With a plot of 3.86 acres, an attractive Grade II listed detached house, dating from early seventeenth century, with square-panelled timber-framing, and half-hipped thatched roof, with many period features such as timber beams, fireplaces and panelling, and offering three reception rooms, garden room, five bedrooms, gardens, parking and double garage and 3 acre paddock.

A spacious hall opens into the kitchen which has an electric Aga and is fully fitted with white units and a wooden worktop. There is a useful pantry off the kitchen with shelving cupboards, space and plumbing for appliances and an oil fired central heating boiler. The vendor says: “We extended the kitchen to make a garden room which is fully glazed and the perfect space to sit and eat and chat and enjoy looking out over the garden.” On the other side of the hall are three large reception rooms. The drawing room has an inglenook fireplace and timber beams. The sitting room has a fitted carpet, stone fireplace, and bookshelves and views over the garden. The dining room at the other end of the house has a brick fireplace and views out over the orchard. Also on this floor is a cloakroom and a small study. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, one of which is the principal bedroom which has a shower opposite and there is also a bathroom with separate shower. The top floor has two double bedrooms and there is a sitting room/teenagers’ den in between them.

The vendor continues: “ The garden wraps round three sides of the house and is well stocked with mature shrubs and is laid to lawn, as well as an orchard with apple trees and plum trees. There are hedgerows at the back, and we purchased the three acre paddock, which can be accessed from the garden as well as the lane. The paddock has a stream at the bottom. There is a gravel drive at the front of the house with parking for up to four cars. And there is a double garage and a small barn.”

“This is such a lovely, quiet unspoilt part of Wiltshire, in the foothills of Salisbury Plain. Westbury is 6.7 miles away with a train service to London and the West country. A nice gourmet pub , the Three Daggers, is in Edington 1.5 miles away and Erlestoke Golf Club is 0.6 miles away. There are stunning country walks around here, and three liveries in the village, and so many bridleways on Salisbury plain. There is a village hall in the village and events are organised, such as a harvest supper and summer pic-nic. The artistic town of Frome is 13.1 miles away, and Georgian Bath is 19.2 miles away.”
