High Street, Cricklade, Wiltshire

Step inside

From the moment you step in, the cottage charm is unmistakable.

The living room is wonderfully characterful, centred around an impressive Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace that gives the space real warmth and presence. It's the sort of room that feels cosy in winter and calm all year round.

To the rear, the kitchen/dining room offers excellent proportions, with a range cooker, ample storage and plenty of space for a proper dining table. It's a room designed for everyday life — morning coffee, homework at the table, friends round for supper.

A rear lobby leads outside and to a practical utility/cloakroom with WC — a small detail that makes a big difference in period homes.

Upstairs, there are three genuinely good-sized bedrooms, all with comfortable proportions and flexibility depending on how you live. The family bathroom serves the floor, and from the third bedroom, steps rise to two loft rooms — ideal as hobby space, storage, occasional workspace or simply useful...

Step outside

One of the real surprises here is the garden.

A good-sized and private space, it combines patio and lawn with plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing or letting children roam. A large storage shed adds practicality, while the access via a shared passageway from the High Street provides both convenience and a sense of security. The neighbouring cottage has access along a footpath into their garden.

It's rare to find such a tucked-away position with this level of outside space right in the heart of town.

Area insight

Cricklade is a desirable Saxon town known for its strong sense of community, independent shops and everyday amenities — all of which are quite literally on your doorstep here.

Yet despite the central setting, this cottage feels peaceful and hidden away, offering the best of both worlds: immediate access to cafés, pubs and shops, alongside a sense of privacy that's hard to come by in High Street locations.

Well connected for road and rail links, it's a location that works just as well for commuters as it does for those wanting everything within walking distance.
