The Street, Crudwell, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, SN16

Nestled within the heart of the ever-popular village of Crudwell, Dapple Cottage is a deceptively spacious period home that seamlessly combines character features with practical modern living. With off-road parking, a superbly landscaped garden and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 1,478 sq.ft., this charming cottage offers far more space than its attractive frontage suggests.

Having been thoughtfully extended and enhanced over the years, the property now provides flexible living arranged over three floors, perfectly suited to modern family life while retaining the warmth and charm expected from a home of its age.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with access to the principal reception areas. The impressive kitchen/dining/family room stretches from the front of the property through to the rear, creating a fantastic sociable space for everyday living and entertaining. Beautiful flagstone flooring runs throughout, while French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the outside to become a natural extension of the home during the warmer months.

The bespoke solid wood kitchen, handcrafted by local specialists Parlour Farm, has been thoughtfully designed with an excellent range of cabinetry, Silestone worktops and a generous larder cupboard. Integrated appliances include a double oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, ensuring the space is as practical as it is attractive.

A separate sitting room provides a cosy retreat, centred around a wood-burning stove set within an attractive fireplace. Beyond, the original front porch has been cleverly repurposed as a useful home office or study area, whilst still retaining its external access if required.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks over the surrounding village and gardens. A contemporary family bathroom serves this level, fitted with a white suite, stylish tiling and a separate shower enclosure. The fourth bedroom occupies the second floor and is full of character, featuring exposed beams and roof windows that create a bright and inviting space.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, a gravelled driveway provides parking for two vehicles and benefits from an electric vehicle charging point. The rear garden is a real highlight, extending well beyond what many would expect and beautifully arranged into a series of distinct areas. Immediately behind the house is a generous flagstone terrace and decked seating area, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond lies a large lawn intersected by a striking lavender-lined pathway, leading towards a substantial stone-built outbuilding. Offering excellent versatility, this space could easily function as a home office, gym, studio or garden room. The garden continues beyond, backing onto neighbouring farmland and enjoying a wonderfully peaceful setting.
