A stunning Grade 11 listed cottage offered in excellent condition, together with garage, parking, garden and part ownership of protected land to rear.<br/><br/>A grade 11 listed attached cottage, believed to date from the 16th century with flint and brick elevations under a thatched roof, full of character features including exposed timbers, floorboards and fireplaces. Ceiling heights are good, there is gas central heating with underfloor heating in the kitchen together with an AGA range cooker and the thatch was ridged and patched 5 years ago. Planning permissions have been granted for upgraded porch and conservatory. There are lovely views to the rear extending to Old Sarum and the property comes with share in a company that owns the paddock to rear offering dog walking and protection from development. The vendor has found a property so a quick sale is possible.<br/><br/>The cottage sits behind a mature hedge with flower beds, climbing plants and shrubs. The tiled and oak porch has a brick floor with oak door leading into the dining hall. This has exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and staircase to the first floor. The double aspect sitting room has a door to the driveway, fireplace and exposed beams. This leads through to the family room which also has double aspects, and an open fireplace. Double doors lead into the study which has an exposed brick and flint wall and bookshelves. The kitchen/breakfast room has a good range of work surfaces with base and wall mounted cupboards and drawers, twin bowl ceramic sink and drainer, range cooker space, ceiling lantern and downlighters. There is a gas fired Aga, further storage cupboards, ceiling beams, tiled floor and wainscotting. <br/>Finally on the ground floor is a rear lobby with coat and shoe space, with wc/shower room and door leading out to the garden.<br/><br/>On the first floor there are four bedrooms and a bathroom. The master bedroom is double aspect with views to the rear and a wardrobe that could possibly be converted into an ensuite. The second bedroom is also double aspect with wardrobe. Bedroom three has a wardrobe whilst bedroom four has a recess for a wardrobe. The bathroom has a shower cubicle, wc, hand basin and a claw foot bath.<br/><br/>Immediately to the rear of the cottage is a private courtyard with brick and paving, walls to sides and climbing plants. Here there is a converted outhouse which has a utility room, shower room, ground floor room and a mezzanine level for bed space or storage. To the south side is a driveway with room for a couple of vehicles which leads to the garage with electric up and over door, light and power. An opening leads to a workshop to rear. The garden is a good size with lawn, flower beds, shrubs, wild garden and vegetable beds. Hedges and fencing to sides. <br/><br/>NB: Beyond the garden is field which extends to over 11 acres. This is owned by five local families (including Flint Cottage) to ensure protection from future developement and provides great dog walking with access over to Old Sarum.<br/><br/>
