Court Cottage, Market Place, Chippenham, SN14 7HT

Description Court Cottage is a simply stunning period cottage set within an outstanding position overlooking the quintessential Market Place in the very heart of the world-famous Cotswold village of Castle Combe.

Grade II Listed and dating back to the 17th Century, the cottage adjoins the former Court House and is believed to have been the village constable’s residence.

In modern times, the current owners have undertaken a very impressive renovation sympathetically restoring the cottage’s beautiful period features with a meticulously high level of detail.

Other upgrades include re-wiring, a new external boiler, oil tank and radiators. The Neptune designed interior is impeccably presented throughout and ready to move straight into.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors extending to around 617 sq.ft.

The ground floor opens to a living room featuring a stone fireplace with a Jotul wood-burner inset, oak flooring, and reclaimed shutters framing the mullion window.

Steps lead down to a versatile rear lobby which houses the laundry appliances and offers a desk area in which to work from. The kitchen is well-fitted and sits beside a storage area and the bathroom.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys a charming outlook across the Market Place and the church.

The gardens of Court Cottage are equally as impressive as the interior and provide a secluded tranquillity to truly delight in.

Designed by rhs Gold Medallist Louise Bastow, the gardens feature a melody of traditional cottage perennials and David Austin roses framing two lawns against the wooded valley backdrop.

Adjoining the rear of the cottage is a pea gravel seating terrace. At the far end of the garden lies a Heritage potting shed.

The cottage has the great advantage of a garage which provides private parking located just a moment’s walk away in the Old Stable Yard.

This idyllic cottage is presented to a turn-key standard, available chain free and could be sold fully furnished, subject to negotiations.

The cottage also has the benefit of being possibly enlarged if desired with planning permission granted in 2022 (now lapsed) to create a rear extension.
