OWNERS COMMENTS "We bought Prestbury cottage in 2009 to acquire one of the iconic properties in the village. The cottage already had bags of character, huge potential and a great plot to design a new garden.
Over the years we have completely renovated the entire house including rewiring, plumbing, central heating, modern windows and doors, new kitchen and appliances, new bathrooms, installing a bespoke oak staircase, restoring original features such as fireplaces (complete with two log burners) and bespoke window shutters and panelling. We have extended twice, once to provide a two storey extension with a new master suite (with en-suite) and a new open plan kitchen including an Aga, and a second two storey extension to the side of the house for a new living room and home office.
Outside we have built a new double garage with extensive storage space, landscaped the front garden, main drive, and rear gardens, rebuilt the front wall, path and railings in keeping with the original Victorian cottage.
We have lived in the village for more than 20 years, and our children were taught at the local village school. There is a new community shop and café, village hall and two village pubs, both within walking distance. The village is very well connected with easy access to the A419 and to the Swindon cycle path network.
We are now looking to downsize and relocate due to changing jobs and children leaving home."
