VENDORS SUITED WITH END OF CHAIN PROPERTY
This handsome and impressively extended period cottage enjoys a much sought after location in the heart of the thriving Market Place of Box. Revitalised and extended by the current owners the property marries period charm with the convenience of modern open space living, whilst also providing excellent future potential with planning permission granted for the conversion of the garage into further two-level living space if required.
Offering 1418 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation, a welcoming entrance hall leads you to a spacious living room with plantation shutters to the large front window and period fireplace with traditional stove. To the rear of the ground floor is a magnificent 22ft open plan L-shaped kitchen/dining/family room. Large dual aspect oak sliding doors and vaulted, beamed ceilings with a lantern window flood the room with light, and beautiful exposed stone walls and tiled floor bring a host of character, as well as a bespoke handmade kitchen with breakfast bar. There is huge space for a dining table and chairs and further furniture to suit any lifestyle. Off the kitchen is a large utility room with wc and sink.
The first floor has three double bedrooms, with two having built-in cupboards. The bathroom has a modern suite with shower over the bath.
The cottage has gas central heating throughout, with underfloor heating to the kitchen/dining/family room, and significant energy efficiency improvements have been made including solid wall, floor and loft insulation.
Externally to the rear is an enclosed private garden which enjoys a bright south-westerly aspect, and has been landscaped with a paved patio and steps up to a lawn with well stocked shrub borders and path to the rear, which gives access to the driveway and garage, which has a power supply, and as previously mentioned, has planning consent for conversion to a two level room with skylight windows - details can be found on the Wiltshire Council Planning Site under Reference PL/2023/04289. The front of the cottage is an attractively landscaped garden enclosed by wrought iron fence and gate with a path to the front door.
