Originally within the ownership of British Telecom, The Old Telephone Exchange is a uniquely characterful detached cottage located within the highly popular village of Winterbourne Dauntsey adjoining open farmland and countryside.
Dating from around the 1950s/1960s, the property is a single storey building first converted for residential use in 2009 yet still offering great potential for buyers to create a “one off” home. In fact, the cottage has been continuously let from 2015 until August 2023; we are advised that the current market rent would be a minimum of £750 pcm, giving a return of approximately 4.6%.
The accommodation is surprisingly spacious with light and airy rooms, is centrally heated via a mains gas fired boiler to radiators and double glazed. There is a large singular open plan reception room and kitchen with views over countryside, a generous double bedroom which also has a view and an en suite wet room. There is also a large roof space with excellent storage.
The property enjoys a lane end location with a two car gravelled drive, you can access either side which leads to a private westerly facing courtyard garden which is also accessible from the bedroom.
The Old Telephone Exchange is offered for sale with vacant possession.
