A true early-20th century detached house offered chain-free and ready for a new owner to modernise. The property retains period character — bay windows, high ceilings and fireplaces — and sits within easy walking distance of Chippenham town centre and the mainline station, making it well placed for commuters and families.
The ground floor provides a sitting room with bay, separate dining room overlooking the garden, kitchen with larder and a side lobby leading to the rear garden. Upstairs there is a large main bedroom with bay and fireplace, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside are a small gravelled front garden and an enclosed rear garden with patio and gravel, plus a metal store.
Important to note: the house needs updating throughout. Double glazing is older, cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and the property will benefit from modernisation of kitchen, bathroom and heating components as required. The layout and room sizes offer clear scope for refurbishment to create a comfortable family home or a commuter buy-close-to-station.
Practical strengths are the freehold tenure, convenient central location, single-bathroom layout and average overall size (around 1,066 sq ft). Local services, schools (several rated Good), and easy links to the M4 add appeal. Buyers should budget for renovation work and possible energy-efficiency improvements before modern standards are met.
