The beautiful stone mullion windows and high-quality finishes immediately set the tone for this charming period home, dating back to the 1750s. The large welcoming entrance hall with beautiful limestone flooring and underfloor heating offers ample space and could serve as a formal dining area. From here, double doors lead into the Garden Room, a light-filled haven with panoramic views across the water meadows and the River Wylye. With air conditioning and tri-fold doors that open onto a secluded terrace, this area is perfect for summer entertaining.
The main reception room is impressive with its oak flooring, underfloor heating, and double doors leading to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is bright and modern, with sleek quartz worktops, limestone flooring with underfloor heating, and high-end appliances, including an American-style fridge-freezer, range cooker with gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer.
The property also has a self-contained 'annexe' on the ground floor, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a nanny. This versatile space comprises a spacious reception room with an open fire and double doors leading to the terrace, a shower room, and a comfortable double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, with a shower over the bath. Two additional double bedrooms, both with built-in storage, are served by a stylish family bathroom, also with a shower over the bath.
The exceptional garden runs alongside the River Wylye and has a charming wooden bridge that crosses the river to a wild area with a pond. The garden is a paradise for nature lovers and especially for fishing enthusiasts with fishing right on the river. A stable and paddock are available by separate negotiation and there is a single garage for additional storage or parking.
Positioned in the stunning Wylye Valley, this property offers endless opportunities for dog walking, outdoor pursuits, and countryside living. There is access to the public footpath to Bapton and Wylye direct from the garden across the surrounding water meadows. There are two excellent pubs within walking distance, The Bell Inn at Wylye and the Prince Leopold in Upton Lovell, perfect for Sunday lunches or evenings out. Despite its peaceful, rural setting, the property enjoys easy access to the A303, providing excellent connections to Salisbury, Bath, and beyond. The area is well-served by highly regarded schools, making it a practical and appealing choice for families.
