Truly unique position for this stunning home set in a private and secluded plot of 2 acres nestled between Salterns Lane and Hungerford. A five-bar gate provides access to the gravel driveway which sweeps the edge of the gardens and approaches the front of the property, while continuing to the secondary entrance/exit on Salterns Lane.

The property, with origins dating back to 1860, has been sympathetically extended and improved to create a versatile family home. The current owners carried out the most recent alterations and planning permission is still valid for further extensions, with plans available on request.

The part glazed entrance porch doubles as a boot room, while the fabulous open plan Shaker style kitchen/breakfast room is dual aspect with feature full height windows overlooking the impressive gardens and hosts a Range style cooker and provision for appliances. This area is split level and the dining area benefits from a double height ceiling and is glass and oak framed providing a modern feel. In addition, there is a further bedroom/reception room with an en-suite shower room which can be accessed from both the kitchen area and ancillary bedroom/reception room, for added convenience. The attractive sitting room and dining hall form part of the original Coach House and provide access to a later conservatory extension, being on the west elevation creating a wonderful space to relax in the late afternoon and admire the impressive gardens.

There is an additional family room, again part of the original Coach House, which completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, with a galleried landing which is currently used as a home office/study, the family bathroom which has recently been refitted with a low-profile rainfall shower and freestanding bath. Bedroom one also boasts an en-suite shower room.

The property further benefits from some underfloor heating and a ventilation heat recovery system, solar hot water panels and solar voltaic panels.

Externally the property is sited in an elevated position to maximise the vista across the gardens, which are a real credit to the current owners blending a mixture of lawns, fruit trees and a variety of native and specimen trees with an array of established shrubs and flowering beds. The bottom of the garden provides a tranquil wooded area. In addition, there is a heated swimming pool with an air source heat pump and surrounding terrace, a double detached car barn with twin doors, eaves storage space and power and light with an additional wood/garden store.
