Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Will consider UK swaps for school holidays in 2022.

Hello! I'm Hayley and my husband is Leyton and we have a 17 year old boy and 15 year old girl. We are interested in swapping in the UK only during school holidays.

We live in a clean and very well presented 4 bedroom house in Chippenham, Wiltshire, which is a small, peaceful town sandwiched between Swindon to the East and Bath to the West.

Master bedroom has a Superking bed and an en-suite shower room.

My son's room is a double size room with a single bed, a freeview TV, netflix, xbox and PS4. My daughter's room is a double size room with a single bed with TV and netflix. We have a family bathroom on this level, a study and a further bedroom with a king-size bed and TV with sky and netflix.

Downstairs comprises a lounge with HDTV, Netflix, Sky HD channels, downstairs cloakroom, further computer. The kitchen has a washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher, gas cooker, microwave, full size fridge/freezer.

The kitchen leads through to our dining room. Off the dining room is our gym. We have a weights bench, LifeFitness machines comprising running machine, cross trainer and bike. Outside, we have a large patio with tables and chairs, a nice enclosed garden at the rear with a double swing. We have Weber gas BBQ on the patio area. Our house is child friendly and is in a very quiet cul de sac. We are a 15 min walk to the town centre, and 15 minute walk to the train station. You get to Bath with a 10 minute train journey, Bristol in about 20 minutes on the train, and Swindon in the opposite direction in 15 minutes.
