With its captivating appearance and symmetrical sash windows, Sun Cottage offers immediate visual appeal. Internally, it is far from being a cottage. Period features are thoughtfully combined with carefully considered modern additions in this substantial home, well suited to contemporary living.

The elegant presentation is apparent on entry, with a generous dining hall with elm flooring and intricately carved Georgian fireplace leading to three principal reception areas, each offering a comfortable and versatile arrangement. Features including attractive fireplaces, exposed timbers and brickwork, together with parquet flooring, contribute to the property’s inherent character.

A subtle change in level leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room, well designed for everyday living and entertaining, with an Aga, island unit, panelled cabinetry, wooden worktops, a Belfast sink and space for informal dining. Beyond, a boot room leads to a useful utility room, shower and cloakroom facilities, together with doors to the garden, woodshed and workshop.

The first floor provides four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite facilities, in addition to a family bathroom, with a split-level landing adding interest to the layout.

Further accommodation is found within a charming annexe wing, which forms part of the sheltered courtyard around the heated pool. This has been carefully designed to provide a kitchen and sitting area with a shower room and double bedroom. This building also incorporates a plant room and an additional store room.

The gardens form a particular feature of the property, having been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of distinct areas. Pathways meander through well-stocked borders, with a sheltered terrace positioned around the heated swimming pool, ideal for outdoor seating. Additional features include a paved seating area, a timber arbour, a natural pond with rockery planting, a greenhouse, storage and a dedicated kitchen garden area, all set amongst an established collection of shrubs, perennials and mature trees.

Off street parking for multiple vehicles is provided to the front of the property, where planting enhances the overall setting.

NB: Planning permission has been granted for a two story extension to extend the downstairs living accommodation and add a master en-suite with dressing area on the first floor (Wiltshire Council: PL/2025/02650).
