Architect designed and independently built in 1987, Elm House has been lovingly maintained and updated by the current owners since and offers adaptable living space arranged over three floors with an emphasis on relaxed practicality throughout. Immaculately presented, the highlights of this wonderful home include a stunning triple aspect open plan living / dining area and a high specification kitchen. A good size utility and separate boot room combine to add practicality to this comfortable and spacious village house. Upstairs on the first floor are four excellent sized bedrooms, two offering en suite facilities, and a family bathroom. On the second floor are two further bedrooms, one with an en suite WC, which are equally suitable for hobbies, exercise, home office or teenage den! Throughout the house there is generous built in storage.

East Knoyle is a typical English village located on the Wiltshire/Dorset border well known for its natural beauty and undulating countryside and offers all the usual country pursuits. It is a welcoming, active community with an excellent public house, church, children’s play area, well-stocked community shop/post office, and a variety of interest groups. The A303, about 2 miles north, provides access to motorways and airports. The south coast is easily accessed via the A350. Tisbury station (4 m) offers regular connections to London & Exeter. Bath, Bristol & Southampton are served by Warminster. There are 2 good local state secondary schools, 2 grammars in Salisbury and several excellent private schools offering daily transport from the village. Hindon, 3 miles by car or a pleasant cross country walk, has a Dr’s surgery, primary school and several pubs and eateries. Tisbury and Shaftesbury offer a contrasting range of shops and restaurants.

The gardens have been designed for easy maintenance and day long enjoyment. To the front is a gated driveway and parking area, double garage and access to the front garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a gravelled, west facing seating area. The garage has power, water and floored loft. A side loggia adds storage and shelter. There is an electric car charging point. At the rear, the garden backs onto open farmland with extensive views, and has areas of established lawns, specimen trees and easily managed terraced borders for year round colour. There is a small area for vegetables and a greenhouse. To the immediate rear and side of the property, and accessed directly from the open plan living area, is a wrap around terrace. This is partly covered by a glass roofed veranda benefiting from IR heating and lighting for weather resistant alfresco dining. The side terrace offers a private, tranquil space. There are light, power and water points throughout the gardens.
