A charming family cottage in a delightful hamlet.
Description
Herdsman’s Cottage is a handsome natural stone and stone tiled late Victorian semi-detached cottage in this delightful hamlet between Sherston and Malmesbury. The cottage has been modernised to a very high standard by the current owners creating a home ready to move into for the new buyers. Now with three reception rooms and modern kitchen there is plenty of living space on the ground floor. The sitting room has a large south facing window that looks across the front garden and park land of Pinkney Park across the road. This room boasts a new, large log burner and hard wood character oak floor. The adjoining living room also has a newly fitted log burner, character oak wood floor and double doors leading into the garden. The kitchen has recently been upgraded with a John Lewis of Hungerford kitchen and granite worktop. The entrance hall, dining room and kitchen all have the same Mandarin Stone floor with underfloor heating. This provides a flow between these rooms.
The first floor, with four bedrooms, has also been finished to the same high stand as the ground floor. The principal bedroom boasts an en suite shower room, as well as even better views of neighbouring park land. Bedrooms two and three share the beautiful family bathroom that has both a large cast iron freestanding bath and shower. Bedroom four is currently being used as a study.
The well stocked private rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with a vegetable patch at the far end, where there is also a large shed with electricity connected. A gravelled patio area immediately behind the dining room is an ideal sheltered spot to enjoy alfresco dining during the summer months.
Location
Herdsman’s Cottage is situated on the very edge of Pinkney, just a short distance from the highly sought after village of Sherston. Sherston is one of North Wiltshire’s largest villages and offers excellent amenities including a primary school, church, village hall, two public houses, garage, doctor’s surgery, children’s nursery, tea room, general store and Post Office. The village is also well known for its annual boules festival.
Herdsman’s Cottage lies about five miles from the market towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury, both of which provide further amenities for everyday needs. The larger centres of Swindon, Bristol and Bath are all within easy reach and offer a wider range of shopping, sporting and recreational facilities. The area is well served for communications with Junctions 17 and 18 of the M4 being about six and eight miles respectively, providing access to London, the south west and the Midlands, along with a fast train service from Chippenham to London Paddington taking about seventy minutes.
There is a good range of both private and state schooling in the vicinity including Westonbirt, Beaudesert Park, St Mary’s Calne and the Cheltenham Colleges. In addition there are King Edward’s, Monkton Combe and The Royal High in Bath with Clifton College and Bristol Grammar School in Bristol. Sporting facilities include golf at Castle Combe, Minchinhampton and Bowood; racing at Cheltenham and Bath; hunting with the Duke of Beaufort’s hounds; and polo at Westonbirt and Cirencester Park.
Square Footage: 1,656 sq ft
