Charming listed cottage in Box Market Place, chain free and well presented..
Grade II listed cottage in central Box, sold chain free
A charming Grade II listed limestone cottage in the heart of Box, offered with no onward chain. The house has traditional Georgian sash windows, a compact open-plan ground floor and a well-kept rear garden with established shrubs and storage in the old outdoor privy. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style units and built-in appliances; the property is heated by a mains gas central heating system and presents well throughout.
The layout is efficient: a reception/dining space flows to a modernised kitchen, while two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation. At about 710 sq ft the rooms are modest but comfortable, and original period features give the home character suited to someone who values village living and heritage architecture.
Important practical points are made clear: the house is Grade II listed and lies within a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and may complicate works or extensions. The plot and frontage are small, internal space is limited, and parking is in the nearby Market Place car park rather than immediately outside the door. These factors suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, characterful village home rather than those needing large gardens or extensive modernisation.
This cottage will appeal to first-time buyers or couples wanting a central village location with excellent local amenities and fast road/rail connections to Bath, Bristol and London. It offers immediate occupancy with no chain, good broadband and very low local crime, while buyers should be prepared for listed-building constraints when planning changes.
