An opportunity to purchase an attractive Grade II Listed, semi-detached cottage, pleasantly located within the hamlet of Wraxall. The property offers three double bedrooms, a generous south-facing garden (total plot approx. 0.20 acre), a rural outlook, a single garage and off-road parking. Requiring some renovation. Available to purchase with no onward chain.

A door to the front of the cottage opens into an entrance porch, which in turn leads through to a central hallway. To one side of the property, there is a well-proportioned, dual-aspect sitting room which enjoys plenty of natural light. To the other, a separate dining room which has alcove storage, is open to an adjoining kitchen at the rear of the property. In need of some updating, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden fronted floor and wall units, the kitchen offers space for a freestanding cooker and white goods, and has three windows to the rear. A rear hall on the ground floor has an under-stairs cupboard, gives external access to the back of the cottage and also leads to a WC.

On the first floor, there are three good size double bedrooms; the first and second bedrooms benefitting from a lovely rural outlook to the front of the property. In addition, there is a family bathroom fitted with a panelled bath with a shower over and tiling around, a low level WC and a pedestal wash hand basin. 

Outside:

The property benefits from surrounding gardens to the rear, side and in particular to the front, which is an excellent size and south-facing, enjoying plenty of sunshine throughout the day. 

A shared driveway to the side of the adjoining cottage gives access to a single garage (the right hand garage of the pair) which has an 'up and over' door and provides useful storage. There is off-road parking available directly in front. Gated access beside the garage then leads through to the rear of the cottage, with steps to the back door. Furthermore, there is a lockable outside store which adjoins the back of the property.

Agents note:

We are also marketing the adjoining cottage, 1 Hill Farm Cottages, for sale on behalf of our clients. Further information can be provided upon request. Both properties are available to purchase at the same time and the price for each property would then become £275,000. The properties are not yet registered with land registry and therefore this will need to be done during the conveyancing process.
