Approach the property via a sweeping gated driveway which offers ample off-street parking and access to a detached double garage, positioned to the right-hand side of a generous and level front garden which comes complete with a beautiful pond and sizeable secure working kennel with power.  This double garage currently benefits from light, power, a window and rear pedestrian door to access a courtyard space as well as useful storage space in the loft above - Perfect for vehicular storage or as a workshop / hobbies space. More notably, there has been full planning permission previously granted to develop the double garage and create additional accommodation which would add two bedrooms, one with far reaching countryside views, bathroom and a kitchen/diner, whilst retaining the double garage (19/12185/FUL).

Step inside and find a welcoming and light central entrance hall, complete with convenient storage and access to a cloakroom with W.C. To the left, a spacious, double-aspect sitting room measures over twenty-feet in length, inviting relaxation and featuring an open fireplace within an impressive stone surround. Doors from this sitting room open to the conservatory at the rear of the house, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living and providing versatile space for use as a playroom etc.  

A separate double aspect reception/dining room occupies the front of the other side of this entrance hallway, perfect for formal entertaining, while a dedicated study at the rear centre provides an ideal and peaceful space for working from home. The kitchen, located at the rear right, includes a practical utility area and side access for added convenience, further, to housing the modern (Nov 2019) oil-fired boiler amongst a variety of fitted NEFF appliances. 

The first floor hosts four generously sized double bedrooms accessible from the light and expansive galleried landing, ensuring ample space for a family plus guests, along with an abundance of loft space above. These are complemented by a large bathroom complete with a full-length bath with shower over, sink, W.C.  The main bedroom benefits from a useful en suite shower room which comes complete with a W.C, sink and heated towel rail and lots of light that often streams in through the window. The views looking out from this first floor (in particular the two rear-facing bedrooms, which come with fitted wardrobe storage) are simply marvellous - basking in an uninterrupted vista which stretches for miles across rolling countryside towards Salisbury Plain and the White Horse.

The large South-facing garden is a true highlight, featuring an expansive and highly-private lawn, complemented by an inviting seating area ideal for al fresco dining. Bordered with mature tall trees and newly installed fencing, this private outdoor sanctuary offers plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy.
