This beautifully presented former Quarryman’s cottage, built in about 1840, blends period charm with contemporary living and is rich in character and historic features. Set off Box Hill Common, it has been thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners. A Granit gravel drive to the front provides parking for two vehicles. Inside, the open-plan living room features exposed freestone and Ashlar blocks, stone mullioned windows, beams, engineered oak flooring, a multi fuel log burner, stairs to the first floor, and access to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with dark blue shaker-style units, oak worktops, and integrated appliances including a washing machine, dishwasher, 5-ring gas hob, double oven, fridge, and freezer. The dining area, open to the kitchen, has a skylight and bi-fold doors to a raised balcony, with oak flooring continuing throughout. Steel steps lead from the balcony to the garden, with storage beneath. Upstairs, a skylight-lit landing leads to a superb walk-in wardrobe, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The main bedroom at the rear includes Plantation shutters, part-paneled walls and a stylish en suite wet room with floating sink and walk-in shower. The second bedroom is a double offering views across the Bybrook Valley, and the stylish fully tiled bathroom also features a skylight. Oak flooring and cottage-style latched doors complete the upper floor. The garden is landscaped and designed to provide a tranquil, low maintenance, private space for entertainment or simply relaxing and listening to the bird song. The timber-clad garage includes an inspection pit and a sectional electric door. A block-paved drive accommodates up to four cars.
Situation - Located off Box Hill Common, a cherished local green space within the Cotswold’s AONB. Perfectly placed for country walks from the doorstep, and then back for a drop in at the excellent local pub, The Quarrymans. Box village is about a mile away and offers a primary school, village hall with library, shop, church, pub, post office/store, curry house, doctor’s surgery, and the “Rec” – a large open space with cricket, football, bowling, tennis, and a playground. With Bath less than 8 miles away, easy access to the M4 (J17/18) 15–20 minutes and the Paddington line 6 miles away in the local town of Chippenham, this rural setting allows for an easy commute by road and rail, whatever your destination.
