Description

This truly delightful period cottage is beautifully presented and despite its discreet façade, offers deceptively sizeable character accommodation. Situated in the conservation area, the original stone built cottage was superbly extended in 2004 with the addition of a two storey extension at the rear and a 23' kitchen/family room. The cottage has been tastefully decorated both internally and externally, whilst a stylish bathroom has been refitted as well as timber flooring and the addition of a wood burning stove in the living room. Also on the ground floor is a useful study and under stairs cloakroom whilst the family kitchen is open plan to a newly upgraded conservatory leading out to the garden. The kitchen boasts an integrated fridge, freezer, oven and induction hob. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a new bathroom whilst a drop down ladder from the second bedroom leads to useful attic with rooflight providing natural light which has been converted into an occasional office or is ideal for storage. To the rear is a well tended 70' garden with patio, lawns, flower beds and sun terrace at the far end so that all day sunshine can be enjoyed. There is ample unrestricted on street parking outside.

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.
