Attractive detached residence with the benefit of an extensive refurbishment and loft conversion

Charming three-bedroom detached cottage-style home in the centre of the well-regarded village of Lyneham

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Stone Wall Cottage had the benefit of a full refurbishment and loft conversion in 2023 carried out by the current owners to the highest standards, complemented by pretty gardens and gravelled off-street parking
Originally the house was built on the site of a tin tabernacle, also known as an iron church, which was flattened in the 1970’s and rebuilt in a better position to take advantage of the lovely local views, with the original chapel gate still in use by the back door
Ground floor bedroom
The light and airy hall has travertine flooring and a good feeling of space, with stairs raising to the first floor
Open-plan kitchen/dining room offering a selection of wall and base units with integrated appliances, underfloor heating and travertine flooring
Across the hallway is the dual aspect sitting room with a central feature fireplace and oak wooden flooring
Additional reception room, offering a number of uses
On the far-side of the kitchen area is the downstairs cloakroom, additional single bedroom and a rear hall, providing access to the main street and the rear of the property, where the vendors have created a delightful gravelled area for a small table and chairs, with a productive apple tree by the back door
To the first floor, as part of the renovation works, the newly completed loft conversion provides two spacious double bedrooms with roof lights, which are both serviced by the well-appointed family bathroom with underfloor heating and rain-shower
Above bedroom three is very useful loft storage
