Description
Fosse Farm Cottage occupies a glorious rural setting near the villages of Castle Combe and Nettleton. Set within 0.80 acres, the property offers the perfect lifestyle opportunity for those that love the outdoors and seek the 'good life'. The cottage was built in the 1960s and is accompanied by wonderful well-tended gardens plus a level paddock.
The cottage is a cosy and comfortable home with the accommodation arranged over two floors extending to 1,179 sq.ft. The ground floor layout includes a delightful kitchen/breakfast room with a solid-fuel Aga and a dual-aspect living room with wood-burning stove. Off the kitchen there is a useful utility room and WC. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a modern fitted bathroom. Far-reaching countryside views can be enjoyed from every outlook. Outside, a large detached double garage has the addition of a very versatile hobbies room over which lends itself to a potential annexe. The cottage also has scope for evolving, subject to planning.
The property is set behind walling, well-kept hedging and a five-bar gate creating a good degree of security and privacy. The gardens surround the cottage with lawns to both the front and rear. The rear garden features Cotswold stone terraces and a pretty pond. There is a stable block (353 sq.ft.) comprising two boxes and a further garage/store with power and water connected. The paddock spans beyond and extends to over 0.50 acre.
