Little End, Marshfield, Chippenham, SN14 8NU

Wellow Cottage is a detached Grade II Listed home, believed to date back to the mid-1700s. Originally two cottages, it has been sympathetically extended and adapted over the years to create a charming family residence. The house retains a wealth of period features, including exposed oak beams, stone mullion windows with window seats, Inglenook fireplaces and enjoys an abundance of natural light, with most rooms benefitting from dual-aspect views across the gardens, surrounding fields, and the valley beyond.

The ground floor opens with an entrance hall, which includes a large storage and utility cupboard and offers scope to create a cloakroom. The kitchen is fitted with solid oak wall and base units, complemented by oak flooring with electric underfloor heating. Three reception rooms follow, each with its own character. The dining room displays original oak beams and an impressive Inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove. The family room is light and airy, with another Inglenook fireplace, while the main sitting room features a third fireplace, an oak-beamed ceiling, and French doors that lead onto a patio and the lawned gardens beyond.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. The master is a generous double with stripped pine flooring, while the characterful second bedroom offers excellent space, with exposed ceiling beams. The third bedroom offers flexibility as an ample double or office/study. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom suite.

The gardens wrap around the property, providing lawned areas, mature borders, and several seating spaces. Two timber outbuildings with tiled roofs serve as useful workshop and storage areas. A sheltered patio at the side of the house leads naturally to the rear, where a pathway opens into a courtyard garden enclosed by low stone walls and directly accessed from the sitting room’s French doors. The property benefits with off street parking via a gated driveway.

Situated in the thriving village of Marshfield, the property is at the end of a quiet, no-through lane, within walking distance of local shops, a tea room, bistro, doctors’ surgery, well-regarded primary and pre-schools, two pubs, and numerous clubs and societies. Just eight miles north of Bath, Marshfield is ideally located for access to both Bath and Bristol, as well as the M4. Chippenham railway station, around ten miles away via the A420, offers a fast and convenient link to London Paddington.
