Orchard Lodge, Hook, Swindon, SN4 8EG

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A TRULY SUBSTANTIAL, HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL AND SUPERBLY LOCATED PROPERTY EXTENDING TO C.5250 SQFT OCCUPYING A PLOT OF AROUND 0.85 OF AN ACRE.

Positioned on a good size plot and with an open aspect to the rear over fields, this property offers vast, flexible living space arranged over two floors and would make a magnificent family home, part of which could easily be adapted to provide space to run a business from, or a self-contained annexe.

The house is accessed from a main reception hall leading to a sizeable, refitted kitchen and in turn on to a utility and laundry room. The hall also leads to a large living room opening on to an imposing, substantial conservatory/sun-room with slate flooring, air conditioning and bifold doors leading to the rear gardens with three further large reception rooms. The remainder of the ground floor accommodation boasts a gym and swimming pool. To the first floor, leading from the galleried landing are 5 generous bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms.

The plot itself is another particular feature with the front of the property accessed via double wooden 5 bar gates providing block paved parking for multiple vehicles (c.15 cars) along with a double garage which is currently used as storage. To the rear is a large mature garden which is predominantly laid to lawn incorporating a paved patio area with wooden pergola plus a second paved patio area for seating. Beyond the perimeters of the garden is farmland giving this property a real semi rural feel and offering a good degree of privacy. There could also be further development potential (subject to the relevant planning permission).

Conveniently located between two highly desirable market towns and a stones throw from Lydiard Park, a 230 acre country park this home is in an enviable location.

The Saxon town of Cricklade lies some 7 miles to the North and is the Southern gateway to the Cotswolds, this area is well known for being an excellent base for walkers and visitors.

Royal Wootton Bassett to the south is a thriving and hugely popular town with excellent primary and secondary schooling options plus a number of other amenities, pubs and independent shops.

Slightly further afield, Swindon, with its large range of amenities is easy reached within 10 minutes by car and London Paddington is within the hour via train from its mainline station.

This area is well served by excellent road links with the M4 junction 16 less than 2 miles away.
