Pear Tree Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom detached house dating to around 1500, set in the heart of Box within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property was comprehensively refurbished around 30 years ago with sympathetic finishes — oak doors, quality joinery and conservation-approved works — and is presented in immaculate order throughout. Its well-proportioned reception rooms, high-quality kitchen and bathrooms and rustic beamed living room retain real period character alongside comfortable, family-sized accommodation across three floors.
The house sits on a very large plot with manicured gardens, mature planting and a long driveway leading to a triple garage/carport with a large office/space above that offers true annexe potential or home-working accommodation. There are three reception areas and ensuite facilities to key bedrooms, providing flexible family living and guest space. The location is central to Box village amenities, good local schools and attractive countryside walks, with Bath and Chippenham within easy reach.
Buyers should note practical considerations: broadband speeds in the area are slow, council tax is described as quite expensive, and as a historic property there may be conservation constraints on future external alterations. The main house underwent reroofing, replumbing and rewiring at the time of the previous renovation; prospective purchasers may still wish to survey services and confirm current condition given the age of the fabric.
Overall, this is a character-rich family home offering generous living space, significant outbuildings and clear potential for a self-contained annexe or home office. It will suit buyers seeking period charm with modern comforts in a peaceful, affluent village setting close to major road links and Bath.
