Whiteparish, Salisbury, SP5

The property has been subject to a comprehensive schedule of refurbishment and reimagination, creating a home that is ideally suited to modern day living with an abundance of generous family-oriented living accommodation perfectly positioned within its generous plot.

Upon entering, the size and scale of this superior home is apparent. The welcoming entrance hall gives way to all principal reception rooms and is central to the flexible ground floor accommodation. There is an elegant drawing room that is flooded with natural light from the dual aspect windows and has a warming feature fireplace with an inset log burning stove. To the rear there is a secondary reception room or playroom that in turn leads through to the formal dining room. Adjoining is the ‘heart of the home’ kitchen/breakfast room/family room. This ‘live in’ space is gorgeously appointed with a substantial kitchen area with ample contemporary built in storage units with quality integrated appliances set behind, built in larder and vast central island. Beyond there is ample space for a large dining suite and comfortable casual seating area. Adjoining the kitchen is a discreet utility/laundry room with ample additional storage space. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a cloakroom.

The central stairwell rises to the first floor gallery landing. There are five bedrooms, four of which are good size doubles and a large single or study. The principal bedroom benefits from a sizeable modern en-suite bathroom and a fitted dressing room. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The property is presented in immaculate order throughout and we thoroughly recommend an internal inspection to appreciate both the size of accommodation and the home’s position in this much sought after location.
