Welcome to this handsome double-fronted detached house, a rare period gem that is presented in excellent condition throughout, occupying a wonderful peaceful position close to excellent local schooling and the thriving centre of Holt village. This attractive period property originally dates back to 1815 and has since been sympathetically restored and improved upon by our Vendors to provide over 1500 square feet of well-proportioned and characterful accommodation which now perfectly blends together the charm of a bygone era, with a wealth of modern conveniences such as underfloor heating.
Park on the level and private gravel driveway at the front of this property and enter through a welcoming hallway that also sports a useful utility area, equipped with fitted storage to keep everything tidy and well-organised, along with a convenient cloakroom / W.C. For those who love to entertain, the show-stopping open-plan kitchen/dining/living area measures over 30 feet in length is sure to impress. Finished to an exacting high standard with high-end fitted appliances inclusive of a 'Smeg' dual fuel range cooker, a Beko American style fridge freezer and an integrated Siemens dishwasher, there is plenty of room for both casual family meals and dinner parties with friends. The well-proportioned sitting room provides an ideal space for relaxation, with a cosy wood-burning stove adding warmth and ambiance during cooler evenings. The property also features a versatile, large separate playroom / home office, perfect for those who need a home office or a space for children to play.
Upstairs, a bright landing with attractive vaulted ceilings gives access to all four of the notably large double bedrooms, two of which benefit from in build wardrobe storage offering plenty of space for family members or guests. The main bedroom serves as a luxurious retreat, complete with a good size en suite shower room which compliments the main bathroom to help meet the demands of family life. Occupiers of all of the bedrooms can enjoy a lovely leafy outlook at the front, and a lovely countryside view at the rear, overlooking the gorgeous rear garden and beyond.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a glorious, level, and enclosed garden at the rear - a true haven for families who value having plenty of lawn for the children to enjoy, whilst looking on from the inviting and expansive patio. Bordered with an array of flourishing colourful plants and small shrubs within the planting beds, this space is perfect for children to play safely or for adults to unwind and entertain during summer months. The lush greenery and peaceful ambiance make it an ideal spot for outdoor dining or morning coffee, and, owing to the excellent orientation and size of the garden, it can almost always be found bathed in plenty of direct natural sunlight through the day. There is also a secure timber shed in situ to store the garden essentials neatly away within.
The pretty village of Holt is conveniently situated approximately two miles from the centre of Bradford on Avon (with efficient train links to Bath, Bristol and London), three miles from Melksham and Trowbridge, and eight or so miles away from the thriving Georgian City of Bath. This property benefits from a handy bus service to a range of destinations that picks up from a stop just down the street, and also has access to 'high speed' fibre-optic broadband. Village amenities include a well-stocked general store, two churches, two public houses, a post office, primary school, and recreational facilities inclusive of two floodlit tennis courts, basketball court, children's play-area and a sports field - which this property is more-or-less situated on the door-step of! Also situated within the village is the stylish and popular 'Glove Factory' development, which provides handy office and social spaces for local people to enjoy - Popping in for a coffee or a meal here is highly recommended! In addition, there are numerous beautiful walks and two National Trust properties, namely The Courts Gardens and Chalfield Manor. Local residents in Holt currently benefit from free access to the Courts Gardens through the year. Secondary schooling is also well catered for, with a range of excellent and popular schools within an easy reach of this property in almost all directions out of the Village.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
