3 bed character property for sale
Cobb Cottage, Great Wishford, Salisbury (ref: RS196)

Cobb Cottage is one of those homes that instantly feels right - full of warmth and character and with a layout and flow that perfectly suits modern living. Originally a 17th-century cob and flint cottage, it has been extended over the years into a surprisingly spacious home that blends period charm with comfort and practicality. With its lovely garden, a versatile home office and no onward chain, this is a cottage that's ready to be loved and lived in straight away.

The entrance hall opens into the dining room where solid oak flooring and exposed beams give the room warmth and character. The fireplace is a real focal point and is fitted with an Italian woodburner beneath a beautiful, reclaimed oak mantle. It's a room that works just as well for quiet family suppers as it does for weekend gatherings.

A distinctive oak archway opens into a beautifully crafted, rustic-style kitchen. Bespoke solid oak units, granite worktops and underfloor heating combine beautifully with modern touches including an American-style fridge/freezer and integral dishwasher. A Lacanche dual-fuel range cooker sits at its heart and there's also a utility cupboard for neatly housing a washing machine and tumble dryer. Antique doors, reclaimed from a French farmhouse and fitted with stunning stained-glass panes, lead through to the sitting room adding colour and a touch of artistry.

Just beyond the stable door from the kitchen, a covered outdoor kitchen complete with Belfast sink and built-in BBQ makes alfresco cooking and dining wonderfully easy. It's a private and sheltered spot, perfect for summer evenings.

The sitting room is a light and inviting space, with solid oak flooring, a wood-burning stove and bifold doors that open onto the terrace. Facing south-west, it catches the sun from late morning and offers the perfect spot to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the garden. There is also a downstairs WC and useful storage off the hallway.

Upstairs, the cottage feels light and airy with three bedrooms - two generous doubles and a charming single. The main bedroom is bright and spacious, with dual-aspect windows that make the most of the natural light. The shower room is classic in style, fitted with porcelain tiles and nickel fixtures, giving it a timeless, high-quality finish.

Outside, the south-west facing garden is a private and peaceful spot. The Indian sandstone patio is perfect for outdoor dining or morning coffee, and the four-seater hot tub adds a touch of indulgence. The bespoke garden office is another standout feature - purpose-built, double glazed and with underfloor heating. This is ideal as a workspace, hobby studio or peaceful retreat. Both the house and the office are fitted with a Yale alarm system for peace of mind.

There are also two off-road parking spaces right beside the cottage a valuable feature in this village setting.
