Manor Cottage

Manor Cottage is a delightful detached period property of brick, render and timber elevations under a shingle roof which is believed to date back to the 17th Century. In 2007 a comprehensive restoration programme began on the property which included re-roofing, re-rendering, new windows, new services and re-configuration of the internal layout, creating a single dwelling extending to some 2,858 ft2 (GEA), providing well presented accommodation arranged over 2 floors. This programme of works was completed by 2011 and has served to enhance the great character and charm of Manor Cottage which also enjoys exceptional south facing views across the countryside towards Salisbury Plain.
