A charming, double-fronted thatched cottage in the picturesque village of Potterne, Wiltshire, is for sale.
Dating back to the 17th century, the current owners have sympathetically restored Yew Tree Cottage, transforming it into a characterful home with tasteful and modern interiors. If the thatched roof, traditionally shaped windows, and picture-perfect facade alone didn't make this home look like it came straight out of a fairy tale, then the neat garden surely seals the deal.
On the ground floor, doors from the entrance hallway lead to both principal reception rooms. The original pine floorboards have been stripped back and waxed in both, while the living room features an inglenook fireplace with a limestone surround and Elm beam.
Elsewhere, there's also a conservatory for making the most of any sunshine on a chilly winter's day. This floor is completed by a large kitchen, which offers a bespoke Neptune suite with Venetian White quartz work surfaces and a large central island. It's the perfect place for entertaining and dining.
"This dreamy country cottage charmed us from the moment we saw it! We love the long walks in the glorious countryside and coming home to a cosy sitting room with a roaring log fire. We enjoy the abundant local wildlife and rural views from the garden across to the foothills of Bath. The advantage of the location enables us to enjoy a country lifestyle with the proximity of key cities for hybrid working," say the current owners.
Set within a conservation area, Yew Tree Cottage is within moments of all village amenities, including shops, pubs, a church, post office, and picture-perfect countryside walks.
