Manor Farm Cottage is a striking Grade II listed thatched house set in about one acre of gardens with direct views across the River Avon water meadows. The property combines medieval character—exposed cruck beams, a large inglenook fireplace and brick-and-flint elevations—with surprisingly generous accommodation spread over two floors: five bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus formal and informal reception rooms.
The site includes a detached garage, workshop and a brick-and-flint barn currently let for £12,000 per annum (can be vacated). Front thatch was recently replaced; grounds include lawns, a pond, wooded areas and direct river frontage that adjoins designated SSI meadows. The house is offered chain free and sits approximately five miles from Salisbury and the mainline station to London.
Practical points to note: the home is listed, which restricts alterations and will complicate works and any conversion of outbuildings. Construction is original granite/whinstone with assumed no cavity insulation; heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators. Flood risk is medium given the river frontage, council tax is described as quite expensive, and some renovation/modernisation may be required in parts.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a characterful country family home with income potential from the barn, or someone looking for a special rural retreat close to Salisbury. Buyers must be comfortable with listed-building consent processes and rural utilities (oil heating) and factor in flood-plain considerations.
