This Grade II listed detached thatched cottage is situated in the churchyard overlooking St James Church and Avebury Manor, and is within a few minutes’ walk from the Neolithic Avebury Stone Circle.
The cottage dates from at least 1724 and was built with a timber frame and wattle and daub construction.
It has a thatched roof, original low beamed ceilings and is painted with lime wash throughout.
The living room hosts a wood burner.
The original property was extended at both ends and became two cottages, and in the 1970s the current owner reverted it back to one larger cottage.
It is set away from the High Street in a very quiet position, with a private garden where you can relax and enjoy the ambience of this mystical village (please note the garden may not be completely dog proof).
The UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Trust village of Avebury has a manor house and gardens to explore along an archeology museum detailing the history of the stone circle and surrounding area.
There are several walks from Avebury including well-marked footpaths to Silbury Hill, Windmill Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow and the Ridgeway.
The White Horse Trail also passes through the village, as does the National Cycle Network route 403.
The historic market town of Devizes is a 15 minute drive away with the Kennet and Avon Canal and Caen Hill flight of locks to visit and you can also take in a tour of the Wadsworth Brewery.
Beautiful Marlborough is also a 15 minute drive away, with interesting shops to visit on the wide High Street.
Savernake Forest is a further 5 minutes drive from Marlborough, dating back to pre-Tudor times there are 4,500 acres of woods to explore.
Further afield there is the city of Bath to visit along with the Roman Baths and the American Museum.
For more ancient monuments, Stonehenge and museum is not to be missed.
Other National Trust sites nearby are the gardens at Stourhead, the house and deer park of Dyrham and the historic Abbey and village of Lacock, home of the birthplace of photography and the setting for many films, including Harry Potter.
The pub and community shop are a 5 minute walk away and the nearest supermarkets are in Marlborough and Devizes.

Fantastic cottage in a great location - not for tall folks though! Lovely period features include the low ceilings :)
Welcoming features such as a bottle of wine in the fridge and a voucher to spend at the local shop were really appreciated - clearly the Thrushes go the extra mile.
Would recommend, and will definitely stay again

This gorgeous little cottage is so full of character and charm. The surrounding area is magical too, with so much to do in walking distance of the cottage
