Blue Vein, Box, Corsham, Wiltshire, SN13

Dating back to at least the 1820s, this delightful Grade II listed property has a rich history as the Keepers Cottage of adjacent Hatt House. Located within a small hamlet of just six homes, but completely private, it is set high above the village of Box. This beautiful, detached property is laid out over two floors featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/diner, and a utility room, the interior offers flexible living. Outside, the largely laid to lawn gardens are enclosed by mature woodland. The current owners have lived here for eight happy years and say, 'for many years, Keepers Cottage was derelict until the council informed the previous owners of Hatt House to demolish or rebuild it as it was a potential hazard. Thankfully, they chose to rebuild it.' Approached via old stone gateposts leading to the long, winding drive beneath a canopy of enchanting, mature beech trees, the eye falls on the beautiful Cotswold stone cottage, a truly enchanting sight and setting. 'It has taken our breath away every day that we�ve lived here.' The house is secluded and private, surrounded by fields and hilly vistas beyond, and the area is teeming with wildlife, from garden birds, pheasants, and jackdaws to bats, deer, and owls. 'We love being surrounded by nature; it feels as though we are miles from civilisation, when in fact it�s only a fifteen-minute drive to the centre of Bath.� Closely linked to Box, a vibrant village with good amenities, including a primary school, the historic market town of Corsham is easy to access, while Chippenham is just a short distance further to the east. With the M4 motorway and fast rail services to London Paddington from both Bath and Chippenham this is a rural retreat with plenty of modern convenience. �Box Park has tennis courts, a children's playground and playing fields and Corsham a leisure centre with a great gym. With Bath being so close, it�s easy to get a culture, culinary or nightlife fix.� �Wonderful hikes can be accessed without having to get in the car.� �Period features such as stone walls, an old stone staircase and mullion windows make the property both elegant and charming.� �Having two separate sides of the house has meant our teenage daughter has had her privacy and so have we.� �We have kept the beautiful garden simple to accentuate the trees and open fields, which means it requires very little maintenance.� Additional Information: Please see Key Facts For Buyers on video link/media tab.
