Fern Farm Cottage, a mid-terrace period property, has been sympathetically restored to provide a comfortable, modern home while retaining its original charm. The cottage is spread over two floors with the addition of a cellar. The ground floor features spacious open-plan living, while the first floor boasts two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Positioned in The Shoe, a hamlet in the parish of North Wraxall in north-west Wiltshire, this settlement lies at the junction of two historic routes: the Fosse Way, an ancient Roman road connecting Exeter to Lincoln, and the A420, which links Bristol and Oxford. Named after the former inn, The Horse-shoe, The Shoe offers an ideal blend of tranquillity and accessibility, located just seven miles west of Chippenham and a similar distance northeast of Bath. ‘We were drawn to the character of the cottage, especially its unique features like the open fireplace.’ ‘Being near the Cotswold Way means we have access to fantastic walks and abundant wildlife, and the nearby village of Marshfield offers local shops and pubs. The transport links are excellent for commuting, with easy access to Bath, London, Bristol, and Wales by car. Plus, it's only about 75 minutes to London Paddington by train from Chippenham.’ Several significant improvements have recently been made to the property, including Celotex floor insulation installed downstairs, a newly fitted kitchen, new carpets, soundproof triple glazing, upgraded lighting, and fresh plastering and paintwork. The basement has also been waterproofed with Vandex and the floor levelled, making it perfect for conversion into a snug, home gym, cinema room, office, or wine cellar. ‘The property is also ideal for investment or as a holiday let, and we've considered converting the attic into a spacious third bedroom.’
‘The Shoe has a welcoming, neighbourly feel, and we love the views of the fields from the rear window – it's the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee, or a good book.’
‘Despite its rural setting, the convenience of a nearby doctor’s surgery and post office is fantastic. The area also has several great local schools, and North Wraxall Village Hall offers a playgroup and other community activities.’
‘Our favourite space is the cosy sitting room, especially because of the open fire and lovely atmosphere. With the sitting room and kitchen connected, the ground floor is ideal for entertaining.’
‘We'll miss the sense of community, the privacy combined with easy accessibility, but most of all, the warm, homely feel of the cottage.’
