About this property

A delightful semi-detached cottage adjacent to the wonderful countryside surrounding Lacock village with far reaching views. Full of period charm and offering two reception rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus gardens, parking and garage.

5 Nethercote Hill is the most charming four bedroom semi-detached cottage with a delightful cottage garden plus parking and a garage. To find a Freehold property in this idyllic village preserved, and mainly owned by the National Trust is a rare find. To find a pretty stone built cottage that has been sympathetically extended over the years, but not Listed, is even more scarce. On the ground floor, there is a choice of two reception rooms with the sitting room retaining an impressive stone fireplace with a wood burning stove. The kitchen is located at the heart of the house fitted with a handmade wooden kitchen and room for a breakfast table or for larger gatherings, the adjacent dining room is perfect; both have access into the garden. There are two wings for the bedrooms, one housing two bedrooms, both with wonderful views and served by the family bathrooms. The garden wing has two further bedrooms and a shower room.

Outside
To the side of the cottage is a gravel drive providing private parking and leading to an open stone and clay tile garage with one bay, and an adjacent workshop. The garden is a real joy with plenty of seating areas designed to relax and view different angles of planting. A stone terrace adjacent to the house is a wonderful spot for dining with easy access to the kitchen and dining room. Flowerbeds and box hedging divide it from the level lawn. At the far end, an ancient apple tree takes centre stage with attractive herbaceous borders and a seating area to sit and listen to the bird song. There is a further wild garden area. Outside your front door is a gate across the lane for you to step out and make the most of the surrounding countryside.

Situation
Nethercote Hill is located through the picturesque streets of Lacock, and via a pretty ford at the base of the hill. No 5 is the last house at the peak of the hill and therefore benefits from being adjacent to the local farmland and enjoys far reaching views. Set in rural Wiltshire, this National Trust village of Lacock is famous for its pretty lanes, historic buildings, beautiful Abbey, Fox Talbot museum of photography, and more recently used as a TV and film location. Within this unique village, there is an active community plus local primary school, a choice popular public houses, post office and a grocery store. There is easy access to Junction 17 of the M4 motorway via the A350, which in itself allows speedy travel to Swindon, London and Bath. There is a direct line to London, Paddington at Chippenham railway station.
