This former quarryman’s cottage, formed around 1840 and extensively upgraded, combines authentic period character with contemporary living. Exposed stone walls, beams, stone mullions and a multi‑fuel stove create a warm, characterful reception space, while engineered oak floors and high‑quality joinery give a clean, modern finish throughout. The open-plan kitchen/dining with bi-fold doors and a raised balcony expands the living space and connects easily to the landscaped, low‑maintenance garden — ideal for relaxed indoor/outdoor days.
Practical comforts include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), an EPC rating of C, council tax band D and off‑road parking for several vehicles plus a large timber‑clad detached garage with an inspection pit and electric sectional door. The layout offers two double bedrooms, a walk‑in wardrobe, a tiled family bathroom and a stylish en‑suite wet room in the principal bedroom — a setup well suited to a small family, downsizer or professional couple who value character and convenience.
Notable positives are the peaceful Box Hill Common setting within the Cotswolds AONB, excellent local amenities in nearby Box village, easy road links to the M4 and rail access from Chippenham, and very low local crime. Buyers should note the property’s broadband speeds are reported slow — important if you work from home — and the cottage footprint remains modest despite the substantial improvements; space is cosy rather than expansive. The house is presented in very good decorative order but, as with older properties, there may be maintenance considerations tied to period fabric and exposed stonework.
Overall, this property will suit purchasers looking for a characterful, well‑finished country home with generous parking and garage facilities, easy access to countryside walks, and comfortable modern living rather than a large, contemporary new build.
