Description
Coming to the market for the first time in 30 years, this fabulous, Grade II Listed, period property was built in 1750 by William Hunt and has been extended by the current owners. Full of period features such as oak floors, mahogony stair rail, fireplaces, wooden shutters and solid doors, the finish is of the highest quality.
Classically proportioned with extensive accommodation, and beautiful, mature gardens, this property is the perfect family home. Located on the edge of the popular village of West Lavington, with easy access to Salisbury Plain, the property offers great privacy. Built of brick with roughcast render to the northern elevation, under a slate roof, the Portico is of Tuscan stone and approached via a gated, gravelled drive.
The portico leads through to the entrance hall, with sweeping staircase and oak floor. The hall is flanked by the large study with fitted bookshelves on one side and the drawing room on the other both with open fires.
The kitchen/dining room on the west side is the perfect place for family living with log burner and French windows out to the terrace and views over the stream and gardens. Painted wooden kitchen units are topped with granite worksurfaces in the middle of which is a four oven, oil fired AGA. There is also a large walk-in pantry to one side. Beyond this, in the 21st Century, two-storey extension, is a purpose-built utility room and laundry room.
The reception rooms are large and well-proportioned with high ceilings, cornicing and fireplaces. The north and west facing drawing room also opens out to the gardens via large French windows onto the terrace. As well as the study, there is a playroom and family sitting room, all with oak floors and fireplaces.
The first-floor bedrooms are all large doubles one of which has an en suite bathroom and the principal is suitably expansive with further ensuite bathroom with shower and double sinks. On the second floor are two further attic bedrooms, one of which is en suite. This could easily be set up as a one-bedroom flat or offices.
Outside there is a large lawned area running down to the stream and beyond this, over a bridge, are further terraced beds with mature shrubs and seating areas. A large summerhouse with kitchen and BBQ terrace is to one side and behind this is the tennis court with further summerhouse. There is also a large tool and outside furniture shed.
To the rear of the house are two further sheds and log store as well as a east/south facing second terrace/seating area.
