3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Set on the edge of the beautiful Wiltshire village of Steeple Ashton, this attractive extended cottage has a splendid garden, garaging and off road parking for 3 vehicles.

Believed to have been built in 1875, this charming home had a 2 storey extension added in 2003 by the previous owners and then a garage added more recently. The cottage harmoniously blends the old with the new, with exposed beams and an Inglenook fireplace sitting alongside a contemporary kitchen and modern comforts. Internally, an entrance lobby opens through to a delightful 18ft x 17ft open plan kitchen/dining room with slate floor tiles and beams. This dual aspect room has a stylish refitted kitchen with painted wall and base cupboards and solid granite worktops and upstands. There is an integrated fridge and freezer, a dish washer and a 'Rangemaster' oven. From the Belfast sink there are views over the field to the rear. Set off the kitchen area is a very useful combined utility/cloakroom also with slate floor tiles and an oil fired boiler. The sitting room has ceiling beams plus a log burning stove set in the aforementioned Inglenook, and stairs up to the first floor. The landing could accommodate a small desk to make a study area, and has access up to a part boarded loft with light and wooden panelled latched doors that lead off to the family bathroom with a roll top bath (with cradle shower), part tiled walls with wooden flooring, and lovely rural views. Of the 3 bedrooms, 2 are dual aspect, but each one enjoys the fine views that surround the cottage.

Outside, there is driveway parking for 3 cars and a timber clad 19ft x 15ft garage with internal and external lights plus power. A gate leads up the pathway in to the pretty garden that is completely private. The garden features a lawn and a colourful array of plants including wild poppies and a buddleia, plus an acer, cherry tree and a small greenhouse. There is also a raised well.
