About this property
Barn is a welcoming cottage near Salisbury, Wiltshire, set within the New Forest boundary and offering off-road parking and a private garden for relaxed days outdoors. Thoughtfully restored, this single-storey retreat with a mezzanine layout is well-suited to couples seeking time together surrounded by woodland scenery. Step inside to discover a striking open-plan living space, where the double-height vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and tall windows draw in natural light throughout the day.

Just beyond, the bathroom offers a bath with a shower over, ideal for easing into the evening after a day outdoors. Outside, the enclosed patio garden is framed by hedging and furnished for lingering mornings with coffee or alfresco suppers cooked on the barbecue, with space to relax as daylight fades. From the door, the wider area invites exploration. Salisbury is a rewarding day out for couples, home to its magnificent cathedral, the Magna Carta, and the atmospheric streets around the Cathedral Close, with Old Sarum offering sweeping views and a glimpse into the city’s early history.

The medieval city of Salisbury is the jewel in Wiltshire's crown, dominated by the majestic 13th century Gothic cathedral. The cathedral offers 750 years of history including Britain's tallest spire, the world's best preserved original Magna Carta, and Europe's oldest working clock. The surrounding cathedral close, full of architectural gems, is bordered by the River Avon and ancient Chilmark stone walls. The city offers historic streets with charming half-timbered buildings, traditional pubs, characterful shops and a twice-weekly market. Or, stroll along the Town Path and take in the awe-inspiring views across the water meadows towards the cathedral. After dark, there's a thriving arts scene, including one of the country's leading repertory theatres, a lively arts centre, cinema and a wealth of independent restaurants. Should you want to explore further afield then a short drive from Salisbury takes you to Stonehenge, the National Trust's Stourhead House and gardens, majestic Wilton House, as well as the New Forest National Park, and the Hampshire and Dorset coasts. There's so much to see and do in Salisbury and surrounding area that your only concern will be finding the time to do it all!
