For Sale6 Bedroom House in Noade Street, Ashmore, Salisbury, SP5 5AA£1,700,000

A light-filled contemporary family home, in a wonderful position on the Cranborne Chase. Ash Mead is of brick and part rendered elevations under a slate roof, standing in grounds of approximately one acre in the centre of the village. The property occupies an elevated site, with lovely views over the surrounding countryside which is a Conservation Area. The original house dates back to 1950 but when it was bought in 2016 by the current owners, the house was extended and completely refurbished. The comprehensive programme of refurbishment included substantially enlarging the property, maximising the natural light throughout, with meticulous attention to detail. The house now extends to over 4,300 sq ft and attributes include light and bright accommodation with well-proportioned rooms, a well equipped kitchen and limestone and oak flooring throughout the majority of the ground floor. The rooms along the rear elevation all benefit from glass doors opening out to on the wraparound terrace and lovely rural views. The accommodation is largely open-plan, with a good flow between the rooms. Ash Mead provides some great space for both family living and entertaining on equal scale. The vaulted entrance hall provides an impressive and light-filled welcome. The study is to one side, whilst the sitting room links with drawing room and kitchen/dining room across the back. There is a utility room with side door leading out to the kitchen garden, parking and double garage. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms on the first floor, two with en suite shower rooms, whilst two share a family bathroom. The second floor is ideal for older children or guests, with two further double bedrooms and a shower room. Outside The property is approached up a gravel drive flanked by beech whips on one side and beech hedging on the other, leading to a large car parking and turning area. There is a timber-clad double garage under a pitched slate roof with steps at the back leading to a loft room above which, subject to the usual consents, could be put to a variety of uses including a potential annexe or home office. The gardens extend to approximately an acre and provide a lovely backdrop to the property with some fine mature trees including chestnut, beech and ash together with a wide variety of indigenous planting, screening the property from the lane.
