Lockeridge, Wiltshire

Hazel Cottage is the very definition of country living at its best, a pretty, wisteria clad home tucked away behind a white garden gate and nestled in one of Lockeridge’s most enviable positions, with fields stretching out beyond the garden.

Extended and lovingly transformed by the current owners, this is a home where charm and character meet modern country luxury.

Step inside and you’ll instantly feel the warmth and personality of this cottage.

The fabulous main lounge, with its oak flooring and striking fireplace complete with wood burning stove, is made for cosy evenings by the fire.

A second reception room flows seamlessly out to the garden through double doors which is currently a playroom but equally perfect as a family snug or formal dining space.

At the heart of the home lies the pièce de résistance, the kitchen. Brimming with character and crafted with a nod to traditional country style, it features an expanse of storage beneath beautiful marble worktops, a large central island with seating, a large pantry, and space for a range cooker or Aga.

Oak doors, exposed beams, and clever design details bring depth and authenticity, while the dining area opens onto the garden through wide tri-fold doors, flooding the space with natural light and creating a wonderful setting for gatherings.

A boot room and cloakroom complete this side of the house, ensuring practicality keeps pace with the style.

Upstairs, the wow factor continues. The principal bedroom is a breathtaking sanctuary, framed by a floor to ceiling window that captures uninterrupted countryside views.

The ensuite is pure indulgence! There is a free-standing bath positioned in front of its own picture window, a sleek vanity, and an entire shower room designed as a spa like retreat with rainfall shower and built in seating.

Three further double bedrooms (two with fitted wardrobes) and a stylish family bathroom make this a house that easily caters to family life.

The garden is just as special. Completely private, and backing onto open fields, with mature hedging, apple trees, and wide open skies, it’s a space that encourages both play and relaxation.

Two generous patio terraces wrap along the side of the housing providing two areas which are directly accessed from the house, one from the kitchen and the other from the playroom, making these ideal for al fresco dining, morning coffees, or evening drinks.

Hazel Cottage is more than a home; it’s a way of life. It offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Wiltshire countryside in a home that has been thoughtfully extended and beautifully finished.

Note: Planning has been granted for a large home office in the garden.

Kim Loves - This is a very special home with so much to love. If I have to pick one thing, it's got to be the ensuite bathroom!

The next owner is going to be very lucky to be able to enjoy that fabulous space.
