Box Cottage – More than just a box to live in

Box Cottage is far from just a box to live in - such a view is to be greatly appreciated as the cottage sits in the heart of the Vale of Pewsey, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and one of the real gems of rural Wiltshire, framed to the north by the Marlborough Downs and south by the escarpment of Salisbury Plain.

But the outside world is never too far away – mainline trains run from nearby Pewsey for those who need quick access to London and the towns of Devizes, Marlborough, and Swindon are all readily accessible, as is the ancient cathedral city of Salisbury.

Box Cottage is packed with charming and appealing features, with period touches abounding throughout the property. The sitting room, with its flagstone floor, has an inglenook fireplace set under a heavy beam and housing a wood burning stove.

Window seating and wood panelling add to its warm feel. It opens in one direction into a superb kitchen / dining room and at the other end is the fourth bedroom / study, next to which stairs rise to the master suite.

The kitchen / dining room has a real cottage feel with wood base units forming a peninsula that divides the two areas of the room. Flagstone flooring is again a feature and the dining area is well lit thanks to its four windows.

Stairs from the dining room lead to the first floor and are the principal access for two of the bedrooms and the family bathroom. One bedroom has French doors that open onto a south-west facing balcony. A door from the landing also connects to the master bedroom, which has a free-standing bath at one end, a cloakroom, and a range of wardrobes.

A large brick and wood workshop in the garden would make a superb hobbies space although there is also the possibility that it could, subject to planning consents, be converted into a garage. There is parking for three cars while the garden has a sun terrace with raised vegetable beds to one side and a lawned area. The garden is fully enclosed by hedging and low level walling.
