| Believed to date from the mid 17th century, Cosy Cot has been
restored with the utmost taste and care by its current owner.
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".
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. |
