Tucked away from the main road and accessed through a pretty gate is this delightful two bedroom period cottage, with a wonderful garden that has been beautifully maintained. Ideal for first time buyers or investment purchaser and the perfect holiday let/second home.
Stooped in history with plenty of period features and was formally a residence for the workers of Shaw Manor.
On the ground floor there is a gorgeous wooden porch taking you through to a stable door and entrance hall with a cupboard (Ideal for coats and shoes) and provides access to a lovely cottage style fitted kitchen/dining room, with double aspect, and a large living room with open fireplace.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms with original painted wooden flooring and a stylish family bathroom. There are attractive character iron radiators in all rooms, and the property has recently undergone new pipework to the interior, with outside pipes/drains having been also recently maintained.
Outside is where this period home really comes in to its own. With a much larger outside space than you would expect, ideal for pottering about and sure to keep any green fingered gardener busy. There is a lawned area with well established boarders, paths leading through well planted areas and private spaces, a summerhouse/garden room with power and light and a large wooden outbuilding which could easily be converted in to a home office/play room/games room.
All in all a real gem of a property, tucked away in a secret location.

Places of interest

    Delivering a Quality and Personal Service Simply put, we love what we do and treat every buyer, seller, associate and member of staff as an extension of our own family. We model the level of service we provide not on our rival estate agents but on the service you'd expect. Such as a five star hotel or Michelin restaurant. We have learnt that doing the basics really well is a strong start. So from the outset we will establish how you like to communicate (phone, email, text, WhatsApp, you name it) and at times convenient to you. The world is no longer a 9 'til 5 place and neither are we. Above all we will commit to listening. You can always expect a warm welcome at our beautiful converted barn offices in Seend where we can discuss your needs and you will receive honest, accurate and sound advice coupled with good coffee! Marketing Your PropertyWe are convinced that the quality of our marketing is second to none. We seek to maximise the exposure of your home across all the major property portals and social media channels, utilising the best of modern marketing methods combined with a traditional "rolled up sleeves" approach to getting busy on the phones to our database of potential purchasers. Professional photography, quality floor plans and beautifully composed descriptions come as standard with no hidden costs. Viewings are accompanied by one of the co-founding directors as are all valuations, sales negotiations and sales progression by your personal estate agents.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on August 17, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 17, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
