Set on about an acre at the village edge, this detached character cottage offers rare scope for both an owner-occupier renovation and a small development. Full planning permission exists for a pair of three-bedroom semi-detached cottages, each with garage, which makes the site attractive to builders, developers or anyone seeking significant value-add potential.
The existing cottage provides a traditional layout: sitting room with wood-burning stove, kitchen/dining room, utility, cloakroom, three bedrooms and a single bathroom. Services include mains water and electricity, oil-fired boiler with radiators, and septic tank drainage. The house will need updating throughout and benefits from potential extension or refurbishment to create a comfortable family home while development proceeds on the paddock.
Practicalities are straightforward: ample off-street parking, large timber storage shed and direct views over surrounding farmland. The plot’s solid brick fabric is original to early 20th-century build and insulation is assumed absent in the walls, so buyers should allow for upgrading thermal performance and modernising heating. Oil heating and septic drainage may affect running costs and connection preferences.
Location is a strong selling point: peaceful rural outlook yet within walking distance of a public house, the local hospital and village services. Salisbury is about three miles away with wider amenities and a mainline station. This combination of immediate habitation, renovation potential and approved new-build permission creates multiple routes to unlock value, but buyers should budget for works, utilities/provider preferences and potential planning conditions on the new-build consent.
