With pretty gable windows and entrance porch featuring pastel-toned paintwork, Apple Cottage is a picture-perfect, characterful retreat, the front of which gives few clues as to its spacious and comfortably designed interior layout.
Our client has enhanced the home during their time in occupation with double glazing and a new log burner, as well as carrying in out a relandscaping progamme.
Suitable for full time occupation, a weekend home, or holiday let, the enchanting accommodation comprises a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room with exposed, painted beams to the ceiling and a vintage fireplace with bread oven and antique wood-burning stove. There is ample space for free-standing kitchen equipment, topped by a wooden work surface, with the addition of a Belfast sink, and there is ample room for relaxed dining in this homely setting which also offers a niche to relax beside the warmth of the fireplace. Rustic terracottatiled flooring extends through to the adjacent sitting room, where a skylight window allows light to flood inside, and a corner fireplace
houses a further wood-burner.
A staircase rises from the sitting room to the upper level landing which gives access to a triple aspect bedroom where elevated views of the surrounding landscape can be enjoyed. The neat adjoining bathroom offers white fixtures with a shower attachment over the bathtub.<br /><br />An area of gravelled hardstanding provides off-road parking which is bordered by clipped hedging creating partition to the garden. A low-level stone wall sits alongside the cottage with a pedestrian gate giving access to a paved pathway which offers a route to the entrance porch. Stone boulders with planted pockets form the edge of a gravelled terrace where al fresco dining can be enjoyed, and a series of steps lead up to a further spot to sit which is backed by the hedged boundary. There are areas of lawn and planted borders containing floral and architectural perennial plants, ground cover planting and attractive shrubs to complement this delightful cottage garden.<br /><br />The property occupies an idyllic position on a quiet lane in the village of Donhead St Mary, a charming village with a strong local community supporting a parish church and a public house, The Forester, in neighbouring Donhead St Andrew. The village is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. Nearby Ludwell provides a convenience store and post office, together with a butcher, whilst Semley and Tisbury offer an array of boutique and independent retailers and further public houses, including The Beckford Arms. Shaftesbury, Gillingham and Salisbury offer a wider range of day to day services.
Tisbury has a direct train line to London Waterloo while the A303 provides road connections to London and the West Country, airports can be found at Bristol, Southampton and Bournemouth.
