Description Christmas House is a charming village house forming a substantial wing of this elegant Grade II Listed building fronting the High Street of the thriving village of Wickwar, with a range of amenities available off the doorstep. Dating back to the 17th Century, the property had various alterations in the 18th and 19th Century with the house later being split into two in the 1970s. In more recent years, the property has been brought up to modern specification with updated kitchen and bathrooms, additional insulation, a rear extension with underfloor heating and aluminium secondary glazing. In more recent times, the period features have been harmonised with a stylish contemporary bi-folding internal door linking the two main living areas and creating the feeling of open plan. Additionally, the roof has been replaced and the kitchen has been reconfigured to include a fitted utility area. The property displays a wealth of period features typical to the era such as traditional fireplaces and high ceilings creating light and airy accommodation arranged over three floors and extending in all to 1,249 sq.ft. On the ground floor, an entrance hall shared with number 39a accesses the front living room with an open fireplace and stairs up. The new bi-fold doors flow to the extended 29ft kitchen/dining room which is filled with light from further bi-folding doors to the garden. The kitchen has beautifully fitted units topped with mirror stone surfaces and stylish porcelain flooring, beneath the dining area there is underfloor heating. Off the kitchen is a newly added utility storage which includes a washing machine and American style fridge/freezer. On the first floor there is a single bedroom and a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The top floor has an impressive principal bedroom suite with exposed beams whilst a solid oak and glass finish partition steps down to a stylish open en-suite which has a shower over bath and separate WC. From both the first and second floor far reaching views can be adjoin over the village rooftops to the beyond countryside.  Externally, the sunny rear garden is of good size with external plugs and landscaped with a sun terrace, lawn and side path down to the rear pedestrian gate accessing the parking area.
