Nestled in the Wiltshire countryside and set within approximately six acres of its own land, this stunning detached period home and separate two-bedroom self-contained cottage in its own grounds, dating back to the 1600s, is a rural idyll offering character and comfort in equal measure. Completely transformed from a small, two-bedroom cottage with an extension doubling the main property’s footprint and with internal renovations, it has been used by the current owner as a successful group stay holiday let. Located within the small hamlet of Baldham on the outskirts of Seend, the property enjoys easy access to several Wiltshire market towns and the heritage city of Bath. The owners say, ‘we've used it as holiday accommodation sleeping sixteen; guests love the size and feel of the property with many booking again and again.’ They add, ‘the garden is wonderfully private and surrounded by trees, and to sit back in the hot tub and listen to the birdsong and babbling brook nearby is wonderful.’ A front lobby leads into the ground floor, featuring a triple-aspect kitchen/dining room with integrated appliances, ample seating, and bi-fold doors to the garden terrace. The main staircase, accessed from the kitchen, leads to the first floor, here you will find four bedrooms, three with an en-suite. On the ground floor are two bedrooms, one with an en suite, however one could easily be used as a home office.

The land features open grazing with fenced and hedged boundaries, a field shelter, and a paddock, while the gardens are laid out in a formal style with a flagstone terrace for alfresco entertaining. ‘When one arrives and sees the cottage it feels like a sanctuary – the cottage has real “wow” factor.’ ‘The house is wonderfully private with views across fields, capturing both sunrises and sunsets.’ ‘The kitchen/diner is spacious and light with patio doors opening directly to the garden, making it ideal for the summer.’ "On colder days, the sitting room with its inglenook fireplace and roaring fire is the perfect place to cosy up.’ ‘With a fairly wide brook dividing us, the Thatched Cottage enjoys a good level of privacy.’ ‘The village, a 10-minute walk away, boasts two pubs, a junior school, a social centre, a church, a post office/shop/coffee shop, and a programme of community events.’ Additional Information Postcode: SN12 6PW Local Authority: Wiltshire Council Tax Band: Main house is currently under business rates.
