For Sale5 Bedroom House in West Street, Barford St. Martin, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP3 4AS£1,800,000

A handsome Grade II listed house, with a two bedroom annexe, set in the sought after Nadder Valley Barford Lodge, constructed in the late 17th century, stands as a fine example of period architecture. Built from dressed limestone, the building is rich in historical detail. The property offers spacious and flexible accommodation over three floors. In addition to the main house, the property includes an annexe and other outbuildings. The current owners, since 2002, undertook a significant extension in 2019. This extension has transformed the kitchen into the perfect central ‘hub' of the home, seamlessly integrating it with the rest of the living space. Barford Lodge features a substantial stone entrance porch, leading to the entrance hall. This provides access to all the main reception rooms on the ground floor, creating a smooth and welcoming flow throughout the home. The drawing room at Barford Lodge is a spacious, double-aspect room, allowing plenty of natural light to stream in from each aspect. This feature creates a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The room also boasts a Victorian fireplace, serving as a charming focal point and providing warmth and character. Complementing this, is the exposed wooden floor, which adds to the room's traditional charm and enhances its period appeal. There is a Study, previously used as a library. It features herringbone parquet, wooden flooring and an adjoining passage with a Wainscott panelled wall. A rare example of a Jacobean era plank and muntin screen then separates this room from the Dining Hall, which has a magnificent Inglenook fireplace. From the Dining Hall, two openings lead through to the well designed Kitchen/Breakfast room. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with a range of both floor and wall units and state of the art Dekton work surfaces throughout. A kitchen island provides further storage and workspace. An AGA, plus a Neff electric hob with an extractor and a Neff slide and hide built-in electric double oven, offer flexibility when cooking. The kitchen opens into the 2019 addition, which enhances the space with a decorative tiled floor and original exposed stone walling. A bespoke clerestory roof lantern, mounted onto a lead surfaced roof, floods the area with natural light. The Kitchen also features a well with a glass top. On the first floor the principal bedroom is double aspect, with an outstanding eleven-inch original oak floor, overlooked by a four centred ‘Tudor'arch fireplace. A large en-suite bathroom adjoins. On this level are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom, laundry room and boiler room. From the landing a further staircase takes you to the top floor, where there is another bedroom, two attic rooms and a sizeable landing. The Annexe Within the grounds is a recently completed annexe, self-contained, adding significant value and versatility to the property and making it suitable for a variety of needs and opportunities. At approximately 1,300 square feet, it includes a large open plan kitchen/diner/living area and two bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms. There is also a utility room. Gardens and Grounds A gravel driveway through a gated access leads past the house and on to a spacious parking area in between the main house and the annexe/workshop and wood store. The mature gardens extending to circa 1.4 acres, are predominantly laid to lawn with shrub and floral borders. Numerous mature trees including Yew, Cedar, Lime and Maple offer seclusion to the property. The front garden features an historic fruiting Mulberry tree and is bordered by Yew hedging to the front and sides. The swimming pool is heated and is located centrally within the plot, bordered by hedging and picket fencing. There is a large workshop with adjoining log store. A timber framed granary on staddle stones provides further storage. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
