Old Charlie Youngs Cottage is an attractive, period home with a wealth of
character features, including exposed gnarly timber beams, which blend
harmoniously with thoughtfully - crafted interior styling to create an
enchanting home. The property originally dates back to 1730 and was extended
by the current owner in 2011. The ground floor accommodation flows from a
welcoming reception hall with flagstone flooring which extends into a
practical utility/cloakroom. There is also a comfortable family room with
brick - built fireplace. On the opposite side of the hall, the sitting room is
filled with natural light courtesy of south - west facing French doors and an
open link to the kitchen/dining area. Fitted with a Belfast sink and rustic,
handmade cabinetry which is original to the house, the kitchen is centred
around an aga with stone feature splashback, and a glazed door which opens
into the rear garden.
There are two bedrooms on the first floor, along with a family bathroom, with
the principal room being accessed via a study area and having the benefit of a
well - appointed en - suite shower room. An outbuilding to the front of the
cottage offers an office space for home working or hobbyists, with an
adjoining summerhouse, offering plenty of additional storage.
/>Mature trees and hedging to the front boundaries provide a sense of
seclusion at the property, which is approached via a length of gravelled
driveway offering parking for numerous vehicles. An attractive selection of
mature shrubs and trees frame the lawned area of the front garden, which
enjoys an outlook over a lake. A side picket - gate provides a route through to
the rear garden which features clipped hedging and a paved courtyard. There is
space for outdoor entertaining, with direct access to the kitchen, and
flowering climbing plants and a blossom tree create a delightful setting for
relaxation in this peaceful rural setting. There is also a tool shed and a
wood hopper.

Situated just to the north of the village of Bourton,
where there is a good range of local amenities including a public house and
garage/post office/village stores, the property also enjoys a setting on the
edge of the Cranborne Chase aonb and is in close proximity to Bullpits Golf
Club for golf enthusiasts. The nearby town of Gillingham provides everyday
needs with a Waitrose store, along with a mainline railway station with
services to Salisbury and London. Communications in the area are excellent
with the A303 providing links to the national motorway network, London and the
West Country.
For schooling, there is a wide range of noted independent schools which
include Port Regis, Clayesmore, Warminster and Bryanston School. The cathedral
city of Salisbury is within easy reach and provides a comprehensive range of
recreational, shopping and cultural facilities including the Salisbury
Playhouse theatre and a multi - screen cinema, along with further rail services
offering journeys to London, Cardiff, Exeter and Bristol.
