Set within the peaceful village of Alderbury, just a few miles from the historic cathedral city of Salisbury, this stylish retreat is the ideal base for a holiday. You’ll be perfectly placed to explore the area's rich heritage and natural beauty. Head to nearby Salisbury (3 miles), which offers a wealth of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, as well as the magnificent Salisbury Cathedral with its iconic spire. Sitting in its shadow is Britain’s largest cathedral close, where you can explore historic Mompesson House. Within 20 miles, discover the world-famous Stonehenge, the ancient landscapes of Cranborne Chase National Landscape, and the beautiful New Forest National Park, all ideal for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting. In May and June, a visit to National Trust Mottisfont (11 miles) is a must, when its renowned rose garden will be in full bloom.
A stable door leads from the courtyard frontage into the striking open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. To the rear is a contemporary L-shaped kitchen, ideal for preparing your favourite meals. Just opposite there is space to dine. After a day spent exploring, light the wood burner before catching up on your favourite shows on the wall-mounted Smart TV. A glass frontage floods this space with light and welcomes your four-legged friend, with a bed and bowls for their use. The first floor is accessed via a winding staircase that extends into the eaves, where there are some areas of restricted head height, which only adds to the charm and character of the property. Here, you’ll find two king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room and WC.
To the front of the property is an open courtyard with furniture for sundowners and morning coffee. The cottage is set in extensive grounds, shared with the adjacent main house and has gated driveway parking.
