The Property

Set in the heart of the stunning and highly sought after Chalke Valley, Stoke Meadow Cottage is a gorgeous four bedroom period cottage with outstanding views, gorgeous gardens, off road parking, and a double garage with annexed accommodation above.

Crammed full of period features and updated in a sympathetic fashion, the house really is beautifully presented and comes with nothing to do. The house is very pretty indeed and is constructed from a typical local vernacular of brick interspersed with Chilmark stone and flint with a tile roof. Accessed via a formal front door leading through a small porch to an open plan dining room/snug, a very well appointed modern kitchen is right next door and offers plenty of above and below counter storage. The worktop is polished granite with an inset sink and electric hob. The boot room echoes the same design as the kitchen and opens back door which in turn leads through to an exit/entrance area, the drive, garden and on to the annexe/garage. The kitchen also leads through to a spacious sitting room with an inglenook fireplace containing a wood burning stove. One side of the room is part glazed with six large windows and French windows all coming together to provide spectacular views to the south to be enjoyed all year round. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, each with lovely views, and three bathrooms, two of which are ensuite. The smallest bedroom is currently used as a home office.

Over the way to a fantastic annexe which has a useful utility room and large double garage on the ground floor, upstairs there is a large studio (suitable for a variety of uses) and a bathroom.
