Threshing Barn Cottage is a detached period home with attractive Cotswold stone and rendered elevations, offset by double glazed windows beneath a stone tiled roof. This most interesting cottage, with origins dating back to the 18th Century, stands on the rural edge of Malmesbury, yet the town and all local amenities are within easy walking distance. The most deceptive interior is arranged over two floors comprising an open plan kitchen/breakfast room and a spacious double aspect sitting room with feature open fireplace.

Externally a large patio area extends to the full width of the cottage opening to a delightful rear garden that is predominantly laid to lawn.

There are far reaching rural views from the end of the garden over farmland. A driveway to the front provides off street parking for two cars.
