Cholderton, Salisbury, Wiltshire, Sp4

A unique detached single-storey cottage with well-presented accommodation, a small converted barn, ample parking, and a courtyard-style garden

A detached period cottage, formerly part of the nearby manor house, which is constructed of brick under a tiled roof, comprises a living room with an adjoining dining area, a good-sized kitchen with an Aga, two double bedrooms, and a bathroom with a separate shower. To the rear, the current owner has converted a small barn, which features a beautiful heavy pegged frame and vaulted ceilings, into a studio with a kitchenette and shower room, providing useful and versatile space. Both properties open onto a shared courtyard-style garden. In addition, a gated entrance with stone-capped brick piers leads from the road onto a generous driveway offering ample parking.

The property is situated in the village of Cholderton, which has a public house, church and village hall. The neighbouring village of Grateley offers a Post Office/shop, primary school, public house, church and a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. Andover, about ten miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, and a further mainline railway station. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are within fifteen and twenty five minutes drive respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
