An attractive three bedroom period cottage with four reception rooms situated in the popular village of Holt.

Located between Bradford-on-Avon and Melksham the linear village of Holt hosts a mix of properties spanning several eras and The Courts Garden, a splendid classic early 20th century garden belonging to the National Trust. Conveniently located for easy access to many of Wiltshire’s market towns it boasts an excellent primary school, two public houses, Wiltshire’s oldest football club and Glove Factory Studios, a workspace hub for start-ups, creative entrepreneurs and independent professionals. Courts View is a charming property dating back 200 years which has been subject to huge improvement by the current owners. ‘We instantly fell in love with the cottage, which has an interesting history relating to the Courts, however it needed some renovation and modernisation to make it comfortable. We knocked down an old lean-to and added a beautiful garden room, downstairs utility room and a bathroom. When the builders started levelling the floor in the kitchen, they discovered a well. As you can imagine, this caused great excitement! We have exposed it and covered it with glass so it can be enjoyed daily.’ explain owners Jeremy and Gillie.

‘We were attracted to the property because it looks so pretty and is in a perfect location. The Walk is very private and peaceful and is opposite the beautiful Courts gardens. The atmosphere and feeling of the place made us feel at home straight away.’

‘Favourite rooms include The Jane Austen Room and the garden room; nothing beats a coffee in the former on a bright spring morning or cosying up in front of the log burner in the latter.’

‘When we bought the property, the garden had a strange layout which was divided into three sections, so we stripped it back and created the garden we have now. It has a studio at the end and is just the right size to be manageable while having space to keep chickens and grow vegetables.’

‘There’s plenty to keep one busy in Holt, from classes at Glove Factory Studios to having free resident access to The Courts and endless country walks. The brilliant local shop and post office act as a great community hub.’

‘The village is very sought-after with some exciting new developments happening in the Glove Factory area. Holt is conveniently close to Bradford-on-Avon with its railway station, good restaurants, cafés and vibrant creative community.’
