Property Details
DESCRIPTION
A detached period house, constructed of Flemish bond brick elevations beneath a pitched tiled roof, that was modernised and extended at one end and to the rear approximately eleven years ago. It is understood that parts of the property are considerably older and that at one time the building may have been thatched. It was overhauled during the very early 1900s, when it was bought by Washington Merritt Grant Singer (son of Isaac Singer who revolutionised the sewing machine in the mid 1800s) as part of the Norman Court Estate. The accommodation comprises a covered entrance porch and reception hall, three reception rooms, an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room/cloakroom. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate shower room.
The gardens and grounds amount to 0.22 acres. The house itself stands on a manageable plot with the attractive garden lying predominantly to the front of the house which is south facing and private and features a well. From the village road there is access to a gravelled parking area to the side of the property, behind which there is a further larger area of separate lawned garden, also enjoying a good degree of privacy.
LOCATION
The property is situated on the edge of the picturesque village of West Tytherley which offers a Post Office/store, public house, schools (including the village primary school and Norman Court Preparatory School), church, village hall, recreation ground and play area. The town of Stockbridge on the River Test and the abbey town of Romsey are both some ten miles distant, and the cathedral city of Salisbury is within approximately ten and a half miles.
