About
Set in a lovely rural position just outside Downton, surrounded by farmland and mature trees, this charming three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy countryside living, with plenty of character and practical space.
Recently redecorated throughout, the cottage has a fresh, welcoming feel whilst retaining some lovely traditional features.
The kitchen has wooden worktops, painted cupboards and a traditional Rayburn, which is used for cooking and heating the hot water. There is also a separate electric oven with an LPG gas hob.
The sitting room is a bright and comfortable room, with an exposed brick fireplace housing a woodburner and a door opening directly onto the patio and garden.
One of the real bonuses of this cottage is the fabulous and spacious utility/boot room, which also serves as the main entrance to the property.
There is plumbing for a washing machine and plenty of space for a tumble dryer, fridge freezer, muddy boots and outdoor clothing - ideal for anyone who enjoys country walks and outdoor pursuits.
There is also a very good sized separate home office with a built-in desk, providing a useful dedicated space for working from home.
Upstairs are two small double bedrooms and a single bedroom, together with a family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over.
Outside, the cottage has a good-sized garden with mature trees and a patio area for outdoor seating. There is also a single garage, woodstore and plenty of off-road parking.
Please note: The garden has an unfenced boundary and is therefore not suitable for young children.
The property benefits from UPVC double-glazed windows and a combination of electric heating, a woodburner and the traditional Rayburn. Council Tax Band: C (Wiltshire County Council)
