Detached house for sale in High Street, Cricklade, Swindon, Wiltshire SN6

A Grade ii-listed cottage situated directly on Cricklade’s vibrant High Street, with a separate annexe and extensive outbuildings.

Description
Built in the early 19th century, this Grade ii-listed detached cottage is a pretty, stone-built house with a slate roof, sash windows and plenty of character internally, such as brick and stone detailing, exposed beams and decorative plasterwork. The attractive home is ideally situated close to the centre of Cricklade and yet offers generous gardens, ample parking and a number of outbuildings which offer a huge amount of potential for development. The cottage is attractively presented in a traditional style with neutral colours throughout, and there are lovely views to the rear over the garden and the local church.

Separate to the main house there is a self-contained one-bedroom annexe which could be used as a holiday let, long-term rental or as accommodation for an au pair or older children. The additional block of outbuildings, currently used as a utility room, games room and office space offers extra scope for conversion to a further annexe.

The main residence is spacious and well presented, with accommodation over three floors comprising five reception rooms, a farmhouse-style kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en suite.

Outside
There is a gravel driveway to the side of the house which leads to the outbuilding, the detached annexe and a large detached garage/workshop. The driveway is gated and offers plenty of parking for all on a good-size parking area. The gardens are a good size and varied with a number of seating areas, mature trees including an impressive weeping willow, lawned spaces and a selection of well-stocked flowerbeds and borders.
