A beautifully renovated Grade II listed thatched cottage set in a generous plot in the sought-after hamlet of Studley. The house blends period character — exposed thatch, sash-style windows and a roll-top bath — with modern comforts including a reworked kitchen/breakfast room, bi-fold doors to the garden and a useful summerhouse/home office. The layout works as a flexible three/four-bedroom family home with two bathrooms and versatile ground-floor space for a study or ground-floor bedroom.
Externally the property sits on approximately half an acre of predominantly lawned gardens with patio seating, a large oak-framed carport and separate outbuildings for storage. Off-street parking is private and generous, and the plot offers privacy and scope for landscaping or further outdoor use. Broadband speeds are fast and the location gives easy access to nearby towns (Chippenham, Calne) and commuter links including the M4 and mainline rail.
Important practical points are clear: the house is Grade II listed, which both protects its character and restricts alterations — any structural or aesthetic works will require listed-building consent. The thatched roof requires specialist maintenance and periodic renewal, and the property uses oil-fired central heating. Council Tax falls in Band F which reflects higher running costs. The property is offered chain free and presents a rare, characterful home for buyers prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities.
This house suits buyers seeking period charm, generous outdoor space and a quiet rural setting — particularly families or downsizers wanting adaptable accommodation and a home office. It will also appeal to those valuing character over a turnkey modern lifestyle, and who are comfortable with the long-term maintenance and regulatory commitments of a listed thatch cottage.
