An attractive detached village house with well appointed accommodation and a landscaped garden pleasantly situated on the edge of the village.
The property, which has attractive stone elevations beneath a tiled roof, is a charming village house which has recently been considerably improved by the current owners who have created an appealing property which has a high specification, with the well designed accommodation being perfect for both family life and entertaining. The windows have been replaced with UPVC double glazing; an external oil fired boiler has been installed, servicing radiators and providing hot water. The kitchen has been re-fitted and the property has been re-decorated. The garden has been landscaped, providing a particularly attractive setting for the house. There is the possibility of creating a fourth bedroom, if required, and also the opportunity to convert the area above the garage into a very useful work space or studio, subject to the usual planning consents.
To the front of the property is an entrance porch with a canopy and latticed sides, giving access to a hall which has limestone flooring, with stairs leading to the first floor, and a desk recess beneath. There is a cloakroom with a WC which has a concealed cistern and a wash hand basin in a vanity unit in addition to tiled walls and flooring; also a heated towel rail. To the right of the hall is a kitchen/breakfast room which has been re-fitted and incorporates a double bowl Astini sink, numerous base and wall units of cupboards and drawers, shelving and bottle racks. There is an integrated dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer, and washing machine; also timber panelled splashbacks, extractor hood, tiled flooring and French doors to the garden. Leading from the hall is a well appointed dining room and an attractive sitting room which has a fireplace with a fitted multi-fuel stove and an attractive Portuguese limestone surround and hearth. French doors lead out to the garden. On the first floor is a landing and access to the loft and the principal bedroom which has two double wardrobes, an en-suite shower room with tiled cubicle, corner WC with concealed cistern, wash hand basin in a vanity unit and tiled flooring and walls. There are two further bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom with a white suite, shelved airing cupboard and tiled walls.
To the side of the property is a garage with up and over door, power and light and storage space in the roof void, which could be converted into work space. There is also an adjoining car port housing a log store. The attractive enclosed garden lies mainly to the side and rear of the property and incorporates a painted wooden shed, established hedging, paved and Cotswold stone paths, seating areas, lawn and numerous specimen shrubs, plants and flowers including fruit trees, lavender borders and roses. The garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property.
The property is situated in the popular village of Wylye which has been fortunate in retaining its local facilities which include a shop with post office and the popular Bell public house. The village lies in a Conservation Area and is in an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and it is also conveniently situated being approximately a mile away from the A303 which gives direct access to the west country and the M3 to London in the east in addition to the Thames Valley corridor. The A36 bypasses the village which also provides a direct route to Salisbury and Warminster, both of which are approximately ten miles away.
There is a wide range of educational, shopping and leisure facilities in Salisbury which combine with a twice weekly market and there is also a mainline railway station with regular services to Waterloo. Warminster also has a mainline railway station with services to Waterloo and Bath.
The area has a number of schools both in the state and private sectors and these include well regarded primary schools in local villages, whilst Salisbury has grammar schools - South Wilts for girls and Bishop Wordsworth for boys. Private schools in the area include Warminster, Dauntseys, Port Regis, Marlborough, Bryanston, Sandroyd with Salisbury having the Cathedral School, Chafyn Grove and Godolphin.
It is unusual for a property such as this to come on to the market and a viewing is highly recommended.
Council tax Band E.
Mains water, electricity, and drainage are available; also a large capacity oil storage tank.
From Salisbury proceed in a westerly direction on the A36 and continue along
here for approximately ten miles and follow the signpost to Wylye and on
entering the village continue past the pub and shop/post office and bear left
and continue into Fore Street. After a short distance turn right into Dinton Road
whereupon the property will be seen a short distance on the left hand side.
