A fabulous family home occupying a generous plot in a popular village location, with convenient access to Bath, Bradford-on-Avon and Trowbridge. The property is in a cul-de-sac and is only minutes away from many countryside walks. The gardens are laid to lawn to the front, side and rear of the house, and the flower beds are well stocked with a variety of interesting plants and shrubs. There is a shed and outside tap in the back garden, a small potting area behind the double garage and two water butts to the side. There is space for 4 cars on the driveway. The 10-house development was built in 1992 in the grounds of Westwood House, which is still occupied.
The property comprises a central entrance hall, which provides access to all ground-floor rooms except the utility room which is accessed via the kitchen and side door. The ground floor features generous and well-balanced room proportions throughout, with lounge, dining room with sliding door to the back garden, kitchen, utility room, and a smaller room that is at present used as a study but could be a playroom/snug or 5th bedroom. The utility room comes with space for washing machine and tumble dryer. The first-floor accommodation comprises four generous bedrooms, all equipped with fitted wardrobes; one of the bedrooms is presently in use as a study. The master bedroom comes with an en-suite, and the 4-piece family bathroom serves the other bedrooms. There is a walk-in linen cupboard with a hot water tank, and access to the boarded loft is via a hatch on the landing.
The thriving village of Westwood has its own primary school, convenience store with Post Office, New Inn pub, social club, park with children’s playground, and the National Trust property of Westwood Manor next to the 13th-century church of St Mary and its refurbished Parish Room with many activities on offer. The neighbouring hamlet of Iford boasts a cidery and also Iford Manor, with its stunning gardens and acclaimed coffee shop and restaurant. The hamlet of Avoncliff has its own station (although not served by all trains), the recently renovated Cross Guns pub, tea room, and the historic aqueduct that takes the Kennet and Avon canal over the river Avon and the railway. There is a Sainsbury’s supermarket 1.4 miles away on the outskirts of Bradford-on-Avon with its historic buildings, shops, cafes and restaurants, and the Wiltshire Music Centre.
