Freds Cottage is a charming two-bedroom detached home in a peaceful hamlet just outside Pewsey. The cosy sitting room, complete with a feature fireplace, and the attractive fitted kitchen/dining room give the house immediate warmth and period appeal. The master bedroom is bright and characterful; a generous second bedroom offers flexible space for guests or a home office.
The property sits on a small, wrap‑around garden with driveway parking — an uncommon convenience for a rural period home. It’s freehold and offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for buyers wanting to move quickly into a characterful village dwelling with easy access to local amenities and the Pewsey rail link.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the house is traditionally built (solid brick, pre-1900) and likely lacks modern wall insulation. Heating is by oil and room heaters, the EPC is rated E, and thatched roofs require ongoing maintenance and specialist insurance. Internal head heights in parts (notably the kitchen) are lower than modern builds. Council tax is band E (above average).
This property will suit purchasers looking for a period home with personality and a manageable garden, and those prepared to invest in energy and insulation improvements. Its location and character also make it a good choice for buyers seeking a countryside base with straightforward commuter links to larger towns and London.
