Characterful three-bedroom cottage with large garden and powered summerhouse.
Three bedrooms, two bathrooms including downstairs shower room
Anvil Cottage is a characterful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage set on The Green in highly sought-after Urchfont. The house combines traditional period features — exposed brick, a feature fireplace and terracotta parquet-style flooring — with a rear extension creating a light kitchen-dining space and downstairs shower room. A substantial rear garden provides a blank canvas for landscaping and outdoor living, and a powered summerhouse/home office adds practical workspace.
This home will suit a family or anyone seeking village life; two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom upstairs give flexible accommodation. Practical points: the property is oil-fired with radiators, has double glazing installed post-2002, and sits in a conservation area. A small section of the neighbouring property extends above the ground-floor shower room (a long-standing flying freehold) — noted but reported as having no known issues.
Buyers should be aware this is a period property requiring some updating and garden maintenance. The cottage is solid-brick construction with no assumed modern wall insulation and some areas appear dated and in need of modernisation. These factors create opportunity for improvement and value enhancement, particularly for buyers willing to invest in sympathetic upgrades.
Located within easy reach of local amenities — primary school, shop with post office, pub and village events — and about five miles from Devizes, the cottage offers a rare chance to own a character home in a very affluent, low-crime village setting with good commuter links to Bath, Salisbury and Swindon.
