Charming Tudor Cottage with Historic Character in East Knoyle

Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after village of East Knoyle, this enchanting mid-terrace cottage dates back to the 1560s and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Believed to have once formed part of a shop, the property is brimming with period charm and original features that reflect its rich Tudor heritage.

From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the wealth of character on display — from exposed floorboards and wood-panelled walls to the stunning ceiling beams that run throughout. The inviting sitting room centres around a magnificent inglenook fireplace with an impressive bressummer beam, while the adjoining Stanley range, in the kitchen provides heating, hot water, and cooking — cleverly positioned beneath another historic beam, perhaps marking the site of an earlier hearth.

The accommodation comprises three generously sized bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom. A second bathroom is located on the ground floor, offering convenience and flexibility. While already full of charm, the property presents scope for sympathetic improvement and personalisation (subject to necessary permissions), making it an ideal project for those wishing to blend modern comfort with historic character. Outside, a large rear garden offers ample space and exciting potential to create a beautiful outdoor retreat — ready to be tamed and enjoyed. Situated within a conservation area, the cottage benefits from the tranquil, picturesque setting of East Knoyle while still offering easy access to nearby major towns and transport links.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a truly unique opportunity to make your home in one of Wiltshire’s most desirable villages.
