Property description
Lovelocks is an architect designed individual home that combines a contemporary focus and is sensitively in keeping amidst its private sylvan gardens which border open fields leading to Marleycombe Hill.
The original house was designed by the architect Anthony Stocken for renowned inventor and scientist James Lovelock from which it takes its name. Having been cleverly extended this stunning property offers generous living accommodation of living room, sitting room with log burner, dining room, kitchen and study. These spacious, light rooms at first floor level benefit from access to the terrace balcony and glazing reaching from wall to wall and floor to ceiling giving views across the valley. Majority of the bedrooms are found on the ground floor having direct access or views onto the private gardens.
SituationBowerchalke is a hugely popular picturesque village in the Chalke Valley approximately nine miles away from the Cathedral City of Salisbury. The village itself is located within an area of outstanding natural beauty. The church of the Holy Trinity dates back to the thirteenth century and William Golding, the renowned author of Lord of the Flies is buried within the grounds. Within the neighbouring village of Broad Chalke there is a general store, a public house and a doctors surgery. Train services are provided from Salisbury main line station to London Waterloo, alternatively Tisbury train station is 6.7 miles from the property.
OutsideThe house is surrounded by mature gardens which are a particular feature having been thoughtfully landscaped by the current vendors into series of accessible 'garden rooms'. Paved paths and steps lead between areas banked with established shrubs, bulbs, ponds and lawn.
The gravelled driveway provides ample off road parking for several vehicles. There is also a green wood garage / workshop fitted with telecoms and heating which is currently used as a studio, and would serve as an ideal home office.
