Hartmoor Potterne Devizes Wiltshire

Classification: Query
Surnames: WATTS, HEARD, COOMBER
Does “Hartmoor” cottage still exist? I have a few postcards posted to and from the cottage in the 1920’s by different members of my family and an old photograph of it. My Grandparents Robert & Susan HEARD nee COOMBER named their cottage in Essex with the same name in the 1930’s. Robert’s mother & father Walter & Jemima HEARD nee WATTS were living in Poplar, London in 1881 but she was born in Potterne Wiltshire abt. 1846 (source 1881 census) which leads me to think that maybe the connection is WATTS. Of course it doesn’t necessarily mean that the family actually lived there, maybe different members of the family were just spending their holidays there. If anybody can help with me this mystery I would be very grateful and if anyone can confirm that the cottage still exists I would love to visit it.
