Thickwood Lane, Colerne, Chippenham, SN14

Laundry Cottages are a row of period, unlisted cottages backing the grounds of Thickwood House – a Jacobean Manor with beautiful barns.

Number 2 is approached via the hardstanding parking area (2 vehicles) and then an iron gate to the front garden and path to the stone entrance porch and front door. Once inside the generous living room has a handsome fireplace, and also accesses the staircase to the upper level and another to the storage cellar. At the back of the house is the open plan kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen dining room is fully refitted with integrated appliances and opens to the rear terrace where there is a countryside view of the grounds of the Manor behind. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a large utility room and downstairs bathroom.

The first floor gives the good-sized bedrooms and a separate cloakroom off the main landing.

Externally the gardens are mainly set to the front of the house yet are extremely private.
