This charming period semi-detached cottage, built in traditional Cotswold stone, is tucked away within a peaceful conservation area in the picturesque village of North Wraxall, just a short drive from Bath.

Believed to date back several centuries, White Cottage offers a quintessential ‘chocolate box’ setting, surrounded by beautiful countryside yet with excellent access to Chippenham, Bristol the M4 and direct rail links to London. Purchased in 2020, the property has since undergone a comprehensive programme of improvements, including a new kitchen and bathroom, damp treatment, full replastering and the installation of a new shared septic tank in line with current regulations. ‘It’s a true chocolate-box cottage in a stunning location – peaceful, surrounded by nature, yet incredibly well connected,’ says the owner.

The layout is both practical and inviting, with a kitchen/diner forming the heart of the home and stairs positioned centrally, leading to the first floor. A spacious sitting room offers a comfortable retreat, while upstairs there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. ‘The bathroom is a real highlight – the bath looks out over the fields, which feels very special,’ the owner adds.

Outside, a raised patio creates a lovely space for entertaining, while a small additional parcel of woodland nearby offers further potential—whether for practical use or simply as a quiet escape. ‘This could be developed for nature watching or have a shepherds hut installed,’ comments the owner. The surrounding countryside provides endless opportunities for walking, riding and enjoying nature, all from the doorstep. The hamlet itself is steeped in history, with a church mentioned in the Domesday Book and a strong sense of community. Nearby Marshfield offers excellent amenities, including a primary school, shop, pubs, and more.

‘It’s a unique cottage in a sought-after location, perfect as a home or an investment with strong rental appeal.’

‘Both sets of tenants absolutely loved living here and would have happily stayed – it’s such a friendly, welcoming area.’

‘There are beautiful walks right from the doorstep, including a lovely route down an old track to The White Hart at Ford.’

‘The raised patio makes it a great space for entertaining in the warmer months.’

‘North Wraxall is such a special place, with the bonus of an active village hall offering a wide range of activities.’
