Old Walls, Laverstock Park, Salisbury

Tucked away behind 17th-century walls in what was once the kitchen garden of Laverstock House, Old Walls is a beautifully extended and much-loved family home that blends history with modern comfort. A private drive leads to a thoughtfully remodelled and impeccably maintained house that balances privacy with convenience. Surrounded by mature, south-west facing gardens, it's a beautifully positioned home that has quietly gathered the stories and memories of four generations.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where double gazed doors open to both the living room and dining room. When open, they create a wonderful flow for entertaining. When closed, the living room becomes a cosy snug with the woodburner lit, ideal for relaxed evenings and family gatherings.

The dining room is generous and full of light, with patio doors opening directly onto the garden - a lovely setting for summer suppers and celebrations. It also opens into the kitchen, creating an easy flow between the main living spaces.

The heart of the home is the Orangery kitchen - a spectacular, light-filled space that blends modern design with warmth and character. With its vaulted roof, bi-fold doors and underfloor heating, it's a room for all seasons: open the doors in summer and the garden becomes an extension of the living space; in winter, it's the perfect place to unwind with the warmth beneath your feet and a roast in the oven. A large central island creates a natural gathering spot, and there's plenty of room for cooking, dining, and relaxing. The adjoining utility room keeps everything practical, with its own Belfast sink, stable door to the garden, and space for laundry and appliances.

A third reception room sits just off the kitchen - currently used as a home office, but equally suited as a snug, playroom or family room. The layout is flexible, making it easy to adapt as family life evolves. A downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is peaceful and pretty, with oak flooring and a well-appointed en suite bathroom featuring both a bath and overhead shower. Three further bedrooms include a good-sized double and two generous singles, each overlooking the garden. The rooms are calm, comfortable, and versatile - ideal as bedrooms, home offices, or hobby spaces and are served by a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, the wraparound garden feels private and established, with mature trees, flowering borders and a blend of lawn, gravel, and patio spaces that change character with the seasons. There's room for children to play, for a vegetable patch or greenhouse, and for garden lovers to create something special. The ivy-clad walls frame the space beautifully, while a south-west aspect ensures sunlight through most of the day. At night, the garden glows with soft lighting and feels magical for outdoor gatherings. A newly laid gravel driveway provides extensive parking for several cars, alongside a single garage currently used as a gym and storage space.

Old Walls is a home that perfectly balances seclusion with convenience. It's a place designed for easy, relaxed living and where every corner feels thoughtful and welcoming. Whether hosting friends in the Orangery, lighting the fire for film nights in the living room, or enjoying the peace of the garden, it's a home that adapts effortlessly to family life or entertaining.
