Turnpike Road, Blunsdon, Swindon, SN26

*** GUIDE PRICE: £325,000 – £350,000 *** This charming two-bedroom detached character cottage, dating back to 1852, has been thoughtfully modernized in recent years and not only offers a spacious interior, but also off-road parking and a good-size garden!

Approach this quaint little cottage on the outskirts of Swindon in the historic village of Blunsdon and you will find a storm porch leading into the dining room, which is open-plan to the kitchen. A door to the left connects to the living room, and open-plan stairs provide access to the first floor. The living room, with windows on two sides, features an striking fireplace with newly fitted wood burner. The dual-aspect dining room is fully open to the kitchen, which is also dual-aspect, houses the boiler, and leads to the rear lobby. From the rear lobby, there is access to a lovely four-piece bathroom and a rear porch.

Upstairs you are greeted by two bedrooms, with the second bedroom featuring two built-in cupboards and the first bedroom featuring an original fireplace.

Outside, the property benefits from secure gated driveway parking at the rear for two vehicles. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature hedgerows, and offers a pleasant Pergola at the bottom of the garden. A footpath encircling the property provides secure side access both sides. A pedestrian gate provides access from the main road to the front door.

Blunsdon village benefits from a community run shop and two public houses, in addition to Flame Restaurant and many leisure facilities at the Blunsdon House Hotel. There is a local school, St Leonards CE Primary, and both Warneford secondary school in Highworth (4 miles) and Farmors secondary school in Fairford (10 miles) have bus services running through the village. With good road links via the A419 to the M5 and M4, and Swindon railway and bus stations, circa five miles, providing regular links to London (within an hour) this is a superb opportunity to get the best of both worlds just outside the main Town.
