We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
The Property Full of period character and charm. This semi-detached cottage was built in 1857 and was originally 2 farmworkers’ cottages before being combined into a single home.
The cottage is very well-presented throughout, offering beautiful countryside views, with three double bedrooms, a large, well-stocked garden, and off-road driveway parking for two vehicles.
The cottage is positioned on a small lane in the heart of this quiet, popular village, only 3 miles / 5 mins from Royal Wootton Bassett.
Approached outside, the property has a large and well-maintained garden offering a good degree of privacy. There are several fruit trees, 2 garden sheds and a wood store.
There is additional garden space on the opposite side of the house, plus a block paved driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles side-by-side.
Once inside on the ground floor, there is an entrance hall that leads to utility room, kitchen, living room and separate dining room.
The kitchen itself features bespoke wooden cabinets and worktops, and a Belfast sink. Both reception rooms have feature fireplaces, (with a Jotul wood burner in the living room) and exposed beams.
Rising to the first floor, there is a large landing area which is big enough to be used as an additional reception room, for example, a study.
There is the large master bedroom which offers far-reaching countryside views, and a beautifully fitted bathroom.
Rising to the top floor, there are two further bedrooms both of which benefit from fine views over the surrounding fields, making three bedrooms in all.
The property has uPVC double glazing (mostly recently replaced) a new roof (replaced in 2021) and oil fired radiator central heating. There is also private drainage, septic tank.
The area is particularly well suited to those who enjoy the great outdoors with a network of footpaths and bridleways accessible from the village.
