Tilly's Cottage

About this property

Set on a quiet country lane in the village of Edington is Tilly's Cottage, a sweet little detached cottage, exuding warmth and cosiness the moment you step through the door. The cottage dates back to the 19th century and has been lovingly restored to provide a lovely holiday home, suitable for a small family or friends looking to enjoy the Wiltshire countryside, or couples looking for a romantic retreat. Come into this charming property and enter the delightful sitting room, where two grey plush sofas are arranged around the red-brick fireplace that holds the woodburning stove, throw some kindling on the fire on a cold night and nestle into your home-from-home. A Smart TV grants you access to all your favourite channels and streaming services, beneath the wooden ceiling beams scattered with modern spotlights, it’s a great mix of old and new. Step onto the excellently preserved original stone tiles in the kitchen/diner, and find the fitted kitchen made up of muted grey units with a dark sleek worktop, while a wooden table is tucked in one corner creating a lovely snug spot to gather around for an evening meal. Upstairs when it’s time to turn in for the night, find two beautifully-presented king-size bedrooms, each boasting coordinated bed linen and curtains, offering a wonderful sleeping spot. One of the rooms also features a decorative red-brick fireplace and is also able to be made into a twin room on request thanks to zip/link capabilities, turning it from a 5-foot king-size into two singles, allowing the property to be suitable for different party setups. Finally completing the property is the bathroom, where a grey tiled shower over bath sits within it, with a hand-held shower attachment as well, creating a calming space to enjoy while soaking in the tub.
