Description
15 Thompsons Hill is an exceptionally pretty double-fronted Grade II Listed detached Georgian cottage, situated on the edge of the sought-after village of Sherston with the benefit of a large garden and an orchard extending to approximately 0.65 acres. Constructed in the late 1700s and then again in the early 19th Century, the property has retained its character throughout having been in the same ownership for over 30 years and today it subsequently would benefit form some updating and modernisation.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors, extending to around 1,337 sq.ft. And filled with charm including stone fireplaces, exposed timber beams, and sash windows with shutters. The ground floor includes two traditional front reception rooms plus a dining room at the rear, open plan to the kitchen/breakfast room which has a beamed vaulted ceiling. There is a cellar below for storage. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a generous bathroom which also has a high-pitched ceiling. The magnificent attic room with its array of beams, is currently accessed via the principal bedroom and has the potential to create two bedrooms.
Extending to around 0.65 acres, the extensive gardens are a great feature of the property sloping up the hill towards the adjoining countryside to include an orchard. Within the grounds there are various older outbuildings/sheds and there is a carport off the lane, providing off-road parking.
Situation
The beautiful, ancient and much sought after village of Sherston with its broad High Street and historic stone houses is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty conveniently located on the edge of the Cotswolds. Sherston has a thriving community and offers many facilities, including a church, popular primary school, doctors surgery, Co-op shop and post office, coffee shops, hairdresser, Indian restaurant, garden centre and the highly regarded 16th century Rattlebone Inn, with its excellent food and friendly atmosphere. The facilities and amenities in Sherston more than adequately provide for everyday need with a whole host of societies and clubs meeting on a regular basis offering entertainment and social events for young and old alike. Schooling locally is second to none, with very good state and independent schools providing transport to and from the village on a daily basis. Close by are the market towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury which are both approximately 5 miles away. Malmesbury is reputed to be the oldest Borough in the country dating back to the 11th Century. Both towns offer a wider range of shops, services, schooling and leisure facilities. There are main line stations to London-Paddington at Kemble (14 miles) and Chippenham (12 miles) whilst Junctions 17 & 18 of the M4 are both within 15 minutes' drive providing convenient access to Bath, Bristol and Swindon.
