Description
Wiltshire Path Cottage is a charming double-fronted detached period cottage coupled with the exceptional benefit of a detached self-contained annexe within the grounds. This Cotswold stone built property is located towards the edge of the peaceful village of Sopworth and enjoys tranquil views across fields. The current owners have undertaken significant improvements and extensions to both the cottage and the annexe.
The principal accommodation within the cottage is arranged over two floors and extends in all 1,344 sq.ft. A traditional living room is positioned at the front with a cosy wood-burning stove set within a stone fireplace and built-in cupboards surrounding. To the side, there is a versatile dual-aspect study overlooking the fields towards the front and garden at the rear. An excellent kitchen/dining room has been configured at the rear and is filled with natural light through glazed double patio doors and Velux windows above. The kitchen is set around a large breakfast bar island and is well-fitted with a range of integrated appliances. A practical utility room adjoins the kitchen complete with side access and a WC off. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms all with built-in storage and a family bathroom which has been fitted with a roll-top bath. The principal bedroom suite also benefits from an en-suite shower room.
Within the garden, lies the annexe – May’s Garden Cottage. The annexe has been used as a successful Air BnB and is positioned far away enough from the main house coupled with clever screening to provide both guests and the owners privacy. The annexe is self-contained complete with its own garden area and side gate access. Spanning over one level, the accommodation offers an additional 483 sq.ft. and comprises an open plan kitchen/living/breakfast room, two bedrooms, and a shower room. This excellent unit can facilitate a range of uses such as housing a dependent relative, or continue as a holiday let.
The gardens of the property have been meticulously well-maintained and thoughtfully landscaped. A large patio adjoins the rear of the house connecting to a lawn with a central path bound by lavender leading to the additional garden beside the annexe. A private gated driveway is located at the far end providing plenty of secure parking in addition to a double garage which has power connected.
Situation
The pretty unspoilt Cotswold village of Sopworth is situated amidst some delightful countryside close to the Gloucestershire border in the heart of Beaufort Country. Sopworth is about 6 miles south west of Tetbury and 6 miles west of Malmesbury. The village, which is set close to the heart of the Badminton Estate, has many fine old houses and cottages, most of which will have formed part of the Estate at some point. As such the village is largely protected by the surrounding park and farmland. Within striking distance are popular villages such as Sherston, which has a wide range of amenities, Westonbirt with its excellent school and renowned arboretum, and Didmarton with a popular pub. For shopping, Tetbury provides two supermarkets, many antique shops and fine food outlets. Bristol, Bath and Cirencester are within 23, 19 and 18 miles respectively. The surrounding countryside provides a wonderful source of walks and opportunities to ride. Sopworth adjoins Badminton Estate, the home of the Duke of Beaufort and the venue of the Badminton Horse Trials. There is a golf course at Westonbirt and an outstanding course at Minchinhampton.
