Burton, Wiltshire, SN14

Formerly three farmworkers cottages and the village forge, believed to date from the 16th century, Chestnut Cottage & Forge were completely renovated in 2012, and offer characterful and versatile accommodation which is presented in good order throughout.

The welcoming living room features stone floors, exposed beams, and an impressive Inglenook fireplace with wood burner. A second reception room, currently used as a formal dining room, boasts flagstone flooring, a beamed ceiling, and another Inglenook fireplace with a wood- burning stove.

The light-filled kitchen/breakfast room at the rear is fitted with Shaker-style units, solid oak and granite worktops, a peninsula, an electric AGA, a modern oven, and induction hob. Additional features include a breakfast bar, ample builtin storage, and a door leading to the rear garden, perfect for al fresco dining. A utility room and cloakroom complete this space.

Steps from the kitchen/breakfast room lead down to a spacious family room with a wood burner, built- in surround sound wiring, and French doors opening onto a covered terrace in the private garden. There is also a bathroom on the ground floor.

On the first floor, there are two generously sized bedrooms. One could be divided into two doubles if needed and features a 'coffin hatch' for moving large furniture, as well as access to a loft with significant storage.

The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, also accessible from the other bedrooms, and an adjoining office space. The second floor offers a characterful double bedroom with an exposed stone wall, vaulted ceiling, and beams.

The private, south-facing garden is designed for low maintenance and spans three levels. The top tier features a lawn, fruit trees, a fully stocked woodstore, a greenhouse with an irrigation system, a spacious workshop, and a garden shed. Two driveways—one beside Chestnut Cottage and the other next to Chestnut Forge—offer ample parking and access to a detached double garage.

In all approximately 0.20 acres. EPC House: D, EPC Annexe: D.
