Detached house for sale in Grittleton, Chippenham SN14

Foscote Cottage is a delightful, detached property built in the early 19th century set along a quiet country lane in a sought after location. The property sits in grounds of circa 4.36 acres with stables and provides ample scope for improvement/extension (subject to planning).

The property enjoys spacious accommodation arranged over two floors and briefly comprises a large reception room with stairs leading to the first floor. This opens to the family room and dining room, which leads to the kitchen. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room.

The grounds extend beyond this providing ideal space for equestrian use with paddocks, separated by post and rail fencing and stabling. A driveway to the side of the property approaches an attached large triple garage (27'1"x19'4") which historically had planning permission to convert for ancillary use (now lapsed).
