This modern four-bedroom detached house on Drake Crescent sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on Chippenham’s western side, well placed for the A350/A4 and M4 Jct.17. The layout suits family life: a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room opening to a conservatory, fitted kitchen with adjoining utility, and a tandem driveway leading to a single garage with included Zappi EV charger.
Energy running costs have been reduced by an owned 4.25kWp solar system (installed 2023) paired with a 10.65kWh storage battery; the inverter and battery are located in the garage. Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating with a new boiler (2023) and good mobile/broadband connectivity — useful for remote working or family streaming.
Outside is a private, low-maintenance rear garden with patio and shingle areas, gated side access and a personal door into the garage. The plot is a decent suburban size and the property’s room distribution and finishes are typical of modern 1996–2002 detached family homes in the area.
Notable points to consider: the house has a modest overall internal size (about 1,063 sq ft) for four bedrooms, and the garden is largely shingled rather than lawn — better for low maintenance but offering limited soft landscaping. Council Tax is band E (above average), and the garage is single and arranged in tandem with driveway parking rather than a wider double garage.
