Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Tucked away at the end of Avebury High Street, Harper Cottage offers a wealth of space throughout. The front door leads into the country-style kitchen/breakfast room with tiled floor, solid wood cupboards and worktops, painted stone walls and space for cooker, dishwasher and fridge, and there is a useful built in cupboard and space for a breakfast table. The kitchen is adjoined by two hallways, one to leading to the lounge with a large understairs cupboards and a side door entrance with porch, and the other to the dining room and further living accommodation.
You will be charmed by the lounge; this is the original part of the house and has an abundance of exposed beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace that houses the wood burning stove with a fabulous mantle beam that holds a lifetime of historic carvings. The lounge is very bright with a large window overlooking the garden. Leading straight through to the dining room, the end wall of the lounge has been opened giving a real feeling of space to the two rooms. The dining room again has fabulous exposed beams, exposed stone wall and a large bay window seating area with glass roof from which you enjoy views of the garden. At the end of the hall is the lovely family room/snug which has double doors leading out to the garden and has an open fire making this the perfect room throughout the year. Downstairs there is a utility room with a door to the garden and also a downstairs shower room.
Upstairs from the principal staircase you will find three double bedrooms. The main bedroom is dual aspect and is at the rear of the house so enjoys the garden views and to the side. This bedroom has a built-in double wardrobe and a large built in cupboard, and an ensuite shower room which has been replaced this year with a new modern suite and tiles. Two further double bedrooms both with built-in wardrobes and the family bathroom with bath and shower over are accessed from the landing. There is another double bedroom at the front of the house which is accessed from the front staircase or through one of the bedrooms.
The part walled south facing rear garden is very private and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy those summer days. The garden wraps around the house down the side and to the rear, and has a selection of mature trees, shrubs and hedging and stocked flower beds providing a wealth of beautiful colour throughout the seasons. There is a patio terrace and large lawned areas, and at the end of the garden is a large brick built studio which has power and lighting which would make a wonderful garden office, and a large wood store at the side. A new oil tank was installed in March 2023.
A huge benefit of Harper Cottage is the single garage at the side of the house with a parking space at the front.
