Set within 1.8 acres of private grounds in a desirable hamlet near Salisbury, this detached thatched cottage combines period character with modern conveniences. The grade-character accommodation includes exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces, a farmhouse kitchen with AGA, and a principal bedroom with a freestanding roll-top bath. Large west-facing gardens, paddocks and mature planting create a peaceful family setting and attractive entertaining spaces.
The property includes a heated outdoor pool (air source heat pump), an oak-framed range of outbuildings—stables, workshop, stores—and a double carport. The house’s flexible layout suits couples or families and offers scope to re-imagine or extend subject to planning (STPP). Practical benefits include fast broadband, off-street parking and independent gated access to the paddocks.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the thatched roof requires specialist maintenance and likely higher insurance costs, council tax is relatively expensive, and the hamlet has no mobile signal. The home is largely in good order but, given its age and scale, further updating or adaptation may be desired by incoming owners.
This is an appealing rural lifestyle purchase for families or those seeking an equestrian or country retreat within reach of local schools and nearby towns. The combination of character accommodation, extensive grounds and versatile outbuildings gives clear potential for family living, hobbies or small-scale agricultural use.
