Ogbourne, Colerne, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN14 8DJ

The property has been meticulously improved by the current owners and is presented in immaculate decorative order throughout, providing a highly inviting, flexible, and comfortable accommodation over four-storeys.

Step into a characterful porch, added by the current owners to create a useful space in which to store away the coats and shoes, and proceed in turn into a beautiful and sociable open-plan kitchen/dining room.

This luxurious space has been thoughtfully designed to combine traditional style with practical functionality.

Hand-painted solid wood wall and base units are complemented by elegant light granite worktops and a classic Belfast sink, while integrated appliances and a range cooker provide everything required for modern family living and entertaining.

At the heart of the home lies a wonderful sitting room, often full of warmth, light, and character.

Exposed ceiling beams combine with an impressive original Bath stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove to create a cosy focal point, while the beautiful stone mullion windows overlook the garden and provide delightful window seats from which to enjoy the outlook.

Original wooden floor boards rest beneath the existing attractive low-maintenance flooring that serves this generous space which benefits from a bright dual-outlook.

Beyond the sitting room French doors open directly onto the courtyard garden, allowing natural light to enter the room and creating a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors.

From here, stairs descend to a useful lower ground floor room currently utilised as an office / T.V room / occasional double bedroom.

Benefiting from windows to the front, underfloor heating, power and lighting, this adaptable and well-equipped space could equally serve as a hobby room or gym.

The first-floor continues the property's theme of character and charm.

Both double bedrooms are generously proportioned with one featuring plentiful built-in wardrobes together with attractive window seats and a beautifully re-fitted en-suite shower room which is finished to a sleek high standard.

The other offers a striking vaulted ceiling that creates a wonderful sense of space and architectural interest, with a highly useful mezzanine area that serves perfectly as a quirky study space, reading room, or as an additional large storage space - all of which is illuminated by natural light that streams in through the roof window.

The first-floor family bathroom is a particular highlight, showcasing a wealth of original character.

Exposed oak floorboards, a decorative fireplace and a traditional freestanding roll-top bath combine to create a luxurious and timeless space.

From the landing, steps rise to an attic room currently arranged as a guest bedroom, where exposed timbers and fitted storage cupboards create a charming and private retreat or an alternative office.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a landscaped garden created by the current owners as a peaceful haven in which to enjoy hosting in the sun.

A delightful south-west facing courtyard garden extends across the full width of this sizeable cottage, providing a private and sheltered space perfectly positioned to enjoy afternoon and evening sunshine.

Thoughtfully arranged with flagstone paving, raised flower beds and attractive planting, the garden offers an ideal and relatively low-maintenance setting.

A highly useful stone-built garden studio provides additional flexibility and benefits from power, lighting and a window, making it ideal as a creative workspace, garden room or storage facility.

Further enhancing the practicality of the property is a useful alleyway providing direct access from the courtyard garden to the High Street.

Currently utilised by the owner as a secure and dry storage area, this space offers excellent additional functionality.

To the front of the cottage is a rare and valuable double-width private driveway providing off-road parking for two large vehicles and an EV charging point.
