Pye Corner, Box, Corsham, SN13 8ED

The Property

Pye Cottage is a beautifully renovated two bedroom period cottage, situated in the heart of the highly desirable village of Box. Completed to an exceptional standard by a reputable local developer, Pye Corner presents a wonderful opportunity to purchase a truly turn-key home. The quality of finish on offer here is immediately apparent, with beautifully crafted features evident throughout the whole property from top to bottom.

Situated away from the main road, and complete with double glazing throughout, the property is quiet, but not far from everything Box has to offer.

Ground Floor

Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a warm and characterful lounge that immediately sets the tone for what this property has to offer. A striking feature fireplace forms the centrepiece of the room, lending the space real charm and character.

Off the lounge, you will find a small and perfectly formed dining room, ideal for more intimate meals or as a quiet sitting space.

To the rear of the property, a brand new kitchen has been added, creating a bright and contemporary cooking and entertaining space. Fitted with quality units and brand new appliances, the kitchen is a real highlight and perfectly complements the character of the rest of the home. There is also a handy opening between the kitchen and dining area, allowing you to get your meal to your dinner party without ever having to leave the kitchen! Everything throughout is in tip top, brand new condition.

First Floor

Upstairs, the property offers two generous double bedrooms, the principal benefiting from excellent ceiling heights that lend a real sense of light and space.

The second double bedroom benefits further from large built-in storage, making the most of every inch of the available footprint. Both rooms are well proportioned and finished to the same high standard found throughout the rest of the home.

Completing the first floor is a well-appointed family bathroom, comprising a full-size bath with overhead shower, sink, and WC. The bathroom is freshly installed and finished to a lovely standard, with clean, contemporary fittings that sit perfectly alongside the character of the wider home.

Garden

Pye Corner boasts its own private garden, which is separate from the main house itself. Tucked away, it is quiet and well-sized, perfect for a Summer BBQ or an afternoon sunbathing.

Holiday Let Opportunity

This beautiful home would work fantastically as an Air BnB or Holiday Let. We have had two Holiday Let Valuations completed. Bath based Property Management Company Roost have predicted it could achieve nightly rates of £180-£210 per night, or a gross £37,000 per annum. Costs (management commission, cleaning, linen, platform fees) would be around 50% of that so a net return of around £18,500 per annum. This is a conservative valuation by them, any boost to occupancy rates would increase the yield dramatically.

Rococo of Bath, Bath’s leading holiday let management company with a portfolio of over 70 premium properties, have appraised Pye Corner as a strong holiday let prospect. With peak summer nightly rates of £225 and a blended annual average of £175 per night, they project a gross annual income of circa £40,000 at an estimated 60% occupancy, returning an estimated £20,000 - £22,000 net to the owner after all management and platform costs. In our experience well-presented properties in desirable villages such as this consistently outperform conservative projections as reputation and reviews build.
