Description

The Old Sweet Shop is a semi-detached period cottage which has been substantially extended in modern times creating a unique, versatile home. The cottage is set within the sought-after village of Sherston, just a moments walk to the High Street and an array of amenities. The street side only offers a glimpse of the property which offers deceptively spacious accommodation over three floors extending in all to 1,750 sq.ft. 

An entrance hall with porcelain tiles leads to the new addition of a superb kitchen/dining room with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors flowing out to the east-facing garden. Boasting dove grey units from Benchmarx Kitchens complete with Corian worktops, the kitchen is well-equipped with an integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, Everhot and further hob. Adjoining the kitchen, there is a flexible room currently utilised as a home office but equally can provide a fourth bedroom complete with en-suite wet room. Across the entrance hall, there are two reception rooms, the living room of which has a cosy wood-burning stove. A utility room is arranged to the rear with a downstairs WC. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms served by a shower room. The principal bedroom suite spans over the entire top floor comprising a bedroom, dressing area and bathroom.

The rear garden has been landscaped with a patio terrace and raised lawn bound by walling and timber fencing providing a secure area to enjoy. On street parking is easily available at the front.

Situation

The beautiful, ancient and much sought after village of Sherston with its broad High Street and historic stone houses is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty conveniently located on the edge of the Cotswolds. Sherston has a thriving community and offers many facilities, including a church, popular primary school, doctors surgery, Co-op shop and post office, coffee shops, hairdresser, Indian restaurant, garden centre and the highly regarded 16th century Rattlebone Inn, with its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The facilities and amenities in Sherston more than adequately provide for everyday need with a whole host of societies and clubs meeting on a regular basis offering entertainment and social events for young and old alike.

Schooling locally is second to none, with very good state and independent schools providing transport to and from the village on a daily basis. Close by are the market towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury which are both approximately 5 miles away. Malmesbury is reputed to be the oldest Borough in the country dating back to the 11th Century. Both towns offer a wider range of shops, services, schooling and leisure facilities. There are main line stations to London-Paddington at Kemble (14 miles) and Chippenham (12 miles) whilst Junctions 17 & 18 of the M4 are both within 15 minutes' drive providing convenient access to Bath, Bristol and Swindon.
