    About this property

    • Wood Lane Cottage is a characterful, stone Grade II listed cottage, situated in the oldest part of the delightful village of Tingewick. Owned by the current vendors for nearly 20 years, the property has been sympathetically modernised and maintained over time, providing utterly charming and unique accommodation throughout.

      The property is thought to date back to the late 17th century, and a wealth of period features have been retained, still to be admired including flagstone and wooden flooring, exposed original beams, inglenook and fireplace, window seats and window shutters, all of which emphasising its quintessential cottage feel.

      Upon entering, the ground floor is welcoming and comprises a kitchen/ breakfast/ dining area, sitting room and snug. The kitchen is generous in size and light, with charming gothic style windows to the front. A focal inglenook with Aga, separate oven, breakfast bar, space for fridge/ freezer, plenty of work surface and storage space, and spacious dining area too. The perfect hub of the home, and for social entertaining. Adjoining is the snug, a comfortable space with potential for further uses if necessary. The sitting room is charming with wood burner, built in storage wardrobes, double doors leading out into the garden, and a free standing mezzanine hosting a double bedroom and WC and basin on the first floor, maximising the rooms functionality.

      Also benefiting the house is a secondary staircase leading to two further double bedrooms on the first floor and a well-appointed family bathroom with mosaic tiled wall. In addition, the second floor accommodates another generously proportioned double bedroom with en suite bathroom too, perfect for guests.

      Outside continues to compliment this home. To the rear is an enchanting private garden, filled with a variety of mature trees and fruit trees, hedges, beautiful rose garden and raised bed, lawn, gravelled and patio areas. Perfect for summer entertaining and alfresco dining. Also to be enjoyed, is a studio/ workshop over two floors, ideal for a home office or hobby room and there is also a garage and off road parking.
