A simply marvellous 4 bedroom semi detached period home with an abundance of character and charm, and an immaculately well kept garden that is a pure delight for gardening enthusiasts.
'Purnells' is located down a small tranquil lane that is just a short stroll from the centre of this most sought after Wiltshire village. Approached through wooden double gates onto a driveway that is big enough for 4 cars, the property has an open fronted garage as well as a 19ft barn with light and power (re-roofed 8 years ago), that was previously the 'laundry shed,' but now offers scope for a number of uses as a possible games room/studio or workshop.
Internally, an entrance hall with slate flooring and downstairs cloakroom, opens through to a dual aspect sitting room with a beautiful Jacobean style Inglenook fireplace. There is a separate dining room and a triple aspect kitchen both with slate flooring. The kitchen has a wood front and trimmed worktops alongside an oil fired Rayburn range (providing cooking and heating). An attractive rear hall/sun room has stairs up to a beamed first floor landing where there are four bedrooms (two with ornamental fireplaces), complemented by a bathroom and shower room. Outside, this cottage really excels with tidy lawns flanked by well stocked colourful 'stage' borders with an array of plants and shrubs. There are 'David Austin' roses, a Christmas rose, alliums, irises, camellias and hellebores, alongside a walnut tree, yew tree and flowering cherry. A small pond, a greenhouse and private patio sun terrace complete the home.
Situation - The property is located just off the centre of this picturesque village of Steeple Ashton, which on numerous occasions has been voted the 'Best kept village in Wiltshire.' The village consists predominately of attractive period houses set around a village green, and has a thriving community. There is a wonderful public house and post office, a Keep, a n incredible 15th Century church and a playing field. The major centres of Devizes, Trowbridge, Melksham and Chippenham are within easy reach and the cities of Bath and Salisbury are both within a thirty mile radius. Dauntsey’s School, Marlborough College and St Mary's Calne are easily accessible. Communications in the area are excellent with train services to London Paddington from Chippenham, Pewsey and Westbury; fast road access to London and the West Country, Heathrow and Gatwick via the M4 to the north and the A303 to the south.
