A charming detached cottage on a third of an acre plot with potential to extend and centrally situated in the popular village of Stockton.

The property is an attractive detached cottage which is Grade II listed in being of historical and architectural interest with a date stone inscribed 1693. It has attractive dressed limestone and chequered chalk and brick elevations on a hipped thatched roof with a cat slide to the rear.

Upon entering the cottage the light and space is immediately apparent. The characterful accommodation has been greatly enhanced by the recent ground floor extension. The beautiful open plan kitchen/dining/family room consists of a farmhouse style kitchen area, which has been fitted with attractive cabinetry and range style oven and stove. The generous triple aspect dining/family room is flooded with natural light and has a warming fireplace with a two-way log-burning stove (not in use). To the front is the gorgeous formal reception room also with a fireplace. The rear extension houses the substantial vaulted bedroom that has French doors leading to a westerly facing rear terrace. The extension is designed to be versatile in its use, either as a bedroom or an additional reception room. The ground floor is completed by a wetroom/cloakroom and a useful rear lobby.

The first floor accommodation is arranged around the central stairwell and consists of two generous double bedrooms, both dual aspect and boast views across the gardens or the pretty village. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed and services the bedrooms.

The property occupies a delightful location in the centre of the village which is one of the most attractive in the Wylye Valley. Stockton has a public house, The Carriers Arms, and an 800 year old church of St John The Baptist and is surrounded by many unspoilt country walks in the north east Dorset and south west Wiltshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In nearby Codford there are two churches, a school, doctors surgery, public house and filling station which also has a Budgens convenience store and post office. Warminster to the west is readily accessible and provides good shopping, schooling and other amenities including a Waitrose store while Salisbury to the east is within easy reach where there is a wide range of educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market. London is commutable by road via the A303/M3 and by rail via Warminster and Westbury and Paddington and Salisbury into Waterloo. The region is served by a good local road network with a number of nearby centres being within comfortable driving distance.

The property itself is situated to the front of its plot with a large, recently renewed brick paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles and giving access to the detached garage/barn.
