Tallat (Waterlane) Cottage is a large, stone-built detached home set at the end of a no-through track in Purton Stoke. The house offers four bedrooms, four reception rooms and a full-height oak-framed garden room that fills the rear with light and panoramic views over the private, south/west-facing gardens. Off-street gravel parking and a substantial garage/workshop add useful storage and hobby space.
The plot is a definite strength: large, easily managed lawns, an orchard, flower borders, a breeze hut and an infant stream at the bottom of the garden create private countryside character and scope for outdoor living. Internally the layout suits family life — reception rooms for formal and informal living, a kitchen/breakfast room and a principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite.
Important practical points: the house is historic (pre-1900) with stone walls that are assumed uninsulated; double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Heating is mains-gas boiler and radiators. There is a medium flood risk for the location and council tax is noted as quite expensive. The local area is an ageing rural neighbourhood with limited amenities immediately on hand, though Purton and nearby centres cover everyday needs and major road and rail links (M4 J16, Swindon station) are within reasonable distance.
This will appeal to buyers wanting a character country home with generous outside space and outbuildings, and to those prepared to invest in thermal upgrades or cosmetic modernisation. The property offers privacy, excellent outdoor potential and convenient access to larger towns, but consider long-term running costs and the property's exposure to flood risk and insulation shortcomings before viewing.
