Nestled in a beautiful pocket of open countryside, this timber-framed three-bedroom home designed by Bristol-based practice, Batterham Smith Architects lies in the Wiltshire village of Upper Seagry at the edge of The Cotswolds AONB. The living space has been cleverly apportioned to retain the impressive double-height volume across the upper storey and well-orientated to optimise the views across the open countryside. The house unfolds over 1,973 sq ft across two levels, with a southeast-facing terrace and private off-street parking. Despite its rural location, Bristol and Bath can be reached in around 30 minutes. London is easily accessible via Chippenham (six miles away), with direct services to London Paddington in about 75 minutes.
