3 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION This period semi-detached cottage is rurally located overlooking rolling countryside set between the villages of Sherston and Luckington. Positioned behind the cottage, there is a c.2 acre gently sloping paddock which has vehicular access in from the road.

Internally, the accommodation extends in all to 1,237 sq.ft. with the addition of a carport and useful outhouse of which has lighting and power connected. On the ground floor, there are three characterful reception rooms within the original part of the cottage, the living room of which features a wood-burning stove. At the rear, there is a kitchen/breakfast room featuring oak beams and a Rayburn, whilst to the side there is a utility room and downstairs WC. The first floor boasts high ceilings and enjoys views over the surrounding countryside. There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with both a bath and separate shower.

The mature garden wraps around the eastern aspect of the cottage benefitting from a good degree of privacy and sunshine laid mostly to lawn with a sunken patio terrace off the kitchen. The parking area is accessed off the byway where the carport and outhouse is located.
