***WATCH THE VIDEO TOUR***

An exceptional and highly individual country residence extending to almost 4,700 sq ft, set within approximately half an acre of mature gardens with outstanding countryside views. Originally constructed in the 1930s and significantly extended over the years, this impressive home offers seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, a cellar, substantial reception space, a large outbuilding and covered carport, creating an outstanding opportunity for multi-generational living, entertaining or those seeking a spacious family home in a delightful rural setting.

Approached through electrically operated wrought iron gates, the property immediately impresses with its sweeping circular gravel driveway, centred around an attractive landscaped flower bed and providing extensive parking. A substantial covered carport sits alongside the driveway, while beautifully maintained gardens, mature planting and established lawns create a wonderful sense of privacy and arrival.

Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the accommodation, with its generous proportions, elegant staircase and access to the principal reception rooms, kitchen, cellar and rear hallway. High ceilings and large windows throughout the home create an abundance of natural light, enhancing the sense of space that is evident across all three floors.

The magnificent drawing room is an outstanding reception space, extending to over 30 feet in length and featuring a striking bay window, log-burning stove and direct access onto the raised deck, perfectly positioned to enjoy the surrounding gardens and countryside views. The formal dining room is equally impressive, with an attractive fireplace, oak-panelled feature wall and another beautiful bay window, creating an elegant setting for entertaining. A well-appointed study, complete with bespoke fitted shelving, built-in desk and views across the rear garden, provides an excellent home office or library.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the exceptional kitchen and breakfast room.

High-quality integrated appliances include double refrigerators, double freezers, twin ovens, a six-ring gas hob, dishwasher and twin sinks, while generous dining space makes it perfectly suited to everyday family life as well as larger gatherings. A rear lobby, cloakroom and useful cellar housing the boiler and utility area complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor offers five generous bedrooms together with three beautifully appointed bath and shower rooms. The superb principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, featuring extensive fitted wardrobes, a luxurious en-suite bathroom and doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside. Several of the remaining bedrooms also enjoy direct access to balconies, allowing residents to fully appreciate the exceptional rural setting.

The second floor provides further flexible accommodation comprising two additional double bedrooms, two further bathrooms and a spacious landing area, ideal as a study, reading space or informal sitting area. This level is perfectly suited to older children, guests or multi-generational family living.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A large raised deck immediately adjoining the house provides a superb setting for alfresco dining and entertaining, with steps descending to beautifully maintained lawns bordered by mature shrubs, specimen trees and established planting. Beyond the gardens sits a substantial workshop and store, offering excellent versatility for those requiring space for hobbies, business use, classic vehicles or additional storage.

The property occupies a delightful rural position between the sought-after villages of Fisherton de la Mere and Wylye, surrounded by the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. Wylye offers a village shop, public house, church and village hall, while nearby Codford provides further everyday amenities including a doctor's surgery, supermarket, post office, veterinary practice and theatre. The market town of Warminster offers a wider selection of shopping facilities, including Waitrose, together with a mainline railway station providing services to London Waterloo and Bath. The Cathedral City of Salisbury lies within easy reach, offering an outstanding range of shopping, cultural and educational facilities, while the nearby A303 provides excellent road links to London, the South West and beyond.

This remarkable home combines substantial living accommodation with exceptional versatility, making it equally suited to large or multi-generational families, those working from home or buyers seeking an impressive country residence with extensive entertaining space.
