Cuttle Lane, Biddestone, Wiltshire, SN14 7DA

This beautifully renovated non-listed period home, dating back to the early 1800s, has been thoughtfully extended in 2016 to create a residence that combines historical charm with modern practicality. Situated along a popular street among other unique period homes, the property enjoys a prime location in the ever-desirable village of Biddestone, surrounded by picturesque countryside and offering a sense of community alongside convenience.

At the heart of the home lies a gorgeous and light dual-aspect open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, a truly sociable space finished to a high standard. Wooden worktops complement the generous layout, while a gas five-ring range cooker with double oven and plate warming tray forms the perfect centrepiece for those who enjoy cooking. A water softener, integrated Bosch dishwasher, and a thoughtful selection of lighting options allow the space to adapt to different moods and occasions. There is space, power, and plumbing for both a large American-style fridge freezer as well as a washing machine and tumble dryer, although the latter two items are currently tucked away tidily in the separate utility room. A Worcester combination boiler, installed only three years ago (approximately), is also located here. Bifold doors open the room onto the rear garden, and a handy downstairs cloakroom with W.C. is also accessed from this space. A separate dining room can conveniently be found off the kitchen / breakfast room, linking this up with the sitting room to create a lovely flowing feel to this house. Adding further versatility and charm, this dining room offers spacious proportions, rich wooden flooring, attractive exposed beams, and a delightful window seat from which to sit and enjoy the vista of the garden and stunning rural views beyond. From here, a charming oak staircase rises to the first floor. The sitting room adjacent is equally appealing, with characterful large exposed beams overhead, bespoke shelving and cupboard storage, and a lovely fireplace inset with a working wood-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming focal point and a notably comfy and cosy space when the winter evenings begin to draw in.

The first floor offers a superb main bedroom that impresses with its abundance of storage, thanks to carefully constructed and tastefully decorated fitted wardrobes. Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of light and space, while French doors open to a private balcony terrace from which glorious rolling countryside views can be enjoyed with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The main bedroom also benefits from a sleek, modern en suite shower room with a fully tiled walk-in enclosure, sink, W.C, and heated towel rail. The family bathroom serves the other two well-proportioned bedrooms, and is finished in fresh, neutral tones and features tall ceilings, a window, and a full-length bath with shower over, complemented by a heated towel rail, W.C, and sink, with additional useful storage space found inside the window seat. Bedroom two is a comfortable double, filled with light from two windows and enhanced by a lovely decorative period fireplace. Bedroom three works perfectly a smaller double or large single room, full of character with its exposed stone wall.

The landscaped and enclosed rear garden has again been designed with both beauty and practicality in mind. A good expanse of lawn provides space for families to enjoy, while an expansive and private-feeling patio makes an excellent setting for entertaining or relaxing. Planting beds brim with colour from a wide variety of flowers and mature plants, and the garden’s south-west orientation makes the most of the sun throughout the day and gives a lovely dramatic backdrop with sunsets in the evening.

Further enhancing the appeal of this home is a fully insulated and secure double-glazed stone outbuilding, converted in 2014 to create an excellent additional space. Currently utilised as a home office with strong connectivity, it offers huge versatility and currently also serves serve as a guest suite, but could comfortably work as a gym, garden retreat, or playroom/hobbies room. The separate utility room with extra storage is incorporated within this outbuilding, and features a W.C and sink for convenience, as well as showcasing the potential to create a washroom if desired (subject to any required consents). At the front of the property, a covered wood store serves the house, and there is a small area of hardstanding to potentially place a little table and chairs if someone desired an additional / different seating area.
