Description

***WATCH THE VIDEO TOUR***

Welcome to Ashcroft, an exceptional opportunity to acquire a spacious and beautifully maintained five double bedroom family home, set within stunning, mature grounds in the desirable village of Porton. This impressive residence has been thoughtfully extended and meticulously improved by the current owners, offering characterful and versatile accommodation ideal for modern family life.

Tucked away off a quiet country lane, Ashcroft is approached via a long, sweeping driveway shared with one neighbouring property. Lined with trees and enveloped in greenery, the setting offers both seclusion and a sense of retreat, while remaining within easy reach of the village's amenities. A large, shingled driveway provides generous parking for multiple vehicles, accompanied by a separate garage building. The home opens into an entrance porch leading to a welcoming hallway, currently arranged as a study with a side-facing window.

The kitchen/dining room is a charming and sociable space, full of character with exposed brickwork, timber beams, and tiled flooring. There is ample room for a large dining table, with the kitchen area offering a range of matching wall and base units, laminated worktops, a ceramic sink with drainer, and a window overlooking the front garden. Adjacent is a practical utility room with additional cabinetry and space for white goods, as well as a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, and a rear door to the garden.

On the ground floor is a generously sized double bedroom with dual aspect windows and a private en-suite shower room. This room features a double shower cubicle, wash basin, and extensive fitted storage, making it ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The main sitting room is a warm and inviting space, enhanced by exposed beams and a wood-burning stove. From here, a cosy snug enjoys dual aspect views and double doors opening onto the garden. A garden room adjoins, featuring glazing on three sides and a solid roof, creating a serene year-round space that seamlessly connects indoors with the outdoors.

Stairs rise from the dining area to the first floor, where four further double bedrooms are located. Each bedroom is generously proportioned and full of natural light. The principal bedroom features a window to the side and an original open fireplace, while another bedroom benefits from dual aspect windows, adding to its bright and airy feel. A further bedroom is currently used as a study and enjoys dual aspect views.

The family bathroom is spacious and well-appointed, featuring a full-size bath, separate shower cubicle, WC, wash hand basin, and a large airing cupboard. A window to the side elevation provides natural light and ventilation.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight of this home. A large patio area is ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, leading to a tranquil pond and expansive lawn bordered by mature trees, shrubs, and vibrant planting. Additional features include a timber cabin/garden office, two sheds, and greenhouse, perfect for those with green fingers or a love of outdoor living.

Ashcroft is a beautifully presented and well-balanced family home, offering a rare combination of space, charm, and privacy in a highly regarded village setting.

About Oliver Chandler, Salisbury

62 Castle Street, Salisbury, SP1 3TS

A property team built on firm foundations

Jamie and Faye launched Oliver Chandler in January 2018. But, as one of Salisbury's newest estate agents, they've already become one of its most successful.

However, their story together goes back much further than that!

Collectively, they have more than a couple of decades of property sales and property lettings experience around Salisbury between them to offer you. All of which is built on unrivalled local knowledge.

Faye grew up in the New Forest just to the south of Salisbury, while Jamie's family moved to the area when he was 13 years old. They grew up in the same village and became firm friends while attending secondary school in Fordingbridge

The best of rivals

From a standing start in 2006, Jamie then developed a successful career in property sales in Salisbury, working for some of the city's leading estate agents.

Faye began her career in the same year but focused on property lettings. She spent time in London and Salisbury, rising to be area manager with one estate agent and lettings director of another. During this time Faye became Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) qualified.

In fact, for many years Faye and Jamie worked directly opposite each other, for competing Salisbury estate agents. But, having often talked about joining forces and starting their own agency, and with their 40th birthdays looming, they finally took the plunge. In January 2018 they launched Oliver Chandler to specialise in property for sale and property for rent in Salisbury and the surrounding area.

Integrity and innovation

In a competitive market it's difficult to differentiate between estate agents. However, what sets Oliver Chandler apart is their belief in combining old-fashioned quality, service and value with new technologies to rapidly match the right property for sale or rent with the right people, for the right price.

Their reputation is such that most of their early growth has come almost exclusively through recommendation and referral.
