Gaters Lane, Salisbury, SP4

The home, that dates back to the 15th Century in its original part, was recently re-thatched in 2024 and offers a wealth of charm and original features including exposed wooden beams and stunning fireplaces. Having been meticulously updated and reimagined in part, this delightful cottage boasts accommodation that belies its chocolate box appearance. The cottage itself is semi-detached with gorgeous accommodation comprising a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, cosy sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace, a simple ground floor bathroom and two well-balanced double bedrooms found on the first floor within the historic timber cruck frame.

The Bothy is set to the rear and is a notable feature of the home, extending to 957 sq. ft., and offering a wealth of versatility in how it can be used. Originally a coach house, there is a studio/sitting room with a log burner and stairs that rise up to the generous double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. There is then a separate entrance to a utility room, second shower room and an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room. This additional space is ideal for use as an annexe, studio or home office. There is underfloor heating throughout. The majority part can easily be returned to a double garage if required.

Outside

The electronic timber gates open onto a sizeable gravel driveway, providing parking for multiple vehicles. At the front of the property, the decorative mature shrubs are set behind a fenced front boundary, perfectly framing the traditional frontage. To the rear, the walled cottage style gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped and boast a wonderful degree of privacy. The sweeping lawn is framed by contoured floral and herbaceous beds whilst specimen trees provide structure and colour. There are several paved seating areas, perfect for quiet enjoyment or expansive entertaining.
