Approach along a brick pathway to a thatched entrance porch. Sitting room with inglenook fireplace containing a wood burning stove. 'Shaker style' fitted kitchen with excellent electric 'range' cooker, oak worktops, integral appliances. Utility/drying room. Rear hallway giving access to a double height dining room with vaulted ceiling and to a Victorian style bathroom/wc with roll top bath & separate shower cubicle. Stairs to 1st floor landing. 3 bedrooms: 2 doubles and 1 twin.

Thoughtfully landscaped garden, enclosed at the front by a white picket fence, and with a large stone/brick paved terrace at the rear. Stepped pathway winds up to a raised lawn area, the majority bordered by a picket fence; good views from here over the neighbouring fields. N.B. small children should be supervised in this area due to the steep drop.

Believed to date from the mid 17th century, Cosy Cot has been restored with the utmost taste and care. Situated next to the historic village church with its Norman origins, it has been harmoniously extended and lavishly modernised inside whilst retaining every ounce of its original character and charm. Special features are the inglenook fireplace with its bressumer beam and the dining room with its vaulted ceiling. Cosy Cot was featured in the BBC series "Britain's Dream Homes" and has been assessed as being at the top of the 4 star grading category by Visit Britain.

Stapleford is an attractive country village with a local pub and network of foot and bridle paths, lying some 7 miles north west of the cathedral city of Salisbury along the Wylye Valley. From here there is easy access to a whole host of visitor attractions - Stonehenge, Wilton House, Old Sarum, the Georgian city of Bath and The New Forest and, with the A303 being just 4 miles away, London is reachable in under 2 hours.

For an ancient cottage, Cosy Cot is surprisingly light, many of the rooms having triple aspect windows. The downstairs rooms have under floor heating keeping the flagstone floors warm in the winter months and the bedrooms have floorboards with restored, cast iron radiators.
