3 bed cottage for sale

Pitton, Salisbury SP5

Located within the highly desirable Wiltshire village of Pitton is Willow Cottage, a lovely detached “eye catching” Grade II Listed period cottage of excellent proportions with a wealth of glorious features. With obvious kerb appeal and a wonderful garden, Willow Cottage is a “must view” for any discerning buyer in search of a characterful home.

The original cottage is believed to be mid c.17 century and of timber frame construction raised on flint footings. We understand that the cottage was last restored during the later half of the 1960s at which time a single storey rear extension was added to create an additional reception room/bedroom, bathroom, rear lobby and garage. There is no doubt that a new owner demonstrating a high degree of sensitivity to the period and charm of this glorious cottage could further enhance its appeal.

The accommodation currently comprises, on the ground floor, of an entrance porch, cosy sitting room with inglenook fireplace and study area, dining room, modern fitted kitchen, second reception room/bedroom, bathroom and rear lobby. The first floor offers a generous main bedroom, a small double bedroom and a modern fitted bathroom.

Willow Cottage is approached via a sweeping drive that leads to the garaging and parking located at the rear of the property. The gardens are of an excellent size and, well kept with a large area of lawn at the front bordered by flower beds, mature shrubs, hedgerows and trees. The rear garden offers a high degree of privacy with a further area of lawn, mature shrubs and a large patio/seating area.
