The Thatched Hive

Come to unwind in this quiet part of Wiltshire, excellent for walking, cycling, visiting Salisbury or just sitting in the garden with a book and listening to birdsong. Inside is light and fresh with bright upholstery in the sitting room and lots of pictures on the walls. On dull days there’s an open fire, books to read, games to play and a Dansette record player with a box of records.

Upstairs are two bedrooms, both overlooking the garden with a blend of modern and antique furniture and gorgeous fabrics. The kitchen is a good size and has underfloor heating, a table near the garden end and plenty of space at the business end with attractive vintage china, glasses and dishes. A handy utility room for muddy boots is off here and you’ll find milk in the fridge and a welcome hamper.

A charming cottage garden faces south, has a lawn, an ancient apple tree and lots of seating for sunbathers or al fresco meals.
