Old Sodom Lane, Dauntsey

Evergreen Cottage is a simply stunning home offering fantastic equestrian facilities and land of around 6.5 acres. Believed to date back to c.1871 as once the old village bakers, the cottage has undergone significant and extensive renovations with a meticulous level of detail. High quality finishes include Tom Howley bespoke units in the kitchen, boot room and utility/shower room, and lovely limestone flooring throughout the ground floor.

The cottage extends to around 2,179 sq.ft. arranged over two main floors with the charming surprise of two versatile attic rooms making it an ideal family-sized home. The ground floor includes a dual-aspect living room with a stone fireplace at the focal point. Across the hall, the kitchen/family room forms the hub of the home as a social area fitted with a large six-seater breakfast bar island at the centre. The kitchen was installed in 2024 finished with Quartz worktops and boasts a range of integrated appliances including a Quooker tap, Miele fridge, Neff oven and combi-oven, induction hob, Neff undercounter freezer and dishwasher, plus a larder cupboard. To the side, there is a conservatory adjoining with a boot room. There is also a practical downstairs utility/shower room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and the updated family bathroom. There are two attic rooms on the top floor accessed by two staircases, one of which is hidden behind a cupboard in a bedroom, and are currently utilised as child bedrooms. Additionally, there is an external workshop/office and boiler room at the back of the house.

The cottage is set within a private plot down a no-through lane and is secured by electric gates. The driveway approaches a double garage and the equestrian facilities beyond. The double garage has previously had planning (now lapsed) to evolve with an annexe room above. The gardens have a sunny aspect and wrap around the house laid mostly to lawn with raised borders and a new large patio positioned off the conservatory overlooking the stable yard.

The excellent equestrian facilities include a stable block of three loose boxes and a tack room, Molenkoning 4-bay horse walker, and a 40x20m arena. There is a paddock beside the arena to the rear of the house, while the main land (c.4.9 acres) lies across the small lane comprising two paddocks. The land comprises 6 acres in all and is level.
