Semi-Detached House for sale with 2 bedrooms, Nethercote Hill, Lacock

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful no-through lane and surrounded by open countryside, 6 Nethercote Hill is a characterful 18th-century semi-detached cottage in the historic Wiltshire village of Lacock. Built of stone under a stone-tiled roof, with charming mullion windows and an early 20th-century red brick extension, the property perfectly combines rustic charm with easy access to modern life. Unlisted yet nestled within a conservation area, the cottage has been a calm and welcoming retreat for its current owners for over 25 years. ‘We were drawn to the quiet location, the old beams and mullion windows – and the fact it feels so private, surrounded by fields and wildlife,’ they explain. 'Lacock being a National Trust village means it’s beautifully maintained and offers everything you need, from great pubs and a village shop to a chocolate shop and play parks.’
Inside, the cottage is arranged over two floors. On the ground floor, the sitting room – a favourite space – sits alongside the kitchen/diner, which leads through to a shower room. ‘It’s cosy in winter with its log burner and oak beams, and wonderfully light in summer thanks to its sunny aspect. The thick walls keep it cool even on the hottest days.’ Upstairs, two bedrooms enjoy lovely views across the surrounding countryside.
The large garden offers a series of tranquil spaces: a sun-soaked terrace for morning coffee, a sheltered lower patio for evening dining, and a lawned area with apple trees, a haven for wildlife and play alike. ‘It’s been a magical place to live,’ the owners say.
Lacock itself is known for its strong sense of community and excellent amenities, with highly regarded local schools and superb transport links. The train station at nearby Chippenham offers fast and frequent services to Bath, Bristol, and London, while the M4 is just a short drive away.
The property also benefits from outbuildings including a shed and greenhouse with electricity, and a south-facing aspect that makes the most of every season.

‘We love how quiet it is here, but it’s also incredibly well connected.’

‘We have often spotted Kingfishers and Otters in the ford whilst walking home and woodpeckers, owls and hedgehogs are frequent visitors to the garden – nature offers many wonderful surprises.’

‘We’ll miss the peaceful evening walks, the fire in winter, and the lambs in the field – it’s been our sanctuary.’
