Horton, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10

**Virtual Tour Available**
A quintessential Grade II listed Late 16th Century detached, timber frame, thatched cottage on a south-facing 0.76-acre plot with a gated driveway. The Old Post Office offers huge charm and clear scope to update; including attention to the thatch—making it an exciting country project in a peaceful hamlet close to Devizes.

DESCRIPTION
Inside, the spacious living room features exposed beams and a broad fireplace, creating a striking focal point for the main reception. A formal dining room greets you on entry, while the kitchen sits within a later slate-roofed extension with lofty ceilings. It retains an old cast-iron range with adjoining pantry/store and leads into a bright conservatory/garden room opening onto the gardens. A practical ground-floor shower room serves this level, complemented by useful understairs storage. Upstairs, a traditional landing gives access to two bedrooms, both with cottage proportions and views across the plot. Throughout, the property displays the character of its age—timbers and thick walls—offering scope for sensitive restoration in line with its listed status.

OUTSIDE
Behind the gates the cottage sits beautifully within mature, orchard-style grounds.
