4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Corsham

5 4 2

Set within the picturesque hamlet of Ashley, part of the highly sought-after Parish of Box and just 6.5 miles from the historic city of Bath, this elegant and spacious period property offers a rare blend of historic charm, flexible living, and exceptional development potential. Ashley Green spans approximately 2,498 sq ft and sits in a beautifully landscaped plot of around three-quarters of an acre, with additional paddock and woodland space, providing a wonderful lifestyle opportunity for families, gardeners, and nature lovers alike.

What sets this home apart is the outstanding potential to create a self-contained annex (Original consent granted for a 2 storey, 2 bedroom bedroom, plus ensuite), making it an ideal choice for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or even a holiday let or studio. On the ground floor, a dedicated section of the property currently comprises a large, well-equipped utility room, a gym with French doors opening onto the garden, and an adjacent storeroom. With the simple installation of a dividing wall, plus plumbing and fittings, this space is well-positioned to be transformed into a fully functional annex with its own entrance, kitchen, living area, and bathroom. Its garden access, privacy from the main home, and generous proportions make it especially appealing for those looking to accommodate elderly relatives, adult children, or generate supplementary income.

The rest of the home is equally impressive, with splendid views from every window. The heart of the house is a striking L-shaped kitchen, dining, and family room, which opens up to the gardens and offers ample space for relaxed living or entertaining on a larger scale. Original features, such as exposed beams, stonework, and timber-framed windows, blend seamlessly with tasteful modern upgrades to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The welcoming reception hall includes a cloakroom/WC and leads to the cosy sitting room, where an exposed stone chimney breast and open fireplace provide a perfect focal point for relaxing evenings. The flow of the downstairs layout has been designed to cater to both family life and entertaining, with multiple access points to the gardens and versatile spaces throughout.

Upstairs, the accommodation is equally generous. The master suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a large double bedroom, built-in wardrobes, and a private balcony with stunning views over the gardens and open countryside. The luxurious ensuite bathroom includes a roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. Two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a modern family shower room complete the upper floor, offering comfort and privacy for family and guests.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The formal gardens are beautifully landscaped, with manicured topiary, lawns, and flower borders wrapping around the house. A secluded south-facing patio provides a private and sunny spot for al fresco dining or evening drinks. To the side lies a re-wilded area that has been thoughtfully managed to encourage biodiversity, while a half-acre paddock and an extensive woodland area (providing a plentiful supply of logs for the wood burner and open fire) offers endless opportunities for recreation, hobby farming, equestrian pursuits, or children’s exploration.

A large garage-sized workshop/shed (with power and light) sits at the end of the driveway, offering storage for garden tools, outdoor equipment, or the potential for conversion to further ancillary use, subject to planning. The property is accessed via a gated driveway off the peaceful Ashley Common, providing a lovely approach and ample off-street parking.

Located in the vibrant village of Box, the property is within easy reach of everyday amenities, including an outstanding primary school, a GP surgery, and well-regarded pubs and eateries such as The Northey Arms, The Quarrymans Arms, and the Bengal Bear. The location combines the tranquility of country living with excellent connectivity—Bath is just 15 minutes by car, and London can be reached in under 70 minutes via nearby rail links. The property also benefits from proximity to Bristol Airport and direct bus routes.

A unique opportunity to enjoy the charm of a historic country home, in it's current thoughtful layout, with the rare flexibility to adapt, expand, and tailor the property to your needs.
