Externally, as we have mentioned before, there is a lovely paved cottage garden. Again finished to a very high standard with Cotswold style paving, a variety of raised beds and borders filled with a variety of plants and colour. There is a delightful round summerhouse/greenhouse with glass roof and a useful stone built work shed with storage and work bench. A gate to the front opens up onto your parking area for 2 cars, with a further turning/parking space opposite next to the green. The location, although hidden away is still very convenient, with a bus stop on the Bath road a few steps away, the village of Shaw with the sought after primary school, golf and cricket club, village hall, and active church. A short walk further is Whitley village with the acclaimed Pear Tree Inn and miles of countryside walks on your doorstep. A little further towards Atworth is the incredibly popular Lowden garden centre and Farm shop, Il Vello d‘Oro Italian and in Atworth itself, the award winning White Hart, which is the community hub of Atworth village with a wide variety of events. A real hidden gem but in easy reach of local villages as well as Corsham and Melksham. Transport links are excellent to Bath/Bristol, the M4 at Chippenham and train services are available from Melksham (approx. A mile away) or Chippenham. The Bus service runs to Bath or Devizes along this route and time to Bath driving will surprise you at about 20 minutes. Overall, a superb opportunity to buy a little piece of history in a convenient location. Back to listing

Description
Ref: JM0133 What a beauty! If you are looking for quirky or character but also with space rarely seen in a cottage, then this beautifully presented property is definitely worth an early viewing. Set off the Bath road and tucked away in an area set around a green space amongst other similar conversions, this property and it‘s location is a bit of a hidden secret. Dating back past early 1800, when the property was part of the Malthouse for the brewery alongside, the long buildings have been tastefully converted and this offers an opportunity to own a piece of that history. Generously proportioned, paved cottage gardens lead to the front door which opens up to a large and spacious 3 double bedroom home. On entering through the front door, you are greeted by a lovely entrance lobby with tiled floor and access to a useful downstairs cloakroom which also houses the recently replaced gas heating boiler. Double doors then open up into a spacious, open plan style Living space. At 32ft x 26ft maximum dimensions, this area wraps around a central staircase and offers enough space for a sitting area, set around a central fireplace, a large dining room, with access to the kitchen and further hall and study areas. Light floods through the double glazed sash windows which are beautifully dressed with plantation style shutters. The lovely low window boards make excellent window seats! The stone fireplace makes a gorgeous cosy focal point, and although not connected by a flue the wood burner style inset fire gives that authentic character you‘d expect, without the mess of a real fire. Towards the rear of this space is the perfect area for a large dining table, with the door through to a generous Kitchen/Breakfast room. This large and spacious kitchen breakfast room is fitted with a huge range of painted wood kitchen cupboards with a wooden worktop over and houses a double eye level oven, Gas hob, area for eye level microwave, space for dishwasher and a large gap for an American style fridge/freezer. In addition there is plenty of space for a sizeable kitchen table to gather for breakfast or a coffee. The checkerboard tiled floor adds that little bit of "va va voom" and gives a lovely finish to a light and bright room. Double and acoustically glazed windows are fitted along this rear section of the property keeping the cottage lovely and quiet inside. Double doors from the kitchen then lead back through to the open plan hallway/living space. In the side of this room, there is plenty of space for a desk if you would like to create a home office area. Storage is also not an issue downstairs, with a large double hall cupboard with hanging space for coats and shoes, a further bolthole cupboard under the stairs and an under stairs cupboard accessed from the kitchen. The central staircase takes you up onto a the first landing area. Here you have another set of stairs on both sides. The first one takes you up to the left where you will find the master suite. Here you have a large characterful double bedroom, with built in eaves cupboards, plenty of space for wardrobes and dormer window overlooking the gardens. A small hall takes you through to what I can only describe as an enormous en suite ! Despite the restricted head height to the back, all areas are easily accessible, it is fitted with a tasteful white suite, and large corner shower. All are in keeping with the age of the property and in immaculate condition and the large velux floods the room with natural light, The other set of stairs to the right of the half landing, take you up to a further two double bedrooms and bathroom. The first double is set under the eaves slopes and has two huge velux windows. You can imagine lying in bed looking at the stars ! As such a long and large room, there is still space for plenty of wardrobes and storage. The other double room is set towards the garden side and is plenty big enough for a double bed and also has some built in eaves and storage cupboards. Set between the two is the family bathroom, again tastefully fitted and benefits from a mixer shower over the bath and a useful storage cupboard. All, as everything in the home is, decorated to a high standard and in keeping with the character and history of this period home.Externally, as we have mentioned before, there is a lovely paved cottage garden.
