Cotswold stone cottage with extended modern kitchen-diner and bi-fold doors
A handsome Cotswold stone and red-brick semi-detached cottage set in peaceful Wiltshire countryside, extended and updated to create a comfortable family home. The heart of the house is an open-plan kitchen-diner with underfloor heating and bi-folding doors out to a raised deck — ideal for summer entertaining and enjoying the garden views. Two cosy reception rooms each have an AGA wood-burning stove, adding character and warmth on colder evenings.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single currently used as an office, all enjoying lovely rural views. The family bathroom includes a slipper bath positioned to look across open fields toward Malmesbury Abbey. Practical spaces include a utility room, generous ground-floor shower room, walk-in pantry and plentiful fitted storage.
Outside offers substantial parking for five-plus cars, a timber-clad double garage with EV provision, and separate outbuildings used as a gym/studio and workshop. The plot feels large but low-maintenance, with a productive kitchen garden and greenhouse that will appeal to those who like grow-your-own.
Important negatives to note: the main heating is electric storage heaters and the property’s stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may mean higher running costs and future insulation work. As a property constructed before 1900, ongoing maintenance typical of older cottages should be expected. Council tax is moderate.
