A Characterful Period Village Home of Generous Proportions
This attractive period home is arranged over three floors and offers well-balanced accommodation, combining the inherent charm of a traditional property with the practicality required for modern living. The house retains many features associated with its era, including high ceilings, exposed fireplaces and polished hardwood flooring, creating a sense of warmth and authenticity throughout. Together with ample parking, a detached garage and an appealing rear garden, the property represents an excellent opportunity to enjoy village living within easy reach of Salisbury and key commuter routes.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and includes three generous bedrooms, with the principal bedroom occupying the second floor and benefiting from a contemporary en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and served by a characterful family bathroom.
On entering the property, the entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with stripped wood flooring and pleasing ceiling heights. The sitting room features an exposed brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating an inviting focal point, while an understairs cupboard provides useful storage. The kitchen and dining room is fitted in a classic Shaker style, with painted cabinetry, wooden worktops and a ceramic Belfast sink. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and gas hob with extractor above, and there is ample space for a family dining table. A stable door leads through to the conservatory, which overlooks the rear garden and offers flexible additional living space.
The first floor provides two double bedrooms, both retaining period fireplaces, together with a well-appointed family bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a roll-top bath with claw feet and a separate corner shower cubicle, complementing the traditional character of the house. The second floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom suite, offering a sense of privacy along with a modern en-suite shower room.
Outside, the property is approached via a shingle driveway providing parking for two vehicles and access to the detached garage. A stepped flagstone path leads to the front door, with the plot enclosed by a low-level brick wall. To the rear, the west-facing garden is laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by established shrubs, providing a pleasant and private outdoor space. A five-bar gate opens to the rear garden, and there is a right of way along one side of the plot providing vehicular access for a neighbouring property.
The house benefits from gas-fired central heating and mains drainage, an uncommon advantage for a property in a rural village setting.
