Park Street, Heytesbury

Why you'll like it Martin and Co are delighted to bring to the market this wonderful Grade II listed period cottage, believed to date from the mid eighteenth century and situated on the peaceful edge of the highly sought after village of Heytesbury. The cottage has been in the same family for more than three decades and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a charming home full of character, set within a beautiful countryside location.

The cottage includes a variety of welcoming living spaces that display the features expected of a property of this age, including exposed beams, inglenook style fireplaces and working wood burning stoves. Many original details remain throughout, such as historic doors and ironmongery. The galley style kitchen faces due south and enjoys views into the garden.

The family bathroom is served by an electric immersion system and would benefit from updating.

A handmade oak staircase leads to a light first floor landing with further exposed beams and original floorboards. There are two generous double bedrooms. One is dual aspect with garden views and an open aspect towards the countryside beyond. The other also enjoys an open aspect towards the historic parkland opposite. The upper level includes two attic rooms with original floorboards that offer excellent potential as additional bedrooms, guest accommodation or creative spaces.

The private south facing garden is a particular feature of the property. It is planted with mature shrubs and trees and includes three apple trees, a suntrap patio, two sheds, a greenhouse and a recently constructed log cabin workshop or studio. The cabin has power, LED lighting and fibre broadband which makes it ideal for use as a home office or hobby room. The garden backs onto open countryside.

A side passage leads to a further patio area and a covered space currently used for bicycles and outdoor equipment. The front garden includes mature trees and a stone chipping driveway that provides parking for several vehicles.

Heytesbury is a welcoming and historic village with a primary school, post office and a church dating from the thirteenth century.
