Full Description: Nestled within the well-regarded village of Bratton, Southay House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and characterful detached home, set within a generous and beautifully established plot. <br /><br />Built in 1976 as part of a small, thoughtfully designed development, the property has been extensively enhanced over the years to create a substantial and versatile residence, ideally suited to modern family living while retaining individuality and charm. Having been cherished by the owner for over 30 years, the house has evolved through a series of carefully considered extensions. A conservatory and linkway, added in 1997, connect the main house to the garage, while further rear and side extensions completed in 2000 and 2001 have significantly increased the living space. These additions maximise natural light and make the most of far-reaching countryside views, resulting in a home that feels open and inviting. <br /><br />The owner reflects, ‘The size of the property allowed us to extend without compromising the garden, while bringing in light and making the most of the wonderful views.’ Arranged over three floors, with the added benefit of a cellar, the accommodation offers a flexible and well-proportioned layout. The house offers multiple reception areas with both sociable and more private spaces, while bedrooms enjoy elevated outlooks, some with balconies taking advantage of the surrounding scenery. ‘There is much space for entertaining and plenty of room for people to circulate as much of the space is open plan.’ <br /><br />The extensive garden has been developed into distinct areas, offering interest and colour throughout the seasons. A large pond, rich with wildlife, forms a tranquil focal point, complemented by a raised seating platform – an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. <br /><br />The owner notes, ‘The garden is a real sanctuary, offering both peace and privacy.’ The setting is both idyllic and practical. ‘Bratton is a thriving community, offering amenities including a primary school, shop, post office, pub and village facilities, alongside numerous clubs and activities.’ Surrounded by open countryside, the area is ideal for walking and cycling, while nearby Westbury provides a mainline rail service with convenient links to London.<br /><br />‘It is a quiet and supportive community, with many long-standing residents.’<br /><br />‘The views from both the house and garden across to the fields and across to the hills are a sheer pleasure, always changing beautifully with the seasons.’<br /><br />‘The combination of space, privacy and setting makes this a truly special home.’<br /><br />Additional Information:<br />Please see Key Facts For Buyers on video link/media tab.<br /><br />The comments provided herein represent the personal views of the current owner and are intended solely as an insight into life at the property.
