Property description

A charming and characteristic period stone cottage with an adjoining 1 bedroom annexe ideal for elderly relative or as a separate office space.

A charming and beautifully presented detached stone cottage having the advantage of an attached annexe, pleasantly situated and set back off Purton village High Street. This particular property, we are advised, originally dates from the 18th Century and probably thatched, later to be raised to the first floor in the mid 1800s, followed then by the annexe added in 1992. Delightful cottage gardens, to both front and rear, are a main feature to the overall ambiance of the property to complement the internal character therein. The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance porch and hallway, sitting room with an inglenook fireplace and multi-fuel burner, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room (the breakfast area featuring a vaulted ceiling) utility room allowing access through to the annexe which comprises a double bedroom with wardrobes, inner hall, shower room with w.c. and a lounge with gas flame fire and patio doors, in turn lead into the rear garden (this room could facilitate a kitchenette area). On the first floor of the cottage are two double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, the master with an en-suite shower, and a spacious family bathroom with a four piece suite. Other features include latticed uPVC double glazing, gas central heating with a recently replaced boiler, timber doors, a number of which are latched and exposed beams. Access to the property is via a five bar gate leading into a stone chip vehicle parking area with enough room to accommodate a caravan or motor home as well as other motor vehicles. The mature and very pretty gardens offer a wealth of colour and selection of plants, shrubs and ornamental trees. All in all a very appealing property both inside and out and viewing is very highly recommended.
