The ground floor comprises a delightful sitting room with feature open fireplace and a fitted kitchen opening to a dining room. There are two bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom on the first floor. A turned staircase from the landing rises up to a fabulous attic double bedroom with vaulted ceiling and dressing area. Externally the south facing garden lies to the front of the property with a number of useful outbuildings.

Situation

The property stands in a convenient position just off the High Street allowing easy access for all village amenities. Sherston is a picturesque, character village located some five miles from the renowned market towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury on the edge of the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border. The early stages of the River Avon meander through the valley below the village which is surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside ideal for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits. Sherston has a thriving community and a good number of facilities for a village of its size, which include a parish church, newly built and top performing primary school, nursery school, two public houses, butcher, large general store/post office and doctor's surgery. Sporting facilities include cricket, football, tennis and French Boule, culminating in a lively tournament hosted in the wide High Street every summer. The village is exceptionally well placed for Bath, Bristol, Swindon and the M4 motorway which can be accessed at junctions 17 and 18 both within 10 to 15 minutes drive whilst fast trains operate regularly from Chippenham and Kemble connecting with London Paddington in approximately one and a half hours.
