3 bed cottage for sale

The Downs, Wickwar GL12

Hill Cottage is a truly delightful character property (detached other than one corner which adjoins a neighbouring cottage) which dates back to the early 1800s. It has a wealth of attractive period features including the original flagstone floor, fireplaces, timber beams and flooring. Originally a two bedroom cottage, the property has since been extended at the rear with a large single storey extension which comprises of a modern kitchen, and utility room, then a third (single) bedroom with downstairs shower room and a handy boot room area. To the front there is an attractive lounge with feature fireplace and working log burner plus a separate dual aspect dining room that leads into a fabulous modern kitchen. On the first floor there are two good size double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is a delightful - enclosed and very private - planted front garden which is laid to lawn with a combination of seating areas and lots of attractive shrubs and plants. There is also an elevated side garden with views and some cultivated areas, young fruit trees and then a small rear courtyard which is ideal for a small shed and storage. Hill Cottage is a 'chocolate box' character home, ideal for those looking for something cosy, unique and rather special! Please note there is no parking at the property.
