A rare opportunity to acquire a secluded countryside retreat that perfectly balances rural peace with the convenience of a historic market town. Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Sleight, Cornerways offers a private sanctuary surrounded by rolling fields, yet remains within an enviable walking distance of Devizes via scenic byways.
The property occupies a privileged position where the sounds of the town are replaced by the rustle of leaves, offering far-reaching views that shift with the seasons. This unique 'best of both worlds' location makes it ideal for those who crave the quiet of the country without sacrificing access to artisan bakeries, local pubs, and essential services. This home represents a rare chance to secure a lifestyle defined by heritage and tranquility in a home tailored specifically to your own taste and vision.
The property is offered as a genuine blank canvas for those looking to create a bespoke residence. While the home requires cosmetic modernisation, the ground floor presents excellent proportions, including a dual-aspect sitting room with a stone-surround fireplace and a generous dining room designed for entertaining. The kitchen is well-proportioned with traditional shaker style cabinetry and wood-effect worktops, supported by a practical utility room and a ground-floor family bathroom featuring classic tiling. Large windows frame the surrounding greenery, ensuring the interior feels bright and connected to the landscape, providing the perfect space for a contemporary or traditional transformation.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a vast master suite that offers ample space to incorporate a private dressing area as well as benefiting from an en-suite. The bedrooms feature charming sloped ceilings and elevated views over the Wiltshire countryside.
Outside, the property is further enhanced by an extensive detached double garage block, offering significant potential for a workshop, studio, or classic car storage, all nestled within a plot framed by mature hedging and stone walling. There is also a greenhouse and pond, together with wonderful countryside views.
Living at Sleight means having the best of Wiltshire at your doorstep, from the historic Market Place of Devizes to the iconic Caen Hill Flight of locks on the Kennet & Avon Canal. Residents enjoy a wealth of amenities, including a weekly traditional market and highly-regarded local schools. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the area serves as a gateway to the North Wessex Downs, offering endless miles of footpaths and bridleways.
