Property description
DESCRIPTION A unique opportunity to acquire a delightful period cottage together with a former chapel requiring renovation which has planning consent to convert into a separate dwelling. Being sold as a whole yet having two separate legal titles, Chapel Cottage is an early 19th Century detached three bedroom cottage whilst to one corner of the garden, is a Grade II listed former Baptist Chapel which has planning consent to create a unique separate dwelling.
Chapel Cottage is known to date back to the early 19th Century and today displays much of its original character including two fireplaces and exposed beams whilst sympathetic extensions have enlarged the property to provide comfortable living accommodation extending to c.1600 sq.ft. Outside, the property enjoys a delightful landscaped garden, featured in a recent magazine, affording a great deal of privacy, and is arranged with lawned areas, colourful beds and well stocked borders, a delightful sun terrace, vegetable garden and a traditional well. The cottage adjoins arable farmland over which there are superb views.
The former Baptist Chapel, which ceased as a Place of Worship many years ago (pre electricity) and was, until latterly, used as a fodder store by a local farmer. The property was granted planning consent in 2010 by North Wiltshire District Council Reference N/10/04251 to convert and extend to a two bedroom dwelling by providing a two storey extension to one side and enlarging the building to around 1250 sq.ft. Built of natural Cotswold Stone under a stone tiled roof, this Grade II listed building is now in poor repair and requires complete renovation. A recent estimate to repair the stone tiled roof of c.£12,000 plus VAT is available from the agents whilst additional planning documents can be inspected on the council website. The property would ideally suit those wanting to create a separate dwelling, ancillary accommodation or maybe a magnificent studio.
SITUATION The properties are located in an envious location on the edge of the village with Chapel Cottage in particular commanding superb open views over the adjoining farmland. The location is ideal for those who like the outdoors with a footpath on the doorstep. Hullavington is a lively community and thriving village with a Primary School, General Store/Post Office and Garage, Parish Church, Village Hall, Micro-brewery and Public House. The village is superbly located about 5 minutes north of the M4, Junction 17 and within 15 minutes from Chippenham rail station and is ideal for those commuting to Swindon, Bath and Bristol or further afield.
