NO ONWARD CHAIN! Originally two cottages dating back to the 1800s and now combined into one, this fully detached home is found on the picturesque Back Lane where you will find an assortment of individual character homes. The property has been in the same family for circa 60 years and is now offered as an exciting blank canvas for the new owners to modernise and put on their own stamp! When you enter the property, you walk through a small snug in order to get to the rear where you will find a separate dining room and kitchen. From the kitchen you enter a good size lounge that looks over the front, whilst from the dining room you lead into a rear lobby that gives access to a downstairs utility / shower room and a rear porch and courtyard, which has a small area for seating and pot plants, plus access to 2 built-in store cupboards. Upstairs there are four cottage size bedrooms and a small family bathroom. From the rear courtyard a stairway provides access to a roof top terrace seating area which is above the porch, utility/shower room and store cupboards. Coming with the cottage you have a small outdoor area adjacent to the garage which is found on the OTHER SIDE of the neighbour's driveway (which runs alongside the property). There is garage parking (please ask for details) plus room for bins and behind the garage there is a secure storage shed. Please note there is not a traditional garden with the cottage, but there is a lovely roof terrace garden, a private courtyard that leads off from the dining room and some flower beds that are adjacent to the garage and storage shed opposite.

Area Description

With countryside surrounds and a quaint conservation High Street dating back to the 15th century, Wickwar has its own Public House, High Street Social Club, café, hairdressers and youth centre. There are also village playing fields just a stroll from the centre of the village, many local country walks and the picturesque Holy Trinity Church which has a beautiful location just north of the village. Alexander Hosea Primary School is in the village and is very popular, whilst there are several secondary schools in the area which are also of good reputation including the nearby, Katharine Lady Berkeley's Secondary School which is in the catchment for most of the village. Wickwar is also ideal for commuters as the M4 Junction 18 is circa 8.7 miles to the south (passing by Chipping Sodbury) whilst the M5 Junction 14 is only 4.5 miles to the north-west. Chipping Sodbury and Yate are only a short drive away and have many shops, a selection of supermarkets, sports facilities and a train station with direct lines to Bristol and Gloucester.

Directions

Arriving in Wickwar from Chipping Sodbury, take the right turning into Back Lane shortly after Inglestone Road. Follow the lane around the sharp left and after a short distance you will see number 8 on your left. (Back Lane is also accessible from North Street which runs alongside the Fox and Maple Public House). Parking is restricted to just ONE car so advisable to park in the High Street, North Road, or even Inglestone Road from where there is a walk through.
