Grade II character cottage with period features in a Wiltshire village setting

Situated in the village of Collingbourne Ducis, this charming two-bedroom thatched cottage offers a characterful home with a wealth of period features and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. Exposed beams, traditional detailing and an impressive inglenook fireplace with a log burner contribute to its appeal, perfect for those seeking a countryside home.

The ground floor comprises a dual-aspect living room, separate dining room with access to the garden, fitted kitchen, an additional reception room offering potential as a home office, hobby room or bedroom, a useful utility area and a shower room. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms together with a family bathroom. Outside, the patioed garden provides space for outdoor seating and entertaining, with a layout designed for relatively straightforward maintenance.

Sunton enjoys a peaceful village setting surrounded by the Wiltshire countryside, with Collingbourne Ducis offering local amenities including a village shop, primary school, church and traditional public houses. Marlborough, approximately 10 miles away, provides a wider selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and leisure facilities, while Pewsey and Andover offer mainline railway connections towards London. The surrounding countryside provides opportunities for walking and cycling, with the North Wessex Downs and Salisbury Plain within the wider area.
