Hollow Lane, Wilton, Marlborough, Wiltshire, SN8

Hollow Lane Cottage is a charming, well presented Grade II listed house which has been carefully restored and extended by the current owners, creating an elegant blend of period character and modern living. A contemporary glass fronted inner hall with storage for coats and shoes links the original house with the attractive oak-clad extension housing the stunning kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with Shaker-style Plain English cabinetry, a large central island and smart wooden flooring, and the room is filled with natural light from a wall of bi-fold doors opening onto a south-facing terrace overlooking the garden. A large utility room adjoins the kitchen, and stairs lead up to a spacious double bedroom above, with built-in storage and en suite bathroom. To the other side of the inner hall there is a lovely triple aspect family room/dining room with a wonderful inglenook fireplace and log burner. Beyond this room the original entrance hall leads through to the triple aspect sitting room with original fireplace, which can also be accessed via the original front door. Off the main hall there is a ground floor bathroom, and the main staircase leads up to two good sized bedrooms on the first floor, both with wash basins and one with a roll top bath. The spacious landing area is ideal for a desk/office, and there is also a separate WC. There is an additional good-sized bedroom on the top floor.
