Wilton, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Description

Located in a secluded position in the heart of this most popular of Wiltshire villages, Hideaway Cottage is a charming three bedroom house with a detached home office/garden room at the rear of the garden.

At 1357 square feet, the house enjoys great proportions and is presented to a high standard throughout. The welcoming entrance hall leads off to the modern kitchen / breakfast room, which has been cleverly designed with a good range of fitted units.

The sitting room is a spacious yet cosy space, overlooking the garden and centred around the woodburning stove. This room has a lovely, comfortable feel and leads seamlessly through to the conservatory and garden beyond. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the study and cloakroom.

Heading upstairs, there is a truly impressive principal bedroom overlooking the garden with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling, complete with an en-suite shower room and generous fitted wardrobes. It also enjoys full length windows which open out onto a glazed balcony. There are two further bedrooms (one double and one single) which are served by the well-appointed family bathroom. In addition, there is a large and very handy boarded loft, offering excellent additional storage.

Outside

The cottage is approached across a shared drive through iron gates to its own private driveway, offering ample space for parking.

The gardens are mainly set across a small stream, accessed by a wooden bridge, and principally laid to lawn with a range of mature trees and shrubs.

At the rear is an extremely useful and spacious garden room, which makes an ideal home office in this peaceful setting. Outside, there is a decked terrace offering the perfect place for entertaining and beneath is a timber outbuilding, great for garden/bike storage with power and water, including a w.c.

Should there be the need for more space, it should be noted that there is lapsed planning permission for a one bedroom annexe on the driveway (
