Description

Dating back to the early 1600s with elegant Edwardian additions, The Grange is a substantial period home of immense character and charm. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, offering generous and versatile living spaces, perfect for family life. This exceptional property enjoys outstanding south-facing views towards Salisbury Plain and benefits from a range of outbuildings, stabling, a tennis court, and a superb party barn.

At the heart of the home is a large kitchen/breakfast room with direct access to the garden – ideal for family living and entertaining. Three spacious principal reception rooms offer superb proportions, enhanced by views across the stunning grounds. Many of the living spaces are south-facing, drawing in natural light and showcasing the garden and surrounding countryside.

The first floor comprises a principal suite with en-suite bathroom, a second en-suite bedroom, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a store room. The top floor provides two additional bedrooms and another family bathroom, as well as access to a large attic space offering potential for further accommodation (subject to consent).

Gardens and Grounds

Approached via timber gates and a sweeping drive, the house sits privately within its plot, with ample parking to the front and a second driveway giving access to additional land. The grass tennis court lies to the front of the house.

To the east, a range of outbuildings includes garaging for several cars, a workshop, and a four-box stable yard with a tack room and garden store. These buildings can be approached via the garage drive from the house or alternatively via a separate access off Back Lane and offer potential for future conversion, subject to planning.

The formal gardens, designed by Michael Balston in the 1980s,feature mature planting, ornamental ponds, yew hedging, and a charming chequered cobbled pathway lined with weeping pear trees. A part-walled kitchen garden with gravel pathways lies to the side of the house, while French doors from the principal rooms lead out onto a brick terrace ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. A striking open-sided barn offers further entertaining space with exceptional views across the rural landscape.

The grounds extend into a paddock with stabling benefiting from separate vehicle access via a back lane. A further 2 paddocks of about 4 acres with an area of light woodland are found further down the lane also with vehicle access. The land is ideal for equestrian use, with fencing, hedging and a natural stream.
