4 bedroom detached house

The property comprises the original period stone cottage which has been extended a number of times to create a well-proportioned house. The rooms are a good size and are conveniently laid out off a central hall. The drawing room is especially light, with French windows to the garden, a gas fire and superb southerly views towards the Westbury and Salisbury Plain. The sitting room and dining room are both a good size and the former has a woodburning stove. The kitchen re-fitted by the current owner about 10 years ago. It has an Aga and a door to the garden. On the first floor the main bedroom has a dressing area and en suite bathroom and excellent views. There are three further double bedrooms (one used as a study) and a second bathroom.

On the west side of the house is a large gravelled parking area. Adjoining this is a double garage, with exterior steps leading up a useful Home Office with a separate cloakroom. To the rear is a shed and greenhouse. The gardens are mainly walled and comprise two separate areas. The larger is to the south of the house, with lawns, mixed borders and ornamental trees including a fine magnolia. There is a pond at one end and wonderful views.
