Wans North Cottage is a picture‑perfect thatched cottage set in a large, beautifully planted wrap‑around garden. The house blends original features — inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and quaint cottage windows — with a modern kitchen and a luxury four‑piece bathroom. A detached studio (built 2017) with bar and ensuite, plus a separate office/hobby room, add useful flexible accommodation for guests, home working or rental income.
The property suits a couple or downsizer who values outdoor space, character and village life: fruit trees, flowering borders and multiple sunny seating areas make the garden a standout. Driveway parking to the rear accommodates several vehicles and the location is within walking distance of a popular village pub and countryside walks, while Chippenham and mainline rail links are a short drive away.
Buyers should note material practicalities: broadband speeds are very slow, the original sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated, and council tax is above average. The cottage is not listed, but as a pre‑1900 thatched property it will likely demand sensitive maintenance and ongoing upkeep of traditional fabric.
Overall this is a charming, versatile cottage offering immediate move‑in comfort with scope for DIY or upgrades to improve thermal performance and connectivity. The detached studio and garden spaces increase lifetime flexibility — ideal for hobbyists, gardeners or buyers seeking a character home near commuter links.
