Description
Nestled within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming semi-detached period cottage enjoys a rural outlook across farmland located on the edge of Grittleton village. Occupying a generous corner plot, the property presents excellent scope for enlargement, with planning permission already granted for an extension.
Constructed in natural stone as part of the historic Neeld Estate, the cottage exudes character with distinctive architectural touches including hood mould windows and ornately carved bargeboards. Inside, the property benefits from an abundance of natural light and excellent ceiling heights.
Arranged over two floors, the current layout spans approximately 1,028 sq.ft., complemented by an additional 358 sq.ft. of adjoining versatile outbuildings. The ground floor features an entrance hall, a spacious triple-aspect reception room thoughtfully zoned into a comfortable sitting area with a cosy multi-fuel stove and a dedicated dining space. A fitted kitchen at the rear provides access to the outbuildings, which currently include a WC, a utility room, a large store, and a former pigsty. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom that has been updated to a modern shower room.
Planning permission (ref: PL/2025/02965) was granted in May 2025 to remove the existing outbuildings and construct a sympathetic extension. This planned expansion will enlarge the kitchen, create a ground floor third bedroom suite, and allow for other desirable internal alterations, offering the new owners to put their stamp on the property.
The wonderful gardens are beautifully maintained and thoughtfully landscaped into various distinct areas, screened by mature hedging. The gardens feature curved lawns, well-stocked perennial beds, and patio spaces. A private gravelled driveway provides convenient private parking for several vehicles.
Situation
The property is rurally located at Foscote near Grittleton, enjoying lovely views over fields and positioned within 1/4 mile of the popular village of Grittleton. Grittleton is a highly sought-after and delightfully unspoilt North Wiltshire village with excellent community amenities, including The Neeld Arms public house, a Church, and active tennis and cricket clubs. The neighbouring village of Yatton Keynell offers further conveniences with a post office/store, a doctor's surgery, and a primary school. A more comprehensive range of facilities can be found in the nearby market towns of Chippenham and Malmesbury. The cultural cities of Bath and Bristol are approximately 20 minutes by car, whilst for those needing to travel further afield, there are frequent inter-city train services from Chippenham. Both M4 Junctions 17 and 18 are about 10 minutes' drive away, providing convenient access to Bristol, London, the South, and the Midlands.
