Property description

A super country residence of character and space in a elevated position with grounds amounting to 0.678 of an acre in this highly sought after village. The original house was transformed by later additions yet retains the character and architectural style of the original parts. The arrangement and flow of the accommodation which is south facing thus attracting a lot of sun, is a feature of the rooms, with the majority of them overlooking the beautiful gardens and undulating countryside beyond. The house works particularly well for a family with a stunning versatile dual aspect drawing room that can open through to the large dining room/ breakfast room. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the study/snug, kitchen and utility room/ boot room, four bedrooms, two of which are en-suite with an additional family bathroom. The current vendors have meticulously enhanced the property, both in terms of extensions, remodelling and overall maintenance of the home.

The gardens are a particular feature of the home, the current vendors having purchased an additional piece of land to further enhance the gardens. The home is positioned to the rear of the plot and set back in a elevated position. The property is entered through secure electric gates from which the winding driveway meanders through the beautifully landscaped formal gardens with mature tiered lawns interspersed with established colourful floral borders and specimen trees. To the front of the home is a large parking area providing access to the double garage. To the side of the home is the fabulous swimming pool with a paved surrounding terrace, perfect for entertaining and alfresco dining. There is a stunning summer house that provides the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy and admire the gorgeous grounds and open aspect views beyond. To the side and rear of the home is a bountiful vegetable garden with a green house from where steps lead up to the top gardens that are predominantly laid to lawn with lush herbaceous borders and boasting awe inspiring views across sweeping farmland to Berwick St John.

We thoroughly recommend an internal inspection at your earliest opportunity.

Situation
Donhead St Andrew lies just north-east of Shaftesbury, a Saxon hilltop town with commanding views over three counties. This part of south-west Wiltshire has become increasingly popular, due in no small part to the attractiveness of the surrounding countryside. The Donheads (St Mary and St Andrew) are situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty and have a thriving community with many clubs and societies, two churches and an excellent pub, The Forester. Countryside Alliance award winning village shops and a Post Office are nearby in Ludwell, while more extensive facilities are available in Shaftesbury. It has a good range of shops, a delicatessen, supermarkets, together with a health centre, local hospital, library and arts centre. A more comprehensive range of facilities may be found in the Cathedral City of Salisbury to the east, while nearby Tisbury has a mainline railway station (London Waterloo). The A303, approximately 15 minutes to the north, gives access to the South West and London, via the M3.
