Summary - Black Horse House, The Street, East Knoyle SP3 6AL
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious character cottage with large garden and parking, ideal for family life in the countryside.
Three double bedrooms plus study/occasional fourth bedroom potential
Set on a generous plot in a picturesque village within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this semi-detached 18th-century cottage offers period charm with flexible family living. The house provides three double bedrooms (plus a versatile study/bedroom), three to four reception rooms and an expansive L-shaped kitchen/family/dining area that will suit modern family routines. A bright conservatory and cosy sitting room with an inglenook and wood burner add character and seasonal comfort.
Outside, the property benefits from substantial off-street parking—space for a motorhome or caravan—and a large, enclosed rear garden with private seating areas and a sunny aspect. Practical additions include a utility room, ground-floor shower room and integrated appliances in the kitchen, making everyday life straightforward for a growing household.
Important practical points: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators and the walls are original granite/whinstone with no assumed cavity insulation, which contributes to the Energy Performance Rating D. Some rooms have low to average ceiling heights consistent with the cottage character. These factors mean there is scope for energy-efficiency improvements and potential updating, particularly for buyers wanting lower running costs or to modernise finishes.
This is a village-centre home close to local amenities and good primary and secondary schools, suited to families seeking space, character and countryside living. It will particularly appeal to buyers who value historic features but are prepared to invest in targeted upgrades to improve comfort and efficiency.
