Detached house for sale in Swindon SN4, 6 Bedroom

Dorley House was custom built in 2011 by the previous owners to cater for a family living with their elderly disabled relatives and has been significantly improved by the current owners. The result is a magnificent detached family house spanning almost 3900sqft offering a completely self-contained two bedroom annexe, which could be easily combined with the main house to reinstate as one dwelling. This makes for an ideal property for anyone looking to perhaps buy with their parents or another family member or a private space for an aupair for instance.

Situated next door to the Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Football Club on the outskirts of this fantastic market town, the house has no other immediate neighbours and is surrounded by greenery as far as the eye can see. There is direct access from the garden on to the playing field of the rugby club and the owners have an agreement allowing them access through the gates on the other side meaning children can walk to the Royal Wootton Bassett academy without having to navigate busy roads.

The gravelled driveway to the front and side of the house provides parking for numerous cars as well as the garage and a double carport. Both dwellings share the main front door and from here there are separate, lockable, doors to both sides.

Head through the door on the right and you are into the entrance hall of the main house where there is a downstairs WC and a great size utility room with a sink and space for washing machine and tumble dryer. Carry on through the hall and you are welcomed by the grand kitchen dining room. The kitchen was replaced a few years ago with a modern gloss white with dark worktops and features an enormous central island which doubles up as a breakfast bar. There is space for a double full height fridge freezer, integrated double electric oven, microwave and integrated dishwasher and one of the two log burners in the house, to keep the room nice and toasty. A dining table seating 6-8 people will fit comfortably in front of the French doors opening on to the patio area beyond. The open conservatory provides a lovely and bright snug room to relax on a sofa and watch some TV or a play area for children.

With the current layout of the house, the main living room is on the first floor but when you come in to experience the exceptionally high ceiling and glorious views from the adjoining sun deck, you will be hard pushed not to fall in love with it. The room is a triple aspect and flooded with natural light with French doors leading out to the sun deck, and a lovely wood burner fitted into the fireplace. The high ceilings are replicated in all the main bedrooms upstairs which really gives the house a super sense of volume.

The master bedroom sits at the end of the 9.5m long landing and is a vast suite with a sumptuous ensuite shower room. The room itself measures almost 6.5m x 5.5m and in fact has ample space for a super kingsize bed, a sofa, gym equipment as well as a bank of fitted wardrobes. The ensuite shower room features two basins, a double width glass shower cubicle, WC and a heated towel rail.

Back onto the landing and there is a storage cupboard halfway down, which would serve as the access portal to the upstairs bedroom of the annexe and simply removing a stud partition wall would combine it with the rest of the main house. The current second bedroom is very much a kingsize room with a large built-in storage cupboard and bedroom three is also a very generous double size. The family bathroom is divine with a corner shower, a lovely bath, basin set into a vanity unit, WC, heated towel rail and skylight, all accentuated by the super high ceilings. The smallest bedroom is currently set up as a home office but this could also be a great nursery.

To label the annexe as such is possibly serving it an injustice as it is a very generous two bedroom home in its own right. As you enter from the main lobby, there is an entrance hall with a great storage cupboard and access to a large bathroom with corner jacuzzi bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, basin and heated towel rail. The master bedroom is at the front of the house and is, as with most other rooms, very generous in size with comfortable space for a super kingsize bed. A walk-in storage room serves as an excellent wardrobe with light and plenty of hanging and shelving space. Behind a stud partition wall there is a preserved access door to the garage should you wish to reinstate that.

The annexe kitchen was also replaced a few years ago and is fully fitted with plenty of cabinets and worktops, double oven and microwave, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge/freezer. French doors lead out on to a decked area ideal for enjoying al fresco dining.

Carry on to the rear portion of the annexe and the cosy living room opens up onto the conservatory creating a wonderfully bright dining room with views of the garden. A spiral staircase leads up to the second bedroom which has a Juliet balcony with great sunset views and also a storage cupboard, which would lead through to the main house if combined.

Outside, the rear gardens have been partitioned by a wooden fence to give privacy to each side, but this could be dismantled to open up the space again. The annexe has a couple of great patio areas, vegetable garden, as well as lawn and access via a gate onto the rugby grounds. A large gravelled area to the side and rear of the garage reduces the maintenance burden for anyone using the annexe and the oil storage tank is also nicely screened off. The double garage has an electric up and over door to the front, personnel door and window to the rear and is also home to the oil fired central heating system

The garden to the main house is magnificent with a generous lawn great for children or pets to run around and it even has a pit for a submerged trampoline for those with acrobatic tendencies. There are also three outbuildings with the timber lodge being the piece de resistance. This serves as a fantastic games/movie/play/relaxation/guest room with light, power and a lockable door. Another outbuilding is great for bike storage and the third is the man cave workshop, large enough for sit-on lawnmower can be kept. Behind the outbuildings are ideal spaces to store logs for the indoor burners.

Dorley House is situated in a semi-rural position just under a mile from the High Street of the charming market town of Royal Wootton Bassett. Families are drawn to the area by the Outstanding (rated by Ofsted) Royal Wootton Bassett Academy, which can be reached by crossing the rugby fields behind the house. The town does also offer a number of primary schools, day nurseries and shops as well as a leisure centre. Countryside walks are plentiful in this area and aa particular highlight being Jubilee Lake with it's playground and cafe, just around the corner. Commuters have access to the M4 at Jct 16 just over 2 miles away making it ideally suited for those needing to drive to Bristol, Reading or London. Mainline trains to London Paddington take around an hour from Swindon Station (6 miles)
