A beautifully presented extended four bedroom period semi-detached house with a newly built detached two bedroom annexe, set in approx. 5.2 acres of pasture paddocks with outbuildings and frontage to the Seend Brook.
Baldham Cottage is believed to date from around 1900 and the substantial two storey rear extension was completed in 2024. The brand new detached annexe is in the final stages of being completed and it is ideal for extended families looking for two sets of self-contained living accommodation.
The property is used by the present owners as a family home and over the years they have lived there they have kept a variety of small livestock as well as their dogs. The property would be equally suitable for private equestrian use, and we are informed that the fishing rights on the Seend Brook come with the property (the Seend Brook supports a population of course fish).
The property is set within the curtilage of the village of Seend which has a shop and a number of nearby public houses including the very popular Barge at Seend, which is set on the Kennet & Avon Canal. More extensive shopping facilities are offered by Melksham and Trowbridge, whilst Chippenham has a mainline rail station and access onto the M4 motorway.
