5 bed house for sale
Coombe Cottage, Hanging Langford Salisbury (ref: RS178)

Ideal for families seeking rural charm and plenty of space to grow, this much-loved period home in Hanging Langford offers a rare opportunity to enjoy country life in comfort, surrounded by beautiful gardens, scenic walks, and the kind of warmth only a home with real character can provide.

Blending period charm with generous living spaces, this property and has been thoughtfully extended to provide everything a family could need for modern rural living. The original part of the house, once two separate cottages dating from around 1815, and later the village pub, has been cleverly joined and extended to create a warm, welcoming home with flexible accommodation.

At its heart is a well-planned kitchen with stone travertine flooring, granite worktops, oil-fired Aga, and soft-close cupboards, perfect for everyday living and entertaining alike. From here, the space flows into a spacious family room, added in 2006, where large doors open directly onto the garden, making it ideal for sociable summer living. This room has oak flooring with underfloor heating. There is an adjacent utility room that is well-proportioned and practical.

The drawing room has a wood-burning stove making this a lovely cosy spot for winter evenings, and the dining room has 2 feature fireplaces which are just perfect for decorating at Christmas. There is also a quiet study, a ground floor family bathroom and a small gym room tucked away which offer more flexibility for working from home, creative pursuits or everyday practical use.

Upstairs, the house continues to impress with four double bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles with en-suite shower rooms, high ceilings and velux windows which let in plenty of natural light. The principal bedroom has wonderful views over the garden and the surrounding countryside and benefits from underfloor heating and built-in cupboards. There is also a good size single bedroom.

The second bedroom mirrors many of these features and also has beautiful views and the same sense of warmth and space. Bedroom 3 has excellent storage, and two further rooms are ideal guest, children's or hobby spaces and have lovely views across to the hills.

Outside, the property opens out into a wonderful half-acre garden which has been thoughtfully planted and cleverly divided into a series of 'garden rooms' with hedging and a rich array of herbaceous borders, mature trees and fruit trees. From the Mediterranean-style walled garden by the kitchen (perfect for quiet morning coffee among the honeysuckle), to the open lawns and shady spots that change with the movement of the sun, every part of the garden is a delight.

A standout feature is the heated outdoor pool, added in 2001, with a pool house containing the pump and filter. The large pool patio area makes this the perfect spot for laid-back summer days, pool parties and BBQs. For families with children or visiting grandchildren, the space is safe and enclosed and there is plenty of off-road parking for several vehicles, as well as an old timber garage just across the lane.

The house is surrounded by peaceful countryside and a strong community spirit. Local village halls offer a range of activities, and there are tennis courts, walking trails, and cycle routes all around, providing plenty to enjoy just outside your front door. A mobile library visits regularly, and for younger families there is a good choice of quality private and public schools, in both Salisbury and Warminster.

The village is served by bus routes including the community-run 'wiggly' bus, while further amenities include a small supermarket and fuel station just ten minutes away in Codford. For dining and socialising there are a number of excellent pubs within easy reach; The Rainbow Inn is walkable and The Bell at Wylye is a short cycle ride away. A short drive takes you to popular favourites like The Boot, The Beckford Arms and The Prince Leopold.

Salisbury and Warminster are within a comfortable driving distance, offering a full range of shops, schools and services, while the surrounding landscape makes this an ideal base for anyone who enjoys walking, running or cycling in the countryside. With so many ways to enjoy both the home and the location, this is a property where generations can gather, grow and make incredible memories.
