A beautifully presented Grade II listed thatched cottage in the heart of Wootton Rivers, offering three bedrooms across two floors and 1,241 sq ft of characterful accommodation. The ground floor feels warm and practical with a stylish Gaggenau kitchen/diner, underfloor heating, a utility room and a cosy sitting room centred on a woodburning stove. A private enclosed courtyard garden and off-street parking complete the village lifestyle.
The house has clear strengths for a buyer seeking rural charm with modern convenience: high-end kitchen appliances, underfloor heating on the ground floor and in the bathroom, and a useful cloakroom/utility with shower. The location in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty places the property close to countryside walks, a village pub and good local schools, while Marlborough and railway links are within reasonable driving distance.
There are important practical considerations. Listed status means repairs, alterations and some modernisation will be subject to restrictions and specialist costs. The property runs on electric and solid-fuel heating, the EPC is exempt, and broadband speeds are reported slow — relevant for home working. Rooms and ceilings are generally compact, and council tax is band E (above average).
Overall, this is a charming, low-traffic village cottage for buyers who prioritise character and setting over large rooms and high-speed connectivity. It will suit someone prepared to maintain a listed thatch and accept the compromises of period proportions in exchange for a beautifully kept historic home.
