A historic cottage dating back to 1761 has gone on sale just outside of Swindon for £650,000.

The four-bedroom property is found at the end of a no through road at Upper Pavenhill, in the village of Purton, a short drive from Swindon.

The rear of the cottage boasts “fantastic” views of the Wiltshire countryside while a large multi-tier garden is perfect for nature lovers.
