A charming stone cottage set in an elevated position on Knook Down, with far-reaching views across the picturesque Wylye valley.
Anstey Cottage, thought to have been built in the 1850s and extended in the twentieth century, is a charming period home constructed of stone under a tiled roof. The current owner has thoughtfully renovated the property, preserving its original character with features of the house.
The recently installed kitchen has a tiled floor and offers an excellent range of floor and wall-mounted units with elegant black granite countertops. A central island provides additional storage and houses an induction hob with an overhead extractor. Integrated appliances include a built-in double oven, fridge freezer and a dishwasher. There is also a water softener. A log-burning stove adds charm and warmth to the space.
The sitting room leads from the kitchen and features charming exposed beams and a fireplace that forms the focal point of the space. There is ample space for a large dining table, creating a welcoming and versatile living area. Beyond, the garden room with French doors which open on to the terrace, offers beautiful views across the garden and surrounding countryside. The inclusion of an en suite wet room comprising shower, basin and WC provides accommodation well suited for use as a ground-floor bedroom if desired. A guest WC completes the accommodation on this level.
Upstairs, the landing leads to a spacious principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, along with two further bedrooms, all of which enjoy lovely views across the countryside. The family bathroom is well-appointed, featuring a separate enclosed shower, bath, basin, and WC.
OUTSIDE
The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by native hedging and planted with a variety of trees and shrubs, including a mature wisteria climbing the front of the house. A paved terrace to the south of the house, featuring a balustrade and steps that lead down to the lower levels of the garden. From this elevated position, there are far-reaching views across the picturesque Wylye Valley.
The property is approached via a shared farm track, which leads to a spacious double garage with power and lighting.
