The front door is protected by a traditional beehive thatched porch, a welcoming entrance lobby.
The cosy sitting room has a feature stone fireplace; this room leads into the 3rd reception room, which is just the right size for a snug, home office or hobby space. The charming separate dining room showcases flagstone floors, original built-in shelves and alcove cupboards. To the rear of the cottage is a sunny kitchen with walk-in pantry.
There are 2 good sized double bedrooms on the first floor. A smaller bedroom is offset from the main bedroom and could be used as dressing area or nursery. There is a bathroom and a separate toilet on the first floor.
A pretty and well stocked courtyard garden is south east facing. The garden has a pedestrian access to Old Street and a detached shed with light and power.
The cottage has undergone a program of redecoration and improvement works in preparation to be sold. It has been freshly painted throughout, has had a damp proof membrane system installed to the whole of the ground floor, and has newly fitted carpets.
Sheepe cottage still has its original windows which are single glazed. Parts of the first floor have low ceilings with height of 5'11 (180cm), which all adds to the quirky charm of the property.
The cottages in this terrace were originally known as Rose and Crown Terrace, named after the local public house that owned the cottages. In the times of old, farmers would herd sheep from the meadows of east and west Harnham through this street on the way to the market in the centre of Salisbury.
Harnham lies to the south and west of the Rivers Nadder and Avon. The world-famous Cathedral, Salisbury Tennis and Football clubs, a good pre-school, infant and primary school, shops, hotels and bars are all within easy walking distance. There is permit parking in the road to the front of the house.
If you are dreaming of owning a character cottage but don't want the hassle and expense of renovation work, this could be the perfect property for you.
