This charming Grade II listed two-bedroom terraced cottage sits in the sought-after village of Seend and is offered chain free. Presented with character features and a generous main reception room with a woodburner, the house delivers immediate, comfortable living for a buyer seeking village life without extensive grounds to maintain. The rear patio garden is low-maintenance and private, ideal for outdoor dining and easy upkeep.
Internally the layout is practical: a large reception leading to a snug, fitted kitchen with adjacent bathroom, useful boot room and two first-floor bedrooms (one double, one single). At around 640 sq ft the home feels compact but well balanced for its size. Practical benefits include double glazing (install date unknown), mains services and an affordable council tax band.
Important constraints to note: the property’s Grade II listing and conservation area location mean alterations will be restricted and may require listed-building consent. There is a right of access for neighbouring properties across the rear garden. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators — oil can be more expensive and requires regular delivery and storage. The cottage’s stone walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect running costs and comfort unless improved within listing restrictions.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or small household wanting a characterful, low-upkeep village cottage with immediate occupancy and scope to personalise where permitted. If you need generous outdoor space, substantial extension potential, or unrestricted remodelling, this cottage’s historic status and modest plot size are limiting factors.
