High Street, Heytesbury

THE PROPERTY

is a charming detached cottage believed to date from circa 1765 which has colourwashed rendered elevations whilst the rear features attractive random stonework all under a tiled roof and benefits from Upvc sealed-unit double glazing together with Oil-fired central heating to radiators. The accommodation has a number of original features including exposed timberwork and attractive fireplaces creating a delightful blend of old and contemporary. Available with no associated sale chain, this is a cottage which would equally suit someone seeking an easily run home for retirement or family occupation in a friendly and active village where properties are seldom available for sale. Cottages of this type are proving increasingly scarce hence the Agents strongly recommend early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.
