The Owners Love - “We absolutely loved our time living in our cottage, which offered a great combination of countryside living whilst only a stones throw from bigger places such as Swindon, Marlborough and Newbury. Our favourite times were al fresco dining in the courtyard area on a warm summer's evening and cosying up to the log burner in the winter. The village has a great selection of amenities such as the deli, post office, tea rooms, pubs and a Co Op all in one village and an active community with multiple events such as funfairs and music on the green throughout the year, which made it a joy to live there.” Kim Loves - "The current owners have done an amazing job in restoring this cottage to offer modern features, yet still with much charm. I adore the view of St Michael's Church from the lounge and bedroom; it's a very special view." Services: Gas central heating, mains electric, water and drainage.
