Firsdown, Salisbury, SP4

Occupying a wonderful elevated position, boasting gorgeous views and surrounded by delightful countryside is Figsbury Cottage. The home is idyllically positioned just a short walk from the National Trusts Figsbuy Ring, an Iron Age Hill Fort and boasts glorious sunrise and sunset views.

This wonderful, deceptively spacious country cottage has been beautifully updated and maintained in recent years, including the addition of a garden studio/office. The flexible and flowing accommodation is a particular feature with an abundance of light and modern décor combining perfectly with original 1920s period features. The expansive ground floor accommodation can be adapted to suit families or couples alike.

The welcoming entrance lobby/breakfast room gives way to the principal living area. To the right is the glorious formal drawing room. This substantial room has a vaulted ceiling creating a light and airy ambience, a formal ideal drawing room or family room. Alternatively this room could be used as a generous ground floor bedroom. Through into the original home there is a well appointed kitchen with granite work surfaces, quality integrated NEFF appliances and a discreet utilities cupboard. Beyond there is a stunning contemporary shower room. To the front is the characterful reception room, currently a dining/sitting room that features French doors opening to the rear garden terrace and a focal point feature fireplace with an inset log burning stove, a slate hearth and Oak mantle over. On the first floor there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, two generous doubles both boasting lovely views. The bedrooms are serviced by a modernised family bathroom.

Outside
The beautifully maintained gardens extend to 0.5 of an acre. The grounds enjoy a wonderful degree of privacy and back onto open paddock land with Figsbury Ring in the far distance. Behind a gated entrance, the extensive gravel driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and gives access to the double car barn. The parkland gardens surround the home and are predominantly laid to lawn flanked by contoured floral and herbaceous borders and interspersed with fruit and specimen trees such as a flowering Cherry and Walnut Tree. The paved terrace enjoys a sunny westerly aspect and is ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. There are then two raised beds and two stand alone sheds, one with power, and a greenhouse. An outside electric point can also be found. In addition there is superb, purpose built studio office that is fully insulated with a glazed front elevation and has been beautifully finished internally creating a wonderful home working space.
