Would you like to own a little piece of local history...?

We are delighted to offer this charming character cottage dating back to around the 17th Century. Rectory Cottage has been owned by the same family since 1932 and previously by the Bolingbroke family, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home with deep local heritage. Set on a lovely, generous plot, the property provides substantial scope for extension and improvement, subject to the necessary consents, and even the potential for a building plot or lodge at the rear of the garden.

Inside, the cottage retains appealing original features, including exposed beams and fireplaces. The ground floor includes a welcoming kitchen/dining room, a utility room, a downstairs W.C., and a conservatory overlooking the rear garden. A dual‐aspect living room provides excellent natural light, while a separate study/hobby room offers flexible additional space.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and the second floor features a cosy single bedroom.

The property sits within large, well‐maintained gardens to both the front and rear, offering a high degree of privacy. A gated entrance leads to driveway parking and a garage, and the garden also includes an original well that forms a delightful feature.

Lydiard Millicent is a highly sought‐after Wiltshire village, home to a pub, primary school, and village hall, with a wide range of further amenities available in nearby Swindon and Royal Wootton Bassett.
