Giddeahall, Yatton Keynell, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN14

This detached country home and self-contained annexe, set within a good-sized gated plot, sits nestled within the Wiltshire hamlet of Giddeahall, just four miles to the east of Chippenham and within easy reach of the beautiful city of Bath. Positioned in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is surrounded by stunning countryside and a wealth of historic villages and towns: Castle Combe, named as the ‘prettiest village in England,’ and Corsham, with its fine Court and Park designed by Capability Brown, to name just two. With doorstep access to miles of country walks and the M4 just a stone's throw away, the location offers the best of country living and modern convenience. The current owners have lived here for five years and say, ‘The space, peacefulness, and stunning countryside coupled with good road links to local villages and towns make this an excellent place to live. In addition, the house offers wonderful countryside views from all windows in all directions and plenty of freedom for children and dogs.’ The sizable south-facing garden, featuring lawns, mature trees, patio areas for soaking up the sunshine, and planted beds ideal for growing vegetables, offers space and privacy in equal measure. Laid out over two floors with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two reception rooms, and a kitchen/diner, the house, coupled with the annex, offers abundant space for family and guests. A double garage with storage adds extra appeal. ‘We have landscaped the gardens to make them more family-friendly, with an improved entertaining space – the rear patio space is excellent for entertaining and the perfect place to enjoy a drink while the sun sets behind the trees.’ ‘Recent updates include installing a new oil tank, a large water tank, electronic double-garage doors, the installation of a new 10k sewerage system and double-glazing in all three buildings.’ ‘The kitchen is very much the hub of the house, with space to cook, sit, and chat.’ ‘The annex has a separate courtyard, and the grass area behind can be fenced off to provide privacy and security for guests and their dogs.’ ‘The area benefits from consistently high-performing local schools – state and independent for all ages – and good amenities, from village pubs and farm shops to larger shopping centres.’ ‘The families of Giddeahall regularly head out on local hikes together, and the children can safely knock on each other’s front doors. Nearby Biddestone and Yatton Keynell communities are very friendly and welcoming too.’ Additional Information: Postcode: SN14 7ET Local Authority: Wiltshire.
