Full Details for 3 Bedroom Terraced for sale in Chippenham, SN14 :
The historic village of Marshfield lies in a glorious position at the southern end of the Cotswold Hills and 9 miles from central Bath and 17 miles from central Bristol. It is surrounded by a beautiful patchwork of farmland and woodland, and yet enjoys excellent road links, making it a very picturesque yet incredibly convenient place to live.In the heart of the village lies Bell Square Cottage, a very attractive period property that was purchased by the current owner just over eight years ago. The very first time I walked through the front door there was a really lovely homely feel, says the owner. Its so full of character, and although its a traditional cottage its incredibly spacious.One enters the property into a welcoming reception hall from which the spacious kitchen and living room flow. The kitchen is large enough to have a dining table and chairs, making it the ideal place for informal meals or cosy suppers with friends and family, and the spacious living room with its exposed beams and inglenook fireplace is a welcoming and comfortable feeling room. Ive had the cottage decorated to suit my taste, says Sarah, but everything that has been done complements the style of the property. I had the kitchen units hand painted and then I sourced some beautiful glass door knobs to give them a subtle contemporary twist. The rest of the property is something of a blank canvas, beautifully presented to suit any taste.This lovely cottage also benefits from a courtyard space, ideal for relaxing or alfresco entertaining. The owner says: I have a little table and chairs out there, and its nice to just sit out in the sun. Its a real suntrap and very peaceful. It also has access from the lane at the back, which has proved to be very useful.Marshfield is a wonderful place to live: there is everything you could need on a day-to-day basis and its perfect for all ages. Theres a very good nursery and a playgroup, and there are all sorts of activities for young and old. Id describe it as a place that ticks boxes for a huge range of people. Its also incredibly easy to get around, even without a car as there are regular bus services to places such as Bath.This has been a lovely house to own, concludes Sarah. If Ive had to go away Ive been able to lock it up and leave it without a worry, the garden is incredibly low maintenance and the house itself is gorgeous.
