1 Green Park Lane Cottage
Green Park Lane Cottages are situated in open countryside equidistant to the villages of Rode and Rudge and to the north east of the village of Beckington and the A36 in West Wiltshire. The cottages lie in the parish of Beckington (www.beckington.org.uk), conveniently south west of Trowbridge and north east of Frome. The main travel routes of the A36, A303 and M4 connecting London and the West Country are all within 30 minutes drive. The area is steeped in history with reference to Beckington in the Domesday Book and the importance of the wool trade and weaving to the area's heritage. Uniquely, the properties have been held in the same family's ownership for over 100 years. Constructed for estate workers as part of nearby Grade I listed Seymour Court Farm, the farm was the Wiltshire family seat of the Seymour family and Jane Seymour married King Henry 8th in 1536.

Numbers 2 amp; 4 may be available by separate negotiation (speak to the Agents for further details). The cottages enjoy ceiling heights and room proportions more akin to Victorian styled properties. Constructed in 1906 of local stone, with stone mullion windows and stone quoins under a clay tile roof, the properties are on the market for the very first time. The quality and heritage of the properties is clearly evident and each delightful cottage has scope for extension (subject to obtaining the usual planning consents). The properties are not listed.
