Tilshead, Salisbury, SP3

This Grade II listed home offers a wealth of charm and original features including wooden beams, exposed brickwork and stunning fireplaces. Having been updated in recent years, this delightful cottage is immaculately presented and offers deceptively spacious accommodation throughout. Upon entering the cottage the size and sheer quality of this home is immediately apparent. The generous and highly versatile accommodation includes a comprehensively appointed, modern farmhouse style kitchen to the rear. The kitchen has space for an everyday breakfast table and boasts a generous range of wall and base units, solid wood worktops and some integrated appliances. To the front, there are two glorious receptions rooms; an open plan sitting/dining room with a gorgeous fireplace with inset log burning stove and a separate drawing room. Both rooms have large original windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom. On the first floor, the main sleeping accommodation is arranged around the central stairwell and consists of three generous double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom offers lovely views across the landscaped gardens. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed and services all the bedrooms. In addition, there is a very useful annexe room with a cloakroom to the rear of the garage, an ideal fourth bedroom, studio or work from home space.

The home currently has approved planning for further re-imagination and extension, encompassing the garage to create a substantial four/five bedroom home. Planning reference- PL/2022/02232.

Beyond, the formal lawn is flanked by structured floral and shrub borders. To the rear is a secondary raised terrace, an ideal evening suntrap. In addition, there is a wonderful studio/summerhouse that is ideal for home working with power and light.
