A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage offering an abundance of character situated in a no-through lane in the hamlet of hook c1mile from Royal Wootton Bassett and c3miles from junction 16 of the M4. Believed to date back to around 1730 when we are led to believe it to have been originally two cottages, this beautifully presented property sits on a generous and private plot with side and rear gardens and ample off road parking with a large timber framed garage/workshop. The property provides generous and flexible accommodation to the ground floor which comprises a hall, a snug with inglenook fireplace and wonderful flagstone flooring, a lounge with a further fireplace and double doors to the dining room extension/ground floor bedroom which we understand was added c20-25 years ago. The kitchen enjoys views over the side garden and benefits from an integral oven and hob with open door access to the useful and spacious utility room/rear lobby. To the first floor are two wonderfully sized double bedrooms with limited headroom adding to the charm of this dwelling. Modern attributes include mains drainage and mains gas radiator central heating. If its charm and character you desire, then look no further.
