Description

This intriguing semi-detached period cottage in the heart of Grittleton offers a unique opportunity for renovation and restoration. Having been unoccupied since the 1980s, the property is ripe for a complete overhaul, allowing for a personal touch to be added to its historic charm. Built in the early 19th century as part of the Neeld Estate, this Grade II listed cottage showcases character features such as iron lattice windows and barge boarded detailing. Spanning two floors and extending to 869 sq.ft, the layout includes two reception rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. Notably, there is evidence of a former lean-to extension at the rear, which is now in a dilapidated state. The property also boasts a walled garden at the rear, with additional space available to the side and front. Convenient on-street parking is readily accessible outside. Grittleton is a peaceful North Wiltshire village known for its strong community spirit and amenities, including The Neeld Arms public house and local sports clubs. Nearby towns like Chippenham and Malmesbury offer more extensive facilities, while Bath and Bristol are just a short drive away. This property presents an excellent chance for those looking to invest in a project that combines historical significance with modern living potential.

Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This intriguing semi-detached period cottage in Grittleton presents a compelling opportunity for buyers willing to undertake a substantial renovation project. With an asking price of £225,000, which is significantly below the local average of £373/sqf, this property is priced attractively, allowing for potential value creation. The cottage, steeped in historic charm, features character details such as iron lattice windows and barge boarded detailing that could shine with the right restoration.

However, it’s essential to note that all-in costs, combining purchase and refurbishment, appear tight against local benchmarks. The property has not been occupied since the 1980s and shows extensive damage throughout, including significant wear in the living areas and a kitchen that requires complete updating. This is a heavy renovation project that will demand a well-planned budget and timeline. The opportunity to enhance the walled garden and restore the interior and layout makes it an attractive prospect for those looking to invest in a characterful home with potential.

Key opportunities

  • The historic character features such as iron lattice windows and barge boarded detailing can be restored to enhance the property's charm.
  • The walled garden offers a blank canvas for landscaping, adding outdoor appeal.
  • The layout allows for creative reconfiguration of space, maximizing the potential of the two reception rooms and bedrooms.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
