The property
The Moat Cottage is a three bed, detached property which was formerly the gardener’s residence to an historic moat house.
The property lies in the tranquil and ancient village of Britford situated on the banks of the River Avon three miles to the southeast of Salisbury.
Britford has one of the oldest Saxon churches in the country.
From the village you have a commanding view of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral and a 15 minute stroll along a riverside footpath will take you to the centre of the City.
This is an idyllic setting to experience both town and country.
The Cottage stands next door to the owner’s house but enjoys a completely private plot together with a secluded patio, garden and off-street parking.
A significant amount of care has been taken by the owners to preserve the original character and features of the cottage while at the same time, providing stylish and ‘state-of-art’ accommodation.
Their efforts have won awards and you will be charmed by the original brickwork, small pane windows, original internal shutters, and exposed beams.
The Cottage has under floor heating, top of the range kitchen and bathroom appliances, traditionally made George Smith furniture and Porta Romana lamps.
The three bedrooms are split between one king size double with ensuite shower room with shower, WC and basin, and one four poster double and one twin.
The Moat Cottage has everything you could wish for from a holiday cottage, especially in a romantic sense.
Local amenities include a shop and pub with two miles from the property.
