This Grade II listed mid-18th century detached cottage sits in central Chippenham and offers genuine period character with practical family accommodation. The house provides a sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, ground-floor shower room and three first-floor bedrooms with a family bathroom — a layout suited to everyday family life or those seeking a character home close to town amenities.
Outside, established gardens surround the property and provide privacy as shrubs mature. Practical parking is provided by a tandem gravel driveway for two cars plus a single garage. An externally accessed store/office adds flexible space for a home study or utility use. The property is offered with no onward chain, allowing a quicker move for buyers who are ready.
Buyers should note the listed status: Grade II listing preserves historic fabric but will limit alterations and may require specialist consent and materials for repairs. Some elements are dated — double glazing appears to pre-date 2002 and the property retains older heating features (including a gas fire with back boiler) — so budget for modernisation, servicing or sympathetic upgrading where needed. Council Tax band E is above average for running costs.
Overall this is a well-loved period cottage in a central location that will suit families wanting character and proximity to local schools and amenities, or buyers seeking a town-based, long-term home with renovation potential. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, layout and character, and to assess any listed-property considerations.
