Property info

Property description

May Cottage is quietly situated off the village lane in Chiseldon. May Cottage was originally 3 estate cottages and is believed to date from the early 17th century; it is Grade II listed due to historic and architectural interest. It has white, rendered chalkstone elevations under a recently (in 2005) re-thatched water reed roof. The property has been sympathetically renovated, retaining many characterful features with fine period detailing including exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces, a bread oven and exposed chalkstone walls. The house has a substantial feel with generous reception areas with excellent ceiling heights. The property occupies a large private plot that has many fine mature specimen trees including yew, beech and ash. A 'Protected Copse' on the boundary with a neighbouring period property provides a natural woodland setting and a high degree of privacy. There are lovely lawned gardens and plenty of private parking.

The cottage is approached from the lane through timber gates giving access to a sweeping gravel drive, leading to a parking and turning area to the side of the cottage. There is an attached single garage with timber doors, power and light. To the front of the cottage is a raised lawned area with circular sundial. There is a wisteria clad well with thatched canopy. The gardens lie principally to the far side with a winding stone path flanked by lawns, interspersed by mature fruit trees. There is a trellised seating area, ornamental pond, beyond which is a further lawned area, and timber garden shed. The entire plot is extremely private being well screened by mature trees and hedging.
