Keepers Cottage is a sympathetically renovated former farm worker’s cottage, set on over a third of an acre in the desirable Wiltshire hamlet of Charlton All Saints. The house combines preserved period features — inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and cellar — with recent upgrades such as a new heating system, upgraded kitchen, triple-glazed windows and a garden room. The rear of the plot enjoys far-reaching, uninterrupted countryside views and landscaped cottage gardens with productive raised beds and mature trees.
Practical additions include an EV charging point, a sewage treatment plant, a new oil tank and extensive outbuildings: a triple garage workshop with store plus a separate double garage that has planning consent to convert into a one-bedroom annex. The property sits within the catchment for Salisbury’s highly regarded grammar schools and offers convenient A338 access to Salisbury and Bournemouth, making it well suited to families who need rural calm with commuting links.
Notable points to check: drainage is via a sewage treatment plant; main heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators (oil tank replaced recently); construction is solid brick and presumed uninsulated in walls. There are Longford Estate covenants affecting future sales and alterations (requires offering back to the Estate before wider sale; alterations need Longford permission; no commercial business from home). Also, paperwork around the number of bathrooms appears inconsistent in provided details and should be confirmed prior to exchange.
This is a characterful, largely turnkey rural home with strong outbuilding potential. Buyers seeking a period property with modern comforts, generous garaging and scope for an annex will find genuine appeal, while those prioritising lower-carbon communal heating or fully insulated solid-wall construction should factor in potential further works.
