A superbly presented cottage style home with country views situated in a desirable village setting in the beautiful Wylye Valley<br/><br/>PROPERTY<br/>An attractive modern home built in the early 1990’s in the style of a traditional country cottage but with the benefit of modern design and fittings. The external elevations to the front are mainly stone with brick detail whilst the rear is largely rendered with some clapperboard, all under a thatched roof.<br/>In recent years the property has been thoroughly refurbished and altered resulting in a beautifully presented village residence with versatile accommodation. These works include the addition of an oak and glass extension with bi-fold doors to the garden resulting in the creation of a wonderful hub-of-the-house kitchen/dining/family room which, due to its southern aspect, enjoys a light and airy feel.<br/>The rest of the living space comprises a welcoming reception hall, a good-sized double aspect sitting room with an inglenook fireplace with a woodburner and French doors to the rear garden. There’s also a study/snug on this level which could be used as an occasional 5th bedroom, a cloakroom and a utility/boot room with a dog shower. Upstairs the principal bedroom has a dressing area and a luxury en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.<br/>Other than the extension, both floors have underfloor hearting and many of the rooms enjoy lovely South facing views over paddocks and the countryside beyond.<br/> <br/>OUTSIDE<br/>The property has delightful grounds which at the front consist of a gravelled drive providing ample parking with an EV point and a path and steps up to a paved terrace. The South facing rear garden backs on to fields and has been most attractively landscaped with areas of lawn, paved seating areas ideal with al fresco dining, established flower and shrub borders and ornamental trees. <br/><br/>OUTBUILDINGS<br/>At the front is a detached brick and clapperboard double garage with a tiled roof. At the side is a garden shed and log store.<br/><br/>SITUATION<br/>Stockton is a pretty country village located in the lovely Wylye Valley, part of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape, and famous for its fly fishing and delightful scenery. The village has a historic church dating from the 12th Century and a pub, The Carriers with limited opening hours. <br/>Just one and a half miles away is the larger village of Codford which has a petrol station/garage with a supermarket and post office, a primary school and vets. Also close by is Wylye which has a village pub, The Bell that incorporates a mini shop and micro-brewery. The nearest town is Warminster which offers a choice of supermarkets including Waitrose, shops, health and leisure facilities and a railway station with services to London, Bristol and Southampton. <br/>Stockton is in an attractive rural but not isolated setting on the valley’s picturesque ‘back’ road with the A36 trunk on the other side of the River Wylye giving convenient access to the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury and Roman city of Bath both of which have comprehensive shopping, entertainment, arts and hospital facilities. The A303 is also nearby for London, the West Country and motorway network. South Wiltshire is well known for having several highly regarded schools in both the state and private sectors. <br/>Stockton is surrounded by lovely undulating countryside ideal for a variety of rural pursuits including walking, riding, cycling and field sports. Racing is at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton with golf at Tollard Royal, Warminster and Salisbury.
