Nestled in the most serene location, this gorgeous four bedroom period home in Lacock offers stunning views of the surrounding Wiltshire countryside and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with character, space, and a fantastic connection to its picturesque surroundings, whilst boasting an excellent modern layout inside.

The ground floor boasts a spacious 18-foot sitting room with impressive high ceilings and attractive cornicing detail. Perfect for relaxation and hosting, this double-aspect room features a fireplace with a gas supply and patio doors that seamlessly connect to the garden, inviting the outdoors in. The well-equipped and notably large open-plan kitchen/dining room extends the entire depth of this home, featuring a charming wood-burning stove and plenty of storage within the cupboards and drawers of this top-quality traditional country-cottage kitchen. This sociable space is also heated by cosy electric underfloor heating beneath the quality black limestone flooring and comes complete with fitted appliances including the impressive rang cooker, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. A separate utility room houses the boiler and adds to the practicality and convenience of the living space, keeping larger appliances out of eye and earshot and giving extra preparation and storage space. A useful porch at the rear provides a welcoming space to store the coats and shoes after a stroll in the country.

Ascending to the first floor, you will discover four well-proportioned bedrooms accessible from the airy landing, which also features more fitted storage to help cope with busy family life. The principle bedroom benefits from a lovely dual-outlook, an en suite shower room with W.C, sink and heated towel rail, and a walk-in wardrobe, offering a private retreat. The remaining bedrooms are served by a high-quality family bathroom, naturally lit and designed for comfort and convenience with a full-length bath with shower over, stone sink bowl, and W.C.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive, featuring wonderful expansive and mature private gardens that wrap around to the back and side, enjoying sun throughout the day in the multitude of different seating areas to choose from. A real safe-haven that allows wildlife to thrive, this generous outside space is a garden-enthusiasts dream, including a sizeable patio in which to host and relax, in addition to a generous amount of lawn and well-stocked herbaceous planting beds that are bursting with colour in the summer months.

The ample private parking is located at the rear and is provided by a driveway suitable for several vehicles which leads in turn to a characterful detached single garage that benefits from an electric door, EV charging point, light, power and a conventional pitched roof.

Set in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside, Lacock is one of England’s most beautifully preserved villages, offering a blend of historic charm, strong community spirit and everyday practicality. The Village feels quintessentially rural while remaining highly convenient for modern life. Steeped in over a thousand years of history and recorded in the Domesday Book, Lacock grew around the magnificent Lacock Abbey, founded in 1232 and later home to photographic pioneer William Henry Fox Talbot. The village’s architectural integrity has been carefully protected, creating a uniquely atmospheric setting that is both visually stunning and genuinely lived-in, having been the site location for several major film and television productions, including Harry Potter. Further to its heritage status, Lacock functions as a thriving village, with a bustling shop, bakery, tearooms, historic pubs, a primary school and a church. Surrounded by open countryside, Lacock offers immediate access to scenic walking and cycling routes, with fields, woodland and riverside paths right on the doorstep, and established playing fields and parks for children to enjoy. Yet the village is exceptionally well connected: Chippenham is just a few miles away, providing mainline rail services to London Paddington, Bath and Bristol, while road links via the A350 and M4 (Junction 17) make commuting straightforward.
