Ansty, Salisbury, SP3

A handsome Grade II listed detached stone house, set within beautifully maintained gardens and enjoying attractive views across unspoilt countryside.

New Barn House dates from the mid-19th century and was originally constructed as two farm cottages for the Wardour Estate, later combined to create a substantial and characterful family home. Built from locally sourced limestone beneath a clay tile roof, the property retains a wealth of period charm while benefiting from thoughtful modern updates, including a recently installed boiler and double glazing. The house is presented in good decorative order throughout.

The accommodation extends to approximately 2,000 sq ft and is both spacious and well-balanced. A welcoming entrance hall leads to the principal reception rooms, including a large dual-aspect sitting room with an open stone fireplace and stylish shelving. The dining room features an attractive bay window and fireplace, while the kitchen is well equipped with a range of fitted units, an oil-fired Aga and tiled flooring. A bright sun room, positioned on the southern side of the house, enjoys delightful views across the gardens and surrounding downland. The ground floor is further complemented by a utility room, pantry and a cloakroom with shower. Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefitting from built-in storage, alongside a family bathroom fitted with a classic white suite. Further benefits including Nest smart heating and fibre/ethernet broadband direct to the property. 

Externally, the property is approached via twin wrought iron gates leading to a generous driveway with parking for several vehicles. A double garage with adjoining workshop and a separate office with power and lighting provide excellent ancillary space, ideal for home working or hobbies.

The gardens are a particular feature, extending to approximately 0.25 acres and offering a superb variety of mature planting, including established shrubs, lawned areas and a charming courtyard terrace, ideal for outdoor dining. There is also a productive vegetable garden with fruit cage, polytunnel and a garden pond, creating a truly engaging and versatile outdoor environment.

Situated within the highly regarded Nadder Valley and the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting surrounded by rolling countryside, with views towards Prescombe Down National Nature Reserve.
