THE PROPERTY

The Old Carriers Cottage was originally constructed of local Chilmark stone during the 1700's as a pair of Fonthill Estate cottages but has since been tastefully modified, extended and upgraded to now present a simply fabulous, Grade II listed Wiltshire village residence.
With over 2500 sq. ft (including garage) of flexible, high quality accommodation, this stunning cottage provides exceptional living spaces as well as characterful, charming original features throughout.

The beautiful accommodation which is arranged over two floors includes an entrance porch, large dual aspect family/dining room with fireplace, kitchen with ample room for a table, a further more cosy sitting room, again with a fireplace, separate utility room and downstairs shower room, four bedrooms, and a large bathroom with both bath and shower. A further area to the first floor provides a wonderful space for a library, or hobbies area.

To the front of this very handsome property is a tarmacadam driveway that provides ample off-road parking as well as access to the garage which benefits from power and lighting. The front of Old Carriers is very pleasing to the eye with climbing roses, and an established wisteria that provides a heart-warming welcome upon arrival.

A set of tiered steps lead to the beautiful cottage style rear garden which has been meticulously developed and maintained over years of thoughtful ownership and is simply wonderful.

The garden can also be accessed from the rear of the house where a spacious paved patio and raised decking is present providing an ideal spot for entertaining, with views over the village rooftops and the countryside beyond.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING

As of 2017, Estate Agents are legally required to undertake Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property.
Boatwrights Estate Agents Ltd are members of The Guild of Property Professionals and therefore use a professional service called Guild 365 to facilitate these checks. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted. There is a charge for this service at a cost of £30+VAT (per person) which is non-refundable. Boatwrights do receive small proportion of this fee in order to cover our administrative costs.
