DESCRIPTION Brooklea is a detached home situated on the rural edge of Ford, a quintessential village well-located for the commuter with the centre of Bath just a 25 minute drive away. The property enjoys an elevated south-facing position overlooking rolling countryside and a pretty brook meandering through the ByBrook valley. Brooklea has been the subject of a total transformation by the current owners who have thoughtfully evolved the property into an excellent family home well-designed for modern living standards. Other upgrades include a new Klargester drainage system, LPG heating system and zoned underfloor heating warming the entire house. Both inside and out, the property is presented immaculately to be move in ready for the next owners. The light and airy accommodation extends in all to a sizable 1,840 sq.ft. arranged over two floors. The ground floor accommodation flows superbly from one room to another combining cosy corners and wonderful open plan configurations. There is an impressive amount of storage thoughtfully fitted throughout the property. On the ground floor, a front porch opens to the entrance hall which has double doors flowing into the living room. This light-filled room has a Bath stone open fireplace and double patio doors spilling out to the charming garden. The versatile dining room connects to the living room and also enjoys a lovely outlook across the garden through patio doors. The kitchen/breakfast room has been superbly fitted with cherry wood units combined with a stylish curved steel effect finish incorporating an extensive amount of storage and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, two dishwasher drawers and a gas hob range cooker with electric oven. Beside the kitchen is a useful utility room with further fitted units and a water softener. On the first floor, there are four flexible bedrooms including three with generous built-in storage and the fourth which is currently utilised as a luxurious dressing room and could equally make an excellent home office. The bedrooms enjoy lovely rural views overlooking the glorious rolling countryside. The family bathroom is equipped with both a bath and separate shower unit. The principal bedroom benefits further from an en-suite shower room. Externally, a large paved driveway provides off-street parking for 5 cars in addition to the timber built double carport housing a further 2 cars. Adjoining the garaging is a storeroom/workshop and the entire building has power and lighting. Steps lead up to a delightful mature front garden setting the house away from the lane, whilst the principal garden is arranged to the western and rear aspect enjoying a good degree of sunshine all year round. The garden has been landscaped into various areas including a wonderful secluded patio terrace at the rear, a further sun terrace adjoining the good-sized lawn and timber/plastic sheds. External lighting has been placed around the garden creating a lovely ambience.

SITUATION Ford is a picturesque village within a valley setting surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside and a little brook meandering through the heart. The village has a popular pub The White Hart Inn which is just a short walk from the property. The village is an excellent location for countryside walking routes including the Macmillan Way and a stunning route to Castle Combe, the famous Cotswolds destination famed for its unspoilt quintessential streets and has a Michelin star restaurant and golf club in addition to other cafés and pubs. Ford is located approximately 4 miles from the market towns of Chippenham and Corsham which have an excellent range of facilities and school options. Chippenham also has a mainline train station to Paddington (under 70 minutes). The larger villages of Biddestone and Yatton Keynell are some 2 miles away offering superb amenities between them including a popular primary school, two pubs, a post office/store, doctors surgery, and sport clubs including tennis and cricket. Both Bristol and the Georgian heritage city of Bath are accessible within 30 minutes.
