This historically significant six-bedroom detached home, recognized by its Grade II Listing, is set on an expansive garden of nearly an acre in the heart of the picturesque village of Lacock. Dating back to 1778, The Red House features a distinctive red brick façade complemented by stone dressings and a classic clay tile roof, offering both character and charm. While the property retains many original period details such as beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces, and original flooring, it is in need of significant modernisation, presenting an exciting opportunity for potential buyers to transform it into their ideal family residence.
Upon entering, one is welcomed into a spacious reception area that flows seamlessly into a dining room with an attractive stone fireplace. The ground floor comprises several versatile reception spaces including a drawing room with dual aspects and a family room adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast area. Essential amenities include a large shower room on this level.
The first floor houses three substantial bedrooms and three bathrooms (including one en suite). The principal suite boasts generous proportions with its own dressing area. Additionally, one of the bedrooms serves as a self-contained unit complete with its own reception space and en suite facilities. The second floor further expands the living space with three more large bedrooms and additional storage options.
Outdoors, the expansive garden is a standout feature for any garden enthusiast or entertainer, equipped with a large patio area perfect for gatherings. Beyond lies a beautifully landscaped lawn bordered by mature flower beds and stone walls. A charming wooden bridge spans over a brook leading to additional meadow gardens that offer privacy from adjoining paddocks.
The property also benefits from useful outbuildings including a sizeable double garage and workshop along with other storage solutions.
Lacock itself is renowned not only for its charm but also for its community amenities including pubs, eateries, shops, and proximity to larger towns like Corsham and Chippenham which provide ample recreational opportunities. Excellent transport links are available nearby including access to the M4 motorway and direct train services to London Paddington.
