Property description
This is a very welcoming CHARACTER COTTAGE that is full of PERIOD FEATURES. Enhanced by contemporary appliances that blend well to create a wonderful “olde worlde” home which sits well with modern day living. With the accommodation mainly arranged over two floors, you’ll see that this is such an interesting home as you’ll be drawn further into the property due to its quirky design and upon first impression, you’ll notice the comfortable, light and spacious feel that can only be appreciated once inside.
Entrance is via a reception lobby which opens up to the Sitting Room. Duel aspect windows mean that this is a light and bright room which also has a wonderful eye catching and open INGLENOOK FIREPLACE. From here you can walk through to a lovely RE-FITTED KITCHEN/DINER. A spacious room with great cooking and storage facilities that also attracts the sun light with its southerly aspect window. From here you can easily access the utility/further storage area which will also lead you through to what could be an ANNEX, WORK PLACE, GUEST QUARTERS or even an ideal TEENAGERS DWELLING. This includes a large Sitting Room (with access to the rear) with stairs leading to a Bathroom, that then continue to a beamed double bedroom.
Back in the main part of the house again, there is another stairway that gives access to a shower room and TWO further DOUBLE BEDROOMS. Stairs lead on to a FURTHER DOUBLE BEDROOM on the top floor. Offering period features that include BEAMED CEILINGS, FIREPLACES and EXPOSED STONEWORK that along with the irregular footprint makes this such an interesting proposition to make into a new home.
Externally, there is an enclosed rear garden that is arranged with flower and herb/shrub beds, a small pond, outbuilding and an extensive patio area. There is also a private well and pedestrian access to the side. The front offers OFF ROAD PARKING for TWO CARS.
Our client says...
“The first moment I walked into My House it was love at first sight. Hundreds of years of history wrapped in a lovely bundle. I felt anything that was "not quite to my liking" could easily be overcome. It is so peaceful inside and out and the big, big bonus for me is all day sun, so straight outside for my morning cuppa in the summer. When my lovely neighbours also moved in later that put the icing on the cake.”
PICKWICK was once a separate settlement but now hosts the north western side of Corsham. It was also the inspiration behind Charles Dickens’s novel, The Pickwick Papers. Where it’s said that he borrowed the name from Moses Pickwick, a coachman who was born in Pickwick, who lived in the "Hare and Hounds" inn, just a very short walk away. Corsham itself, is a delightful historic town with all amenities including a sports leisure centre, cafés, convenience stores and specialist local business’s. Some of the local countryside and streets have been used for location by film crews and recently, Corsham High Street was featured in the BBC ONE series Poldark! As Corsham is located with just a 20 minute drive (approximately) to the City of Bath and with great access to the M4, it continues to be a very popular location for home owners who wish to have a quiet town location, with pretty much everything that the southern edge of the Cotswolds can offer on your doorstep.
