Cottage for sale in Malmesbury SN16, 3 Bedroom

Description Lavender Cottage is a charming period cottage situated down a quiet lane within close proximity to the centre of the thriving village of Sherston. Built of Cotswold stone, the cottage is most deceptive with a substantial extension to the side whilst internally there is an array of character features including exposed beams and stone walls.

Arranged over three storeys, the accommodation extends in all to 1,127 sq.Ft with excellent living space on the ground floor comprising a front living room with pretty fireplace and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with separate dining room off. Also on the ground floor is the family bathroom and boot room through to the utility and WC. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, one with built in wardrobes, and further steps lead to the top floor attic bedroom which has exposed beams. The accommodation has been well maintained now requiring some general modernising/updating whilst it is considered there is scope for further extending subject to planning.

Externally and approaching the property there is private parking for three vehicles, a rarity for such a centre of the village location. The cottage is set well away from the lane by its large garden which has a delightful southerly aspect and a range of mature planted borders, shrubs and trees plus a gravelled seating area and two sheds. Behind the property, accessed off the utility, there is a small further area which is laid to gravel with a washing line.

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 church, primary school, doctor's surgery, post office & general stores, hairdresser, wine shops and two pubs including 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.
