Property details

Bedrooms: 3

Wilsford Cottage is a Grade II Listed semi-detached cottage which is believed to have been built around 1900 as an estate cottage. Interestingly, the size of the rooms, and the ceiling heights are greater than one would expect in a traditional thatched cottage. As a consequence of the generous proportions and large windows, the cottage is particularly light and has been well maintained in recent years to provide comfortable accommodation. We believe that the thatch was replaced in about 2001. Both the cottage and the outbuilding have been re-ridged recently. There is a contemporary pressurised hot water system as well as oil fired central heating.

On the ground floor there is an entrance porch which leads to the staircase hall. From here, a door opens to the sitting room which has an open fireplace and exposed floorboards. Beyond the sitting room is a large kitchen/breakfast room which has an oil fired Rayburn, a separate oven with electric hob, fitted cupboards as well as space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. There is also room for a dining table.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms which open off a central landing.

Beyond the kitchen is a large porch which leads to the garden


Wilsford Cottage occupies a slightly elevated position and is surrounded by its generous garden. Behind and to the side of the property there are open fields which provide a distinct feeling of space and light.

Wilsford-cum-Lake is a small, pretty village in the extremely popular Woodford Valley. The village is composed of mainly period properties. The village is surrounded by open countryside through which the River Avon flows. The Woodford Valley is particularly picturesque and contains several pubs and a primary school as well as being easily accessible to Salisbury and the A303.


The garden, which gets sun for most of the day, backs onto open fields and wraps around the western and northern sides of the house. It is mostly laid to lawn and surrounded by mature hedges on all sides.

Outbuildings
There is a traditional stone outbuilding behind the house which currently is used for storage. Subject to the necessary consents, this building would be ideal for conversion to alternative uses including guest accommodation or a home office

There is ample parking for three cars and also a large garage.
