Property Description
Why you'll like it Victoria Cottage is the middle in a row of three cottages, thought to have been built by the Longleat Estate in around 1875. This deceptively spacious cottage sits in an elevated position, set back from the quiet road.
This beautifully presented Victorian cottage has been a much-cherished family home for over a decade by the current owners, and the carefully designed and decorated interior shows a lot of thought has gone into maximising the space of the cottage whilst retaining a wealth of period features and charm.
Through a pretty porch that offers useful storage for shoes and boots, the original front door leads straight into the spacious sitting room which has wooden floors and an exposed brick chimney breast with powerful wood burner and floor to ceiling built in shelves to one side.
The wooden floor continues as you step down into the cosy kitchen. The modern built in units have wooden worktops and feature a large ceramic Belfast sink as well as integrated dishwasher, fridge, freezer, electric oven and gas hob. There is plenty of clever hidden storage in this kitchen including an under-stairs pantry, built in seating with storage underneath and a large floor-to-ceiling cupboard "hidden" in the panelling. This cosy kitchen has exposed beams, clever lighting and space for a 6-seater dining table.
A fantastic brick floor in the kitchen leads to a useful utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and a modern family bathroom which is fully tiled and has a shower over the bath.
Heading back to the sitting room, an original panelled wooden door leads to the hallway which has space for coat storage. Off the hallway, a study has been created. This space is small but perfectly formed and offers a great space for working from home.
The stairs curve upwards past built in bookshelves, to the three bedrooms. The master double room has windows to the front and rear, the original Victorian fireplace and plenty of room for clothes storage. The second bedroom could fit a double or two singles and has access to useful storage over the stairwell. The third is a sunny bedroom at the rear of the house overlooking the garden. This too could fit a double bed but is currently used as a single and has access to attic storage above.
The cottage benefits from a modern gas combi boiler and double glazed windows.
The enclosed south facing rear garden is on two levels: the lower level offers a huge sense of privacy and is a gravelled area which is perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing in the sun, and is a perfect oasis in the summer months. The upper part is mainly laid to lawn, with established boarders and a shed.
The front garden is elevated from the road and surrounded by mature hedges and picket fence. Access to the house is through the neighbouring front garden. The house also has right of way across the rear of the neighbouring property, but neither neighbour has access over this property.
Parking is unallocated on street, with plenty of space available on Lower Westbury Road and Rosenhiem Rise. The quiet road does mean it is easily possible to park outside the house for loading and unloading.
Bratton is a much sought-after village with a school, preschool, village shop, doctors surgery and pub. A playground is located centrally in the village with a cricket and football field close by. The village has a thriving community and is located on the edge of Salisbury Plain, offering miles of countryside walks as well as being only a short drive to Westbury for mainline rail services and local shops and supermarkets.
Property location
Bratton is a popular village offering many amenities, all within walking distance of the house, including: a doctor's surgery, Primary School, Playgroup, Village Shop and Post Office, Pub, Church Hall and the Jubilee Community Hall. In the centre of the village is a large village green with children's' play area and picnic tables. It is a perfect family village location. The neighbouring town of Westbury is some three miles distance with town centre shopping and a main line railway station with services to London Paddington. The large towns of Devizes, Trowbridge, Chippenham, Salisbury, Swindon and Bath are all within a thirty mile radius.
