6 bedroom detached house

Reference; SW0341

Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, this exceptional detached period residence, together with a charming two bedroom self-contained cottage/annex, sits within approximately six acres of private grounds including formal gardens and open paddocks. Located in the hamlet of Baldham on the outskirts of Seend, the property enjoys a semi-rural setting while offering easy access to several nearby market towns and the historic city of Bath.

The principal property offers generous and versatile accommodation and features a welcoming entrance lobby that leads into a stunning, triple-aspect kitchen/dining room with integrated appliances, a spacious seating area, and bi-fold doors opening to a sunny terrace. There’s also a cosy sitting room with exposed beams, flagstone flooring, and an open fireplace, as well as a family/games room with an exposed fireplace and a secondary staircase leading to the first floor. Two ground-floor bedrooms—one with an en-suite—and a separate shower room complete the ground floor accommodation. This area offers flexible use and could easily be reconfigured into a study or additional reception space if desired. The main staircase is accessed from the kitchen and leads to the first floor where there are four bedrooms, three of which benefit from en-suite facilities. The mature private gardens surrounding the house are bordered by a stream and include terraced seating areas, a gravelled driveway with gated access, and ample parking for multiple vehicles. This property has been used by the current owner as a successful group stay holiday let.

Set within its own private grounds, the detached two-bedroom cottage/annex offers further flexibility for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, two ground-floor bedrooms, and a shower room. Upstairs, a bright and spacious open-plan reception room with a wood burner and floor-to-ceiling window enjoys garden views, while a well-equipped kitchen/dining room completes the layout. Subject to the necessary consents, the cottage offers potential for extension.

The total land extends to approximately six acres and includes a combination of well-maintained formal gardens, open paddocks ideal for grazing, and extensive off-road parking.

This unique and beautifully presented property offers the perfect balance of rural charm and modern flexibility, whether you're looking for a family home, an income-generating venture, or multi-generational living. An internal viewing is highly recommended.
