Nettleton, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN14

Dating from around 1600 and formerly one of the village’s two public houses, The Old King William offers well-balanced accommodation with a strong sense of character throughout. A generous reception hall with oak flooring and an open fireplace provides an inviting introduction and leads through to the principal living spaces, which are naturally arranged and well connected. At the centre of the house is the Neptune kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a marble-topped island and range cooker, designed for both everyday use and entertaining, and opening into a conservatory that connects directly to the terrace and garden beyond.

The living room is positioned to one side of the house, creating a private and distinct space, with exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and excellent natural light. The dining room with its fireplace and original bread oven lies just off the hall and connects to both the kitchen and a further reception/play room, offering flexibility for family living and entertaining. Additional accommodation includes a utility/boot room and a first-floor study. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including three well-proportioned doubles, served by a family bathroom and separate shower room.

The gardens are a notable feature of the property, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by established planting, including a variety of fruit trees such as apple, pear and damson. The space feels private and enclosed, with an easy connection from the house into the garden, creating an attractive setting for both family life and entertaining.

A generous flagstone terrace runs along the rear elevation, with a timber pergola providing a defined seating and dining area, directly connected to the kitchen and conservatory. To the front, a gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a double garage with power supply, positioned alongside the house.

The Old King William is located in the highly regarded village of Nettleton, within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The setting offers a strong sense of countryside living, while remaining conveniently placed for Bath and Chippenham, the latter providing mainline rail services to London Paddington in around 60 minutes.

Everyday amenities are available in the nearby villages of Acton Turville and Yatton Keynell, while Bath offers a comprehensive range of independent shops, restaurants and cultural attractions, together with a selection of well-regarded state and private schools.
