Broad Chalke, Salisbury, SP5

Butlers Farm House is a truly glorious, Grade II listed period village home that has been subject to a sympathetic, yet comprehensive, schedule of renovation and refurbishment, internally and externally, including re-thatching, a new water treatment plant as well as upgraded electrics and plumbing.

The beautifully appointed accommodation includes a ‘heart of the home’ kitchen/dining room with an array of solid wood wall and base units, a central island unit and quality integrated appliances. French doors open out to the rear terrace and triple aspect windows flood the room with natural light. Beyond the kitchen is the generous utility/boot room, with a cloakroom, and an excellent study. To the front of the cottage is the charming sitting room that has a focal point feature fireplace with a wood burning stove and a gorgeous 27ft drawing room with an Inglenook fireplace. Two stairwells give access to the first-floor accommodation. To the front there are two characterful double bedrooms, serviced by a family bathroom. To the rear is the principal bedroom suite that has ample built-in wardrobes and boasts views across the garden and grounds. There is a well-appointed family bathroom and a spacious single bedroom that could be a superb study, dressing room or single bedroom.

Outside

The gardens are a particular feature of this wonderful village home, extending to circa 0.65 of an acre. The property sits back from the village lane with a decorative garden to the front and driveway parking to the side for several cars.

The rear garden has been overhauled and reimagined by the sellers. The formal garden is mainly laid to mature lawn, interspersed with contoured floral, herbaceous borders and specimen trees and offers a wonderful degree of privacy. A paved terrace adjoins the rear of the home, perfect for outdoor dining.

Beyond, the wild garden has sweeping pathways that meander through the wild grasses and mature trees. This area has been kept with nature in mind so it is a haven for bees and butterflies. The boundary meets the River Ebble at the foot of the plot where there is a perfectly positioned seating spot in which to enjoy the river views.
