Full Details for 3 Bedroom Detached for sale in Salisbury, SP3 :
A superbly refurbished & extended period cottage of great character with adaptable living space & an extensive outbuilding ideal for use as a work/studio facility or potential annexe.
Property
A most attractive home comprising a clever combination of classic period charm and a stylish modern extension. The original property is a traditional attached cottage of local greensand stone external elevations under a thatched roof and is believed to have once part of a row of servants’ cottages tied to Knoyle House with previous occupants including a former butler and a chauffeur. Over the years a single story extension has been added to the rear which has in recent times been adapted to create a light and welcoming kitchen/breakfast room, shower room and utility room.
Retaining the patina of age, the older parts have been sympathetically refurbished whilst the modern improvements such as oak flooring have been carefully chosen to compliment the many original features including the impressive inglenook fireplaces* serving the sitting and dining rooms. Upstairs, what used to be the third bedroom has been opened up to one of the two en-suite bedrooms to create a dressing area but could be returned to its original purpose. A further extension has been added to the rear providing an excellent study/family room with scope to be adapted as further bedroom accommodation.
A surprise of the property is the particularly large and versatile, partly timber clad & stone fronted outbuilding, once a garage but substantially extended to provide extensive space to run a business, studio or perhaps as ancillary accommodation to the main house.
Outside
Wooden gates lead to a gravelled drive and onto the garden with pleasant sitting areas to the rear of the cottage including on the flat roof extension**. The main area of garden is on a slope facing southeast and laid to grass with shrub beds, ornamental trees, two ponds, shed and greenhouse. At the top of the garden, which has recently undergone extensive clearing, is an insulated garden room/office with power & lovely views.
Situation
The cottage is located close to the heart of the ever popular historic village of East Knoyle situated near the Wiltshire/Dorset border. East Knoyle is famous for being the birthplace of Sir Christopher Wren in 1632 and this vibrant village with its attractive stone fronted cottages and houses has good facilities including a community run shop/post office, village hall, parish church, playground and various clubs with a well-respected inn, The Fox & Hounds situated in the neighbouring hamlet of The Green. Positioned just off the A350, there is convenient access to the North Dorset Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury which is just six miles away and has a good range of shops, supermarkets, eateries, an up and coming secondary school, cottage hospital and is famous for the picturesque steeply cobbled street of Gold Hill.
There are railways stations at Tisbury (5.8 miles) and Gillingham (6.9 miles) with direct rail services to London (Waterloo) and the West Country. The local road network gives ready access to the other main towns in the area including Bath, Blandford, Salisbury, Sherborne, Warminster and Wincanton as well as to the South Coast whilst the A303 trunk road linking with the M3 motorway, makes London accessible for the motorist. Many families are drawn to the area because of the wide choice of highly regarded schools in both the state and private sectors.
Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and where the Nadder Valley, West Wiltshire Downs and the Blackmore Vale all meet, Chauffeurs Cottage is an ideal base from which to explore the local countryside and for a variety of rural pursuits such as walking, riding and cycling as well as traditional field sports. There are golf courses at Tollard Royal, Salisbury, Sherborne and Warminster with racing at Bath, Salisbury and Wincanton and sailing at Shear Water near Warminster. There are several excellent dining pubs in the vicinity as well as many places of interest such as Old Wardour Castle, the Longleat Estate, Stourhead Gardens, Wilton House and the Fovant Badges.
