Located on one of Devizes's most sought-after road, this is a stunning family house, impeccably presented and offering over 4000 square feet of accommodation.
Description
Private, secluded and beautifully finished throughout, Secret Valley offers outstanding accommodation in one of the town’s most prestigious roads.
Secret Valley is an exceptional five-bedroom detached home, privately positioned at the end of a no-through road and set within more than three acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. Immaculately presented, the owners have painstakingly renovated and extended the property to create a superb family home, with flexible accommodation throughout to cater for all needs.
Designed for both sophisticated entertaining and relaxed family living, the house offers generous, light-filled reception spaces, including an elegant sitting room with open fireplace and a stunning L-shaped dual-aspect living area opening onto the formal lawns. The stylish kitchen features a large central island, bar area, and direct access to the east-facing terrace, all set on French limestone flooring with underfloor heating.
Upstairs, there is a great feeling of space with all bedrooms located off the generous landing. The principal bedroom is of epic proportions and enjoys superb natural light, a private balcony, dressing area and a luxury ensuite. The dressing room could be converted back into a bedroom, should there be the need for another room on this floor. Three further bedrooms (one with an ensuite shower room) and the immaculate family bathroom complete the first floor.
A separate external guest suite offers incredibly flexible extra accommodation. It provides excellent privacy for visitors or extended family and also offers the ideal spot for a home office.
Outside
The property is approached through double gates that open onto a generous private driveway, offering ample parking in addition to the double carport.
The grounds at Secret Valley have been meticulously maintained, creating a peaceful and mature green setting that wraps around the house. With terraces to the south and east, there is no shortage of options when it comes to outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining. The formal gardens are beautifully arranged, with immaculate lawns and a range of trees and shrubs.
A traditional five-bar gate opens into a woodland area, with a winding path leading down to a level, enclosed paddock complete with a natural pond and detached outbuilding/annexe. This versatile building features a fitted kitchenette, shower room and a reception area laid with flagstone flooring, offering potential as a studio, office, or guest accommodation. To the rear, a substantial machinery and vehicle store with an electric up and over door provides excellent garden storage.

The next steps...

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
