Church Steps, as the name suggests, sits beneath the shadow of St Nicholas’s Church and is a truly exquisite thatched cottage dating back to 1772.<br/>The property is approached via charming stone steps leading to the side entrance, opening into a well-appointed kitchen fitted with matching base-level units, integrated dishwasher and washing machine, all complemented by traditional quarry tiled flooring.<br/>From here, the home flows into a spacious open-plan reception room, offering ample space for both dining and relaxation. This inviting area features exposed oak beams, oak flooring, and a striking fireplace with a wood-burning stove set within an exposed brick surround and hearth. Dual-aspect windows allow for an abundance of natural light, while a front door provides direct access outside.<br/>Stairs rise to the first floor, where you will find the first bedroom. This room benefits from a vaulted ceiling, enhancing the sense of space, along with elevated views towards the river.<br/>Off the landing is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite and finished with oak flooring.<br/>Completing the accommodation is a second double bedroom, again featuring exposed beams and enjoying elevated views.<br/>To the front of the property the green is jointly owned by Church Steps and three other properties and is subject to a small annual contribution towards public liability insurance, with each owner responsible for maintaining their respective areas of grass and provides off-road parking, with steps and a pathway leading up to both the front and side entrances of this charming home. The garden is arranged over three terraced levels, predominantly laid to lawn and supported by attractive drystone retaining walls. The rear boundary is defined by a particularly striking stone wall, while the borders are well stocked with mature shrubs and flowering plants. Of particular note are the mature wisteria and climbing rose, which bring colour and seasonal interest to the garden.<br/>Offered with no onward chain, a viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this home has to offer.<br/><br/>Location:<br/>The property is situated in the charming rural village of Fisherton De La Mere, nestled within the heart of the picturesque Wylye Valley. This highly sought-after setting offers a peaceful and unspoilt countryside environment, surrounded by rolling downland and the meandering River Wylye.<br/>Despite its tranquil setting, the village is conveniently positioned just off the A36, providing excellent access to the cathedral city of Salisbury and the market town of Warminster, both offering a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities.
