Description
Parsnip Cottage is a very pretty double-fronted detached Cotswold stone cottage situated in a lovely side-street positioned close to the centre of the highly sought-after village of Sherston with many amenities found within an easy level walk. Benefitting from a sunny southerly aspect, the cottage enjoys plenty of natural light and displays lots of charming character. The cottage has been substantially extended over the years offering around 1,300 sq.ft of accommodation.
The ground floor opens to a versatile reception hall with a downstairs shower room off. A large living room features a magnificent stone fireplace at the focal point complete with wood-burning stove. The kitchen/dining room overlooks the garden with a delightful stable door and is fitted with a range of units and appliances. Meanwhile, upstairs there are three bedrooms (two of which with fitted wardrobes), a dressing room, and a family bathroom fitted as a shower room.
There are pleasant gardens externally with views of the church and a good degree of privacy. The cottage has the great advantage of plenty of off-street parking behind a timber gate.
Situation
The beautiful, ancient and much sought after village of Sherston with its broad High Street and historic stone houses is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty conveniently located on the edge of the Cotswolds. Sherston has a thriving community and offers many facilities, including a church, popular primary school, doctors surgery, Co-op shop and post office, coffee shops, hairdresser, Indian restaurant, garden centre and the highly regarded 16th century Rattlebone Inn, with its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The facilities and amenities in Sherston more than adequately provide for everyday need with a whole host of societies and clubs meeting on a regular basis offering entertainment and social events for young and old alike. Schooling locally is second to none, with very good state and independent schools providing transport to and from the village on a daily basis. Close by are the market towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury which are both approximately 5 miles away. Malmesbury is reputed to be the oldest Borough in the country dating back to the 11th Century. Both towns offer a wider range of shops, services, schooling and leisure facilities. There are main line stations to London-Paddington at Kemble (14 miles) and Chippenham (12 miles) whilst Junctions 17 & 18 of the M4 are both within 15 minutes' drive providing convenient access to Bath, Bristol and Swindon.
The property is Freehold with oil-fired central heating, mains drainage, water and electricity. The property is located within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
