Sherbourne Cottages, Purton, Wiltshire, SN5 4EN

Some homes have the space, some have the character, and some have the garden. This one manages all three.

Built in 1894 and originally part of Sherbourne Cottages, this handsome terraced home has real charm, generous rooms and a garden that genuinely feels like a surprise waiting behind the front door.

With three bedrooms, two reception rooms, kitchen, and bathroom, the house already offers excellent space, while lapsed planning for a loft room and extended kitchen/breakfast room adds an exciting sense of future potential.

Outside, there is driveway parking to the front, a wonderfully long rear garden, open fields beyond and a large insulated garden room that could work brilliantly as an office, gym, studio or extra reception space.

Step inside   A porch leads into the entrance hall, where stairs rise to the first floor and there is a useful storage cupboard.

The living room sits to the left and immediately shows the character of the house, with a bay window to the front and a feature fireplace creating a strong focal point.

From the hall, the dining room provides a generous second reception space, ideal for family meals, entertaining or day-to-day living.

To the rear is the kitchen, fitted with a range of storage and appliance space, with the layout continuing through to a rear hall.

From here, there is access out to the garden, as well as to the bathroom, which includes a corner bath, separate shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three large double bedrooms, giving the house a really strong sense of usable space and flexibility.

Step outside   The front of the property is set back from the road with a gravelled driveway providing valuable off-road parking. The rear garden is a major part of the appeal.

Immediately adjoining the house is a patio area, framed by beautiful rose borders and planting, creating a lovely spot for outdoor dining and summer sitting.

From here, the garden continues to unfold, with a seating area and pergola leading through to further garden space beyond.

It is one of those gardens that keeps going, and going, and then gives you one more surprise at the end.

There are long lawns, mature planting, plenty of space for children, pets or keen gardeners, and a wonderful sense of depth.

Beyond the garden are open fields, helping create a much greener outlook than you might expect from such a convenient village position.

At the far end is a substantial insulated garden room with bi-fold doors back towards the garden. Whether used as a home office, gym, studio, games room or extra reception space, it...
