Country home will set you thinking

A home for those with a degree of imagination has come onto the market set in some of Wiltshire’s most attractive countryside. Chesterman’s Cottage is about a mile from East Tytherton and has a fine outlook over open countryside with the hillside escarpment to the north and west of Bremhill village as its backdrop.

There is now scope to modernise the cottage, reflected in the £350,000 guide price, while it might also be possible to extend it too, subject to the necessary planning consents, says Vicky Iddon, of the Chippenham office of Dreweatt Neate.

“The cottage has good accommodation already, including a bedroom with fitted furniture on the ground floor, where there is a cloakroom and separate shower room,” she adds.

“A single storey extension added to the side of the original cottage provides the new entrance hall, which has enough room for a study area, too. The kitchen / breakfast room is very well proportioned and both this and the bedroom look out to the south.

“Across the end of the cottage is the sitting / dining room, facing both south and west. It has a door into the garden protected by a glazed porch and wooden open tread stairs in the dining area rise to the family bathroom and two bedrooms, both with wardrobes, on the first floor.

“Like many a country property, the cottage comes with a large garden with mature fruit trees, numerous other shrubs and trees, and both a lawn and paved patio. There is parking for two to three cars, a timber store, garage, and further storage shed.

“Access to Chippenham, Calne, and Marlborough is easy, with mainline trains stopping at Chippenham. There is also a quick route to the M4 at junction 17.”
