Description

This detached period cottage, known as Hillside, presents a unique chance for investors or homeowners looking to create a bespoke residence in a picturesque locale. Set on a generous 0.74-acre plot to the south west of Royal Wootton Bassett, the property comes with a sizeable double garage that could serve multiple purposes, including additional storage or workshop space. The expansive grounds surrounding the cottage offer ample potential for extension or landscaping improvements, pending appropriate planning permissions. The traditional red brick cottage features classic elements throughout its two-storey design. While it currently requires extensive renovation due to its state of disrepair, it serves as an ideal blank canvas for revitalization into a modern family home. Inside, the layout includes a kitchen, dining room, and sitting areas on the ground floor alongside three bedrooms and a study upstairs—totaling approximately 94.3 sqm (1,015 sqft). Although mains water and electricity are available at the site, these utilities have been disconnected following recent issues. A septic tank is present but presently non-operational. The overgrown garden may obscure property boundaries and will require attention. Hillside's location boasts convenient access to local amenities and reputable schools while benefiting from proximity to transport links such as J16 of the M4 and nearby train stations in Chippenham and Swindon. This property stands out as an investment opportunity ripe for development.
