Figsbury Cottage is a most delightful home situated in an exclusive address of 4 individual homes and enjoys the most enviable position of historical importance within attractive gardens approaching ½ acre. 

Owners Comments
"We were attracted to this house from the moment we saw the 'Hansel and Gretal ' look from the front gate and then the imposing ' church' front door. A beautiful garden throughout the seasons beginning with Spring snowdrops, primroses and bluebells naturalised under the trees, the Summer full of colour and fruit and finally Autumn when the huge walnut tree gives so much that jars of walnuts go to all friends and family."

"We shall never forget of course Figsbury Ring, an Iron Age Fort ( National Trust) and the lovely walks we have enjoyed (and the dog) just a 5 minute walk up the lane.  So with the sun rising over the front gate and shining onto the breakfast table and the sun setting over Figsbury Ring we have loved being a part of this beautiful countryside."

Introduction
Figsbury Ring is encompassed by stunning rolling open countryside, within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of what is widely understood to be an Iron Age hill fort. Its cottage gardens have been delightfully landscaped and include productive raised growing beds, a variety of specimen trees and a host of outbuildings including a 'barn style' double car port. Internally, period features include exposed beams and painted wood latch doors which fuse seamlessly with the comforts of modern living including the vaulted family room accessed via a glazed sun room. The property has been sympathetically improved by our client with recently plastered walls  and new flooring offering a potential purchaser a "turn key" home. Located in the quintessential Wiltshire village of Firsdown this attractive home is ideally positioned for commuting via the A30 to Stockbridge, Winchester and Salisbury and is positioned within catchment for the highly regarded Salisbury Grammar schools. 

Description
A covered porch with an original wooden door leads to the generous welcoming hallway where period features are immediately evident including exposed ceiling beams and painted white wooden latch doors upon an  oak floor. There is also access to the understairs cupboard and cloakroom. The sitting dining room extends to 24ft and enjoys a triple aspect via French doors and arch ecclesiastical windows. The feature fireplace is the stunning centre piece to the room with inset wood burning stove set upon a slate tiled hearth under an oak mantle. From the hallway a doorway leads to the delightful galley kitchen with extensive white eye and base level units, attractive black granite worktops and double butler style sink over a wood effect floor. Integrated appliances include a Neff five ring induction hob and double electric oven. There is space for a fridge, freezer and stacked washing machine and dryer with access to a contemporary shower room comprising a glass double shower cubicle, pedestal wash hand basin, economy flushing W/C and heated towel rail. From the kitchen there is a door way into a sun room used as a breakfast room with French doors to the rear and front providing brightness and access to the gardens. The centre piece to the cottage is the impressive vaulted family room with fitted units and tasteful wood effect flooring. This room is wonderfully bright afforded much natural light via a dual aspect and two Velux windows.

The landing provides access to three well proportioned bedrooms, two of which are large double bedrooms enjoying their own individual charm and pleasant views from every aspect. The master bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes. The bedrooms are served by a quaint family bathroom with matching white suite.
