Grade II listed; alterations require listed-building consent
This Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage blends historic character with recent sympathetic renovation. Original features such as exposed stonework, beams and a timber-framed conservatory sit alongside a modern kitchen/breakfast room, utility and study — suitable for family life and home working. The house offers four reception rooms, two bathrooms, generous room sizes across 2,405 sq ft and useful internal access to a garage.
Outside, a large, landscaped cottage-style garden with specimen trees, a converted summerhouse (with wood-burning stove) and a patio creates private outdoor space for children and entertaining. Driveway parking and a garage provide ample vehicle space; the property sits close to village amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and has straightforward access to Swindon and the M4 for commuters.
Important practical notes: Grade II listed status means alterations will require listed-building consent and may restrict extensions or major changes. Ceilings are characterfully low in parts of the house, and council tax is in a higher band. The house is chain free and newly renovated, but any further modernization or structural changes must follow listing regulations.
This home will suit a family seeking a characterful, spacious house in a village location with countryside access, or buyers prioritising period charm combined with modern convenience. Viewings will be most valuable for those comfortable with listed-building ownership and the associated restrictions.
