Property description
Garden Cottage is a handsome Cotswold stone barn conversion set in the peaceful hamlet of Norton, beautifully refurbished throughout while retaining a wealth of original character.
This wonderful rural retreat on the edge of the South Cotswolds is within easy reach of Malmesbury and with excellent commuter links to the M4 and Chippenham mainline rail station.
Available on a long-term let from mid-September.
Description - Set in the quiet hamlet of Norton, Garden Cottage is a detached Cotswold stone barn conversion that has been carefully refurbished while keeping much of what makes it special — flagstone floors, exposed beams and stonework, traditional fireplaces, and a real sense of history throughout. The accommodation is generous, running to around 2,082 sq ft over two floors with a handy attic above for storage.
You enter through an impressive hall with a galleried staircase leading up. The main reception room is a lovely space, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the garden and a feature fireplace. The kitchen has been refitted sympathetically, with timber units, a Rayburn, gas cooker and integrated appliances, and flows naturally into a dining room that opens onto the garden via patio doors. A utility room and WC sit alongside.
Upstairs there are four good-sized bedrooms, two with their own en-suites, and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath.
Situation - Garden Cottage sits in the quiet hamlet of Norton, just 4 miles from Malmesbury and 3 miles from the village of Sherston, with the renowned Vine Tree pub within easy walking distance.
Malmesbury is a genuinely special town — an ancient hilltop settlement on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, reputedly the oldest borough in England, created by Royal Charter in 880 AD by Alfred the Great. Recently voted the Best Place to Live in the Southwest of England by The Sunday Times, it's easy to see why. The high street has a good mix of independent shops, pubs and restaurants alongside a Waitrose and a regular farmers' market, with well-regarded primary and secondary schools and plenty of recreational facilities nearby.
For commuters, Junction 17 of the M4 is just a short drive south, providing fast access to Bristol, Swindon and beyond. Mainline rail services are available from both Chippenham and Kemble, with trains reaching London Paddington in around 75 minutes.
