19 High Street, Pewsey, SN9 6EA

A charming piece of Upavon's history, with an exciting blend of period character and recent investment.

Believed to date from the late 17th or early 18th century, this Grade II listed cottage was originally two cottages, now combined as one characterful home.

Set in the heart of the village, it retains an abundance of period charm, from its exposed beams and thick walls to its timber floorboards and striking brick inglenook fireplace.

The current owner has undertaken a significant programme of improvements, while the property still offers scope for further cosmetic updating and the opportunity for its next owner to add their own style.

Step through the pretty front door from the High Street and the charm of this historic cottage is immediately apparent.

The sitting room is warm and inviting, with timber floorboards, exposed beams, open brickwork and a striking brick inglenook fireplace taking centre stage.

A recently installed woodburning stove adds to the cosy atmosphere, creating a lovely setting for winter evenings and relaxed weekends at home.

The room has a wonderfully individual feel, with personal touches reflecting the current owner's appreciation of the countryside and village life.

Leading from the sitting room is a beautifully appointed wet room, cleverly designed to combine contemporary comfort with the character of the cottage.

Bespoke cabinetry, granite surfaces, wood-effect tiling and Aqua board walls are complemented by an electric power shower and heated Bluetooth mirror, which remains mist-free and can play music - a smart contemporary addition to this historic home.

The traditional kitchen retains plenty of character, centred around a Rayburn which provides warmth and a practical cooking facility, complemented by an electric hob, grill and oven, wooden work surfaces and good storage.

A useful external wood and coal store provides convenient storage for fuel.

From the kitchen, the accommodation flows naturally into the light-filled conservatory, creating a lovely connection between the house and garden.

With newly fitted electric heating, a gas cast-iron burner and views over the south-west facing garden, this is a particularly enjoyable space in which to relax throughout the seasons.

Outside, the garden is a real extension of the cottage.

A red-brick terrace leads from the conservatory to the garden, with gravelled seating areas providing space for outdoor dining, morning coffee or evening drinks.

The garden is securely enclosed, making it particularly well suited to those with dogs, and is mainly laid to lawn with mature borders and established planting including olive, sage and fuchsia.

Mature Sycamore Maple trees towards the rear provide privacy and a leafy backdrop.

External power points provide convenient electricity for garden lighting and tools, while a side gate gives easy access for bins.

At the end of the garden is a newly built timber-framed garden room, completed in August 2026 and measuring approximately 4.2 × 2.7.

A versatile addition, it could provide an excellent home office, creative space, studio or simply a peaceful place to enjoy the garden.

Upstairs, the spacious landing provides sufficient room for a useful home-working area, while the two double bedrooms are both well presented and benefit from fitted wardrobes.

The character continues throughout, with exposed beams, open brickwork and the impressive depth of the original walls adding warmth and individuality.

The current owner has invested significantly in the property, undertaking a substantial programme of improvements to many of the important structural and practical elements.

These include a new flat roof with a 30-year guarantee, new leadwork, rebuilding of the chimney, complete rewiring and new electrics, a new newlec electric heater and professional damp-proofing and timber treatment backed by a 10-year guarantee, including a cavity drain membrane.

The garden room and double glazing were installed in August 2026, and the front elevation has also recently been repainted.

There remains scope for further cosmetic updating, allowing the next owner to personalise the cottage to their own taste. Life at 19 High Street is very much about enjoying the best of village living.
