About this property

Tastefully presented across two floors with off-road parking and an enclosed garden, Little Foxes provides a welcoming base to call home for families and couples looking to escape to this picturesque part of Wiltshire. Stepping inside you’ll immediately notice the reclaimed oak wood floor leading into the snug, where you can perch on the window seat and lose yourself in a good book or simply overlook the front garden.

The kitchen features an amply equipped range of appliances including lovely wooden work surfaces, sure to inspire home-cooking, whilst the adjacent utility room comes in handy for the laundry jobs.

Start the morning with a rinse in the upstairs shower room before heading to the rear enclosed garden, sitting at the patio furniture as you plan for the day ahead or return here in the evening and for a family barbecue. Less than a mile away is the popular Gurkha Baynjan Restaurant serving Nepalese cuisine in a pub environment, plus there are three more traditional pubs within two miles. Head to Blacklands Golf Club if you're a golfing enthusiast, venture along the Ridgeway Cycle Path for those keen cyclists, whilst the Avebury Manor, a 16th-century manor house, is ideal for a more leisurely afternoon of exploring. If you're seeking some much-needed R&R, why not pay a visit to the Bowood Country Estate where you can embark on a relaxing stroll or make use of the golf and spa facilities.

It was also disappointing that the main bedroom upstairs was not an en suite and just a shower room and felt it wouldnât take too much work to alter this.
