The Old Carriers Cottage was originally constructed of local Chilmark stone during the 1700's as a pair of Fonthill Estate cottages but has since been tastefully modified, extended and upgraded to now present a simply fabulous, Grade II listed Wiltshire village residence. With over 2500 sq. ft (including garage) of flexible, high quality accommodation, this stunning cottage provides exceptional living spaces as well as characterful, charming original features throughout. The beautiful accommodation which is arranged over two floors includes an entrance porch, large dual aspect family/dining room with fireplace, kitchen with ample room for a table, a further more cosy sitting room, again with a fireplace, separate utility room and downstairs shower room, four bedrooms, and a large bathroom with both bath and shower. A further area to the first floor provides a wonderful space for a library, or hobbies area. Externally there is a single garage, off-road driveway parking and gardens to the side and rear, with views over the rooftops and countryside beyond.

To the front of this very handsome property is a tarmacadam driveway that provides ample off-road parking as well as access to the garage which benefits from power and lighting. The front of Old Carriers is very pleasing to the eye with climbing roses, and an established wisteria that provides a heart-warming welcome upon arrival. A set of tiered steps lead to the beautiful cottage style rear garden which has been meticulously developed and maintained over years of thoughtful ownership and is simply wonderful. With numerous, colourful and vibrant planting beds, further rose climbers, perfectly stocked beds and specimen trees the garden can be enjoyed throughout the seasons and offers a private, peaceful outside space. The garden can also be accessed from the rear of the house where a spacious paved patio and raised decking is present providing an ideal spot for entertaining, with views over the village rooftops and the countryside beyond.
