Set well back in Cherhill on about one-third of an acre, this Grade II listed thatched cottage blends strong period character with practical living. Exposed beams, stonework, leaded windows and an impressive Inglenook fireplace create an authentic historic atmosphere across versatile living spaces and four bedrooms. A large double garage/workshop and gravel drive with parking for multiple vehicles add rare convenience for a village property.
Accommodation is flexible: two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, a ground-floor study/guest room with separate external access, and three double bedrooms upstairs served by a cloakroom. The main bedroom’s vaulted ceiling and far-reaching rural views are particular highlights. Central heating and a modern four-piece bathroom give everyday comfort amid the cottage’s original features.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing means any alterations will require consent and may be restricted. The thatched roof and historic fabric will need specialist maintenance and incur higher upkeep costs. Broadband speeds are noted as slow, and local council tax is relatively expensive. These factors suit buyers who value character and location and are prepared for listed-property ownership and its costs.
This home will appeal to families or countryside buyers seeking a distinctive, roomy village house with extensive outdoor space and a large workshop/garage. The setting close to the White Horse and surrounding Wiltshire countryside offers strong lifestyle appeal, while the property’s age and listed status require a measured, maintenance-aware purchaser.
