Description
Doves Farm Cottage is a traditional thatch property with exposed beams and brick fireplaces giving the property a rich sense of history, while the layout and proportions make it a welcoming family home.
The ground floor offers three reception rooms, each with its own distinctive character. The main sitting room centres around an open fireplace with a brick surround and a beam above, creating a warm and atmospheric space. The dining room features exposed beams that highlight the cottage’s heritage, while the study offers a more intimate setting with a large brick fireplace and fitted cabinets. There is also a downstairs shower room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditional units and an oil fired Aga that enhances the cottage’s country feel. A utility room provides further storage, additional units and space for appliances, along with an integrated freezer. The garden room is a standout feature, filled with natural light and fitted with handmade cabinets and a Belfast sink. With doors opening to both the front and rear gardens, it creates a seamless connection between the house and its surroundings.
Upstairs, the cottage offers four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom includes a built in wardrobe, wooden floorboards and exposed beams. Three further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family, guests or home working, each benefitting from the peaceful setting and charming views.
Outside
Doves Farm Cottage is a beautiful Grade II listed thatched home set within the peaceful village of Ham, Wiltshire, offering a blend of character, charm and generous living space. Approached by a gravelled driveway the cottage sits comfortably on its plot.
Outside, the double garage offers excellent storage and includes a large loft space above, ideal for hobbies, a workshop or future potential. The mature garden wraps around the cottage, with established planting, colourful borders and a sense of tranquillity that enhances the rural setting.
The combination of outdoor space, period features and thoughtful layout makes Doves Farm Cottage a truly special home.
