Mistletoe Cottage is a highly attractive Grade II listed extended period property set in the heart of Steeple Ashton, a delightful village just three miles east of Trowbridge, the county town of Wiltshire. Dating to the 17th century, this detached house has undergone sympathetic modernisation, including a stand-out extension designed in the late 1990s by award-winning craftsman Stephen Graver. Pavement-facing but secluded to the rear, it is set in a plot the owners describe as ‘the perfect-sized mature garden with abundant fruit trees turning from a wash of pretty blossom in the spring to a swathe of warm russet colours in the autumn.’ With lawns and paved areas geared towards outdoor entertaining, the garden boasts cherry, apple, field, and Japanese Maple trees. A comfortable house bursting with character, it is laid out over three floors, with its main living areas on the ground floor and six bedrooms, one en suite, and bathrooms on the first and second floors. ‘The layout is excellent, something hugely enhanced by the stunning extension which contains the kitchen and dining area. The design is such that it feels seamless – it doesn't take away from the original character at all, if anything it enhances it,’ explain the owners. Steeple Ashton is a thriving village with a multi-award-winning community shop and a recently refurbished pub – The Longs – both within walking distance from the front door. There is a well-regarded primary school in nearby Keevil, and further schools are available in the surrounding villages and Trowbridge. Renowned independent schools Stonar and Dauntsey’s are also within easy reach.

‘Steeple Ashton is not only picturesque but a safe and friendly community to live in – there’s plenty to get involved in, from meeting at the village pub to taking part in church activities.’

‘Surrounded by beautiful Wiltshire countryside, yet within easy reach of Trowbridge with its superstores and entertainment complex, the beautiful city of Bath, the towns of Bradford on Avon, Frome and Devizes and direct train lines to London, the location is outstanding.’

‘For those who love to explore the outdoors, there are excellent country walks, fishing lakes, and places of interest nearby.’

‘The mix of period and modern living makes this such an attractive home. What’s more, it really is a home for all seasons; cosy in the winter yet deliciously cool in the summer.’

‘The drawing room is wonderful at Christmas time with a roaring fire and the sound of carol singing – it has so much atmosphere.’
