Set on a large plot in the peaceful village of Badbury, this substantial four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow offers about 2,000 sq ft of flexible living. The house has two reception rooms, a conservatory, two bathrooms and a double garage with driveway parking — ideal for families who need space and storage. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, allowing a quicker move for the buyer.
The location is a strong selling point: village amenities include a popular pub and a farmshop, with quick access to the M4 and A419 for commuters. Nearby schools in Chiseldon and Wroughton, local sports and leisure facilities, and a generally affluent area support family life and resale value. The plot and mature, enclosed gardens provide privacy and room to adapt or extend (subject to planning).
Buyers should note several practical considerations. The house dates from before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls that likely lack modern insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. The property will benefit from updating and possible insulation upgrades to improve energy efficiency. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported higher than average, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful home with strong village convenience and good road links, suited to families or downsizers who value space and location but are prepared to carry out energy-efficiency improvements and general updating.
