On the lower ground floor there is a useful utility/ laundry room and a playroom/snug. The sleeping accommodation is found on the first floor and consists of 5 generous bedrooms, en-suite to master and a family bathroom.

SituationThe much sought after village of Broad Chalke is well-served by a community store, coffee shop and post office, which recently won the Countryside Alliance award for the best village shop in the UK. It also has an excellent primary school (rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted) and The Queen's Head public house. The Cathedral city of Salisbury is approximately 9 miles away and offers a good range of facilities including a mainline railway station, shops and supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities including a cinema and Playhouse.
OutsideThe home is discreetly positioned within its plot, set back from the road. There is parking to the front of the home with front gardens boasting a high degree of privacy having been laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and established hedged boundary. The gardens continue either side of the home and present an opportunity to further extend the living accommodation, subject to usual consents. The gardens and grounds to the rear of the home are a particular feature. Immediately to the rear of the home is a formal lawn with a hedged and walled boundary offering a great degree of privacy. The grounds then continue beyond the formal lawn and open out to another large level lawned area, perfect for tennis, croquet or even as a small paddock, that leads to the stream at the rear of the boundary.
In addition, there is a drive to the side of the house providing access to the rear lawns, where additional car parking and a double garage/workshop can be found.
