A perfect period project! A very realistically priced character home set at a very competitive price to reflect the fact that this is the first time 'White Hermitage' has been on the market for more than 50 years- and as such is now ready for some updating and modernising to a buyer's own tastes and demands. Offered with no onward chain, this cottage has an incredible garden that seems to go on forever.

Internally this charming Grade II Listed cottage retains a wealth of period features to include exposed wooden floorboards, wall timbering and ceiling beams. A 1970s 2 storey extension has transformed this once small quaint cottage into more of a practical family home. On the ground floor there is a 21ft dual aspect kitchen/dining rom with a stable door, a mixture of wooden and tiled flooring, an electric cooker with LPG hobs and a range of fitted units with worktops over. Also on the ground floor is a cosy sitting room with exposed wooden floorboards and a log burning stove. Stairs rise to the first floor and a good sized landing with doors off to the 3 bedrooms (two doubles and 1 single), two bedrooms featuring fitted cupboards/wardrobes. There is also a refitted wet room with a walk-in shower.

Outside there is a pedestrian side gate and newly laid resin pathway leading back around to the fabulous rear garden. The extensive garden has a patio with steps and slope up to a level lawn and pond (with double gates to the right hand side). From here the garden ascends on a gentle slope past a brick outbuilding with power, light and an outside tap (offering good potential for conversion), past a number of timber sheds (some needing work) right to the top to an old summerhouse and store (again needing work). There are a variety of trees including a twisted willow tree, a meddler, cox apple and magnolia tree.

Situation - Erlestoke is a small attractive village comprising mainly older style houses and cottages with some later additions nestling under the Westbury hills. It has a newly renovated public house called The George & Dragon serving excellent food, a church, a golf course and a popular cricket club with easy unrestricted public access to Erlestoke Woods (great bluebells in the spring) and the Wessex Path for wonderful dog walking and cycling. 'Holy Trinity' primary school in the neighbouring village of Great Cheverell has been voted in the top 1% in the country in recent years and there is another highly rated public house called 'The Three Daggers' and adjacent farm shop in the other neighbouring village of Edington. Excellent secondary schools are available at nearby Market Lavington and Dauntsey's In West Lavington. The village is within easy reach of the larger towns of Devizes, Westbury and Trowbridge. The major centres of Bath, Salisbury, Swindon, Marlborough and Chippenham are all within a 30 mile radius. Westbury has a mainline railway station with regular trains to London.
