Nestled in the Wiltshire countryside just outside the picturesque village of Biddestone, famed for its large central duck pond, this period detached cottage is set within well-managed gardens bordered by fields and a country lane. Beautifully renovated both inside and out, with a recent refurbishment of the garage and the addition of a one-bedroom, self-contained annex apartment above, the property offers versatile accommodation. Laid out over two floors in an L-shape, the ground floor of the main house boasts an entrance hall, kitchen/diner, separate dining room, sitting room, study, and a cloakroom. Upstairs, one will find five bedrooms, one with an en suite dressing room and bathroom, and two further bathrooms. The current owners have lived here for eleven years, in which time they have paid great attention to the development of the garden and creating a home which celebrates its glorious natural surroundings. ‘We moved here from the other end of the village as our children were growing and we needed more room. Once you have lived in Biddestone, it’s very hard to leave.’
A quintessentially English home, it perfectly caters to modern living while offering character, comfort, and convenience. Just a stone’s throw away from Corsham and Chippenham, with Bath slightly further yet still relatively close, and with easy access to the M4 and direct trains to London, this property offers both convenience and connectivity for commuters and leisure travellers alike.
Biddestone is a thriving village, with a church community, traditional pub, and cricket club. Schooling for all ages, both state and independent, is offered by the surrounding villages and towns.

‘The garden is full of specimen trees such as cedar, mulberry, willow, and wildlife including beneficial insects, birds and several hedgehogs.’
‘Both the house and garden have a good mix of areas for entertaining. We have enjoyed everything from festival-style campouts and outdoor cinema evenings to formal dinners in the dining room while the log burner flickers away in the handsome inglenook fireplace.’
‘Nothing beats an evening by the pond, watching the dragonflies dart around the rushes and viewing deck, while the sun sets over the neighbouring fields.’
‘The house and garden enjoy some fantastic views, and the lifestyle here is wonderfully peaceful.’
‘We shall miss the community and the walks straight from the garden along footpaths, particularly the circular one that takes in the village pub.’
