Situation • Bridge Cottage is located in the small rural hamlet of Hannington Wick, close to the Wiltshire/Gloucestershire border which runs along the nearby River Thames. Hannington is the closest village, where there is a Parish Church and a popular pub, The Jolly Tar. • Fairford, Highworth and Lechlade have between them a number of excellent local schools, shopping for everyday needs and a number of pubs and restaurants. The larger centres of Cirencester, Swindon and Oxford are all within daily commuting distance and all have a diverse range of shops, as well as theatres and other cultural activities. • There are fast railway connections to London/Paddington running from Swindon and excellent road connections to the M4 (J15) and M5 (J11A) via the A419/417 dual carriageway. • The surrounding countryside has a wide network of bridleways and footpaths, including the picturesque towpath walk along the River Thames. Bridge Cottage • Bridge Cottage is an attractive semi-detached cottage built, we believe, in the late 1800s as a replica of a late 17th Century- style house. It is constructed of natural Cotswold stone, with ashlar quoins and has a number of stone mullion windows with drip sills over, under a hipped, traditional stone tiled roof. • The cottage, which is Listed Grade II as being of special architectural and historical interest, has been extended to the rear relatively recently to create just under 1,600 sq. ft. of living accommodation, arranged over three floors. • On the ground floor, the sitting room is a particularly good sized room with stone mullion windows on two aspects, a large open Studio/workshop fireplace with bread oven and stone surround, and a beamed ceiling. The kitchen/dining room is another excellent sized family room, fitted with a range of oak-fronted storage cupboards with granite work surfaces and incorporates a gas-fired Rayburn which supplies central heating, hot water and cooking facilities. • On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, a small study and family bathroom and above, there is a charming attic double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, painted beams and an en-suite shower room.
