9 bed detached house for sale

The Street, West Winterslow, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP5

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an original Georgian house that has just undergone a major program of works. It is set in a much sought-after area and the new owners will be the first to use all the wonderful space and facilities it offers.

The main house was built in 1768 with classic Georgian proportions and styling. It retains original features including panelling, carved fireplaces, and original polished oak floorboards. It has been sensitively and extensively renovated with all new services, bathrooms, and kitchen by Tom Howley. It also has an interesting history that is deeply woven into village life and London society. There is a separate 4 bedroom studio within the grounds which is totally self-contained.

A generous driveway sweeps up through wrought iron gates to the parking area and Studio with garages. York stone steps lead to the main house, opening into a spacious entrance hall with period flooring. This then leads into the family sitting room, a fine panelled Georgian dining room, study with oak mezzanine and impressive vaulted kitchen. The kitchen faces south and east with folding doors to a further stone terrace. Additional ground floor amenities include a walk-in larder, utility room, music room, and boot room with cloakroom. The first floor has a main bedroom suite with en suite bathroom and vaulted dressing room and a library ladder leading to a further mezzanine. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor provides two additional large bedrooms featuring exposed roof timbers and brickwork, each with an en suite bathroom. The property also benefits from a cellar accessed from the outside, with full height ceilings.

A totally enclosed garden surrounds the property with most rooms in the main house and the studio looking south over terraced lawns. A kitchen garden with raised beds faces east to west and also contains a traditional potting shed.

The studio also offers three covered car ports (one leading to a further internal garage/gym). The ground floor has a large entrance hall, bedroom shower room and utility. The first floor contains an open-plan kitchen with dining area and sitting room with large studio windows, log burner, three further bedrooms and family bathroom. This is a substantial property that combines period character with modern amenities, offering flexible living spaces and extensive grounds.
