Set in an elevated and private position within walking distance of Chippenham town centre, Lowden Lodge is an imposing, six-bedroom Victorian home full of charm and character with ample accommodation inside and out. Benefitting from a generous plot approaching 0.25 of an acre and complete with off street parking for multiple vehicles, Lowden Lodge also has approved planning permission to create a large kitchen-diner / family room to the rear.

As you approach the property via a private road, you are greeted by a gravel driveway which provides plenty of parking for several vehicles, as well as a large Crane shed for external storage and a footpath which gives access to the front aspect and entrance to the property. As you enter through the front door into porch area, a second door leads into a spacious central hallway which provides access to the ground floor accommodation as well as the staircase to the first floor. Complete with original parquet flooring, tall ceilings and Victorian features throughout, the entrance feels modern and homely whilst retaining period charm and character. Accessed from the hallway and overlooking the front garden are two reception rooms. The formal sitting room, measuring 18’9” x 16’9”, has been updated by the current owners and provides a cosy retreat during an evening and winter months. Further benefits include a feature fireplace with open fire, and original bay sash window (refurbished throughout in 2018). The second reception room, also overlooking the front aspect, is currently used as a study and would make an ideal work from home office / playroom. Moving to the rear of the property is the kitchen-diner which truly is the heart of the home. Currently measuring 22’7” x 15’11”, there is approved planning permission to extend this space further to create a superb open plan living area. The modern kitchen comprises of fully fitted wall and base units with granite work tops, pantry, and a host of integrated appliances including fridge freezer, dishwasher and space for an electric Rangemaster oven. A dining area with engineered oak flooring provides ample space for a formal dining table with views and access to the rear garden and patio area via French doors. A useful utility / boot room with access from the kitchen and garden provides further space for white goods, whilst a ground floor WC accessed from the hallway completes the ground floor.

Stairs to the first-floor lead to an inviting central landing which in turn leads to three double bedrooms. The master bedroom offers generous proportions, with built in wardrobes and bay window, and has the added benefit of a recently updated ensuite shower-room. Bedroom two and bedroom three also benefit from built in storage and views over the rear garden. To complete the first floor is the family bathroom which truly has the wow-factor. Updated by the current owners, the family bathroom offers tremendous floor space with the inclusion of a walk-in shower and large freestanding bath.

After ascending the staircase to the second floor, you will find a further three double bedrooms and a second family shower-room. With an internal floor space in excess of 2,900 sq.ft, accommodation on this level is very flexible to suit a range of needs. There is scope for the floor to be used for guests, children, further work from home studies, and even a cinema room.

Externally, Lowden Lodge sits on a c. 0.25 acre plot within close proximity of Chippenham's local amenities. The rear garden has been mostly laid to lawn with the addition of several seating and decked areas to catch the sun throughout the day, as well as a mature pond with working pump. A mixture of well-established plants and foliage provide a sense of privacy from neighbouring properties, whilst a large purpose-built Crane shed and stone outbuildings provide ample storage. The original front garden is relatively low maintenance and allows pedestrian access to Lowden Hill which is just a short walk to Chippenham Railway Station.

The bustling town of Chippenham has become an incredibly popular destination in which to live and work. There are great schools, lovely parks and green spaces, well-stocked supermarkets and well-equipped sporting facilities to enjoy, with the many cafes, shops, pubs and restaurants in the town centre all positioned just a few moments away. The all-important train station is also a fairly level journey away from the property, stopping at key stations inclusive of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, London, and many more. Chippenham is also an excellent spot for those who require easy access onto the M4. The historic city of Bath is just 15 minutes or so away via the use of the 'fast train', and the area is blessed with historic villages and wonderful countryside places to explore.
