feel this could make an ideal annexe/studio/outdoor office area (all subject to the relevant planning permissions).

The main house is a generously proportioned four bedroom home, retaining many original character features including an Inglenook fireplace and exposed beams, and offers stunning elevated views across the valley and out towards Salisbury Plain. On the ground floor is a large kitchen/breakfast room with a pantry cupboard, a range of floor and wall units and dual aspect views over the gardens. There is a delightful sitting room that oepsn into a family room/snug, a utility room and downstairs shower room. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, two of which have en-suites. The vaulted main bedroom is particularly lovely and takes in those wonderful rural views.
