Presenting a unique opportunity to own a historical cottage, dating back to the 17th century, this property blends character and potential. Rectory Cottage has been cherished by the same family since 1932 and carries with it a rich local heritage, previously owned by the Bolingbroke family. Nestled within a generous plot, there is significant potential for expansion and enhancement, with opportunities for a building plot or lodge at the rear of the garden (subject to necessary permissions). Inside, charming original features such as exposed beams and fireplaces create an inviting atmosphere. The ground floor comprises a spacious kitchen/dining area, utility room, convenient downstairs W.C., and a conservatory that opens to the expansive garden. A dual aspect living room ensures ample natural light, complemented by an additional study or hobby room for versatile use. The first floor includes a well-sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, while the second floor offers a snug single bedroom. The property boasts extensive gardens both front and back, providing privacy and tranquility, along with driveway parking and garage access through a gated entrance. Notably, an original well adds to the charm of this delightful setting. Located in Lydiard Millicent—a coveted village in Wiltshire—you’ll enjoy local amenities including a pub, primary school, and village hall while being just moments away from further conveniences in Swindon and Royal Wootton Bassett.
