Honeypots, Bushton, SN4

EPC - C

A well-presented and fully renovated three-bedroom detached cottage, originally dating back to circa 1880, located in the sought-after village of Bushton.

The property enjoys a semi-rural position on the edge of the Marlborough Downs, offering a peaceful setting with excellent access to transport links. Junction 16 of the M4 is approximately 10 minutes away, and there are direct rail services to London from both Swindon and Chippenham.

The ground floor provides a spacious dining and entertaining room with flagstone flooring, a sitting room with fireplace and vaulted ceiling, a study/home office, and a classic-style kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is fully fitted with bespoke in-frame cabinetry, granite worktops, space for a large fridge freezer and a breakfast table. A Quettle boiling-water tap was installed in 2024. A large utility room and a bright garden/morning room complete the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, along with a family bathroom.

Externally, the property has been significantly improved. The gardens have been fully redesigned to create a private and versatile outdoor space with multiple seating areas. A separate Mediterranean-style courtyard is accessed directly from the garden room. The roof is fitted with 4.3 kW solar panels (installed in 2024), supported by a 5.12 kWh battery storage system located in the loft. Parking is available to the front, with potential for a garage (subject to planning permission).

Bushton offers immediate access to the National Cycle Network and a range of countryside walks. Nearby villages such as Broad Hinton and Winterbourne Bassett provide popular local pubs, while Royal Wootton Bassett is just 10 minutes away for day-to-day amenities. Marlborough lies approximately 8 miles away, and Bath is around 25 miles to the west. The property also benefits from superfast broadband, mains gas and mains drainage features not commonly found in rural homes.

Seller’s Notes

“Honeypots was originally built around 1890 as a farm worker’s cottage, and we moved here in February 1984  so it has been part of our family for over 40 years. During that time we’ve extended it twice and made various improvements to ensure it works well for modern living while keeping its character. It’s a home we’ve loved for decades, but after so many years here, we feel the time is right for a new adventure.”
