Description Bow Cottage is a delightful period home situated in the village of Burton which boasts lovely walks, a strong community, excellent local pub and farm shop. The property has a quaint frontage whilst internally the superb accommodation is deceptively spacious (1,868 sq.ft.) and has been updated over the years to be beautifully presented throughout. Ideal for downsizers or professionals, the cottage appeals in particular to those seeking a low maintenance home whilst offering ample space for entertaining and is conveniently located to easily access the M4 corridor, Bath, Bristol and Chippenham train station.
Well-configured to flow from room to room, the ground floor layout includes a fashionable Mark Wilkinson kitchen open plan to the dining room with useful utility cupboard off. A good-sized living room features a large inglenook fireplace and original bread oven inset, whilst to the rear there is a recent addition of a stunning sitting room with glazed roof and bi-fold doors spilling into the garden, plus a ground floor WC adjoining. Upstairs, the first floor has been reconfigured to include two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second bedroom has ample built-in wardrobes whilst the principal bedroom boasts a separate dressing room and en-suite shower room. On the top floor there is a further double attic bedroom. Charming period features are showcased throughout the property including exposed timber beams. In front of the cottage there is a lawn enclosed by stone walling and driveway providing private parking leading up to a garage store which houses the oil tank. The rear south-facing garden has been beautifully landscaped, arranged over terraces comprising well-stocked shrub beds and various seating areas thoughtfully positioned to enjoy the sun throughout the day whilst lighting has been placed to illuminate the terraces at night. There is also an external power point located at the top terrace.
Situation The village of Burton lies on the southern tip of the Cotswolds and is in an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty close to the quintessential Castle Combe. The village comprises a variety of old cottages, farmhouses and larger country homes. The property is within walking distance of local amenities that include 'The Old House at Home' - a popular public house/restaurant, a new farm shop, play area and the parish church whilst in the nearby village of Acton Turville (0.5 mile) there is a shop and post office as well as the Fox and Hounds pub.
