3 bed detached house for sale

Berricott Lane, Badbury, Wiltshire SN4

Steeped in history and brimming with character, Christmas Cottage is a charming, detached, Grade II listed period home, believed to date back to 1410, with the dining room section added around 1906 when two original cottages were thoughtfully combined to create the wonderful home seen today. Occupying an enviable position in the highly desirable hamlet of Badbury, this unique part-thatched cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property rich in heritage whilst benefiting from versatile modern living.

The accommodation is full of period features, including exposed beams, attractive fireplaces and a wealth of character throughout. The cosy sitting room forms the heart of the home, complete with an impressive log-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting space ideal for relaxing evenings. The separate dining room provides an excellent setting for entertaining and dining, while the country-style kitchen and beautifully presented family bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms which could be accessed by either sets of stairs located on each side of the cottage, each bedroom enjoying the charm and individuality expected from a cottage of this age. With the added benefit of a jack and jill style shower room separating the two rooms.

A particular highlight of the property is the self-contained one bedroom annexe, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or a home office. The annexe could also be converted back into a garage if preferred. To the rear of the annexe are a number of substantial attached storage rooms, providing excellent storage, workshop space or further potential for a variety of uses.

Externally, Christmas Cottage enjoys a delightful garden, providing a peaceful setting to enjoy the surrounding countryside. To the front, an expansive gravel driveway offers off-road parking for at least three vehicles, a valuable feature for a property of this nature.

Combining centuries of history, charming character features, versatile ancillary accommodation and generous parking, Christmas Cottage presents a truly unique opportunity to acquire a distinctive home in one of the area's most sought-after rural locations.
