North Lane, West Tytherley, Salisbury, Hampshire, Sp5

A largely extended and completely remodelled semi-detached family house featuring a stunning open plan kitchen and five bedrooms all enjoying a good size edge of village plot with views over surrounding paddocks

A recently extended Victorian semi-detached family house forming part of a short parade of similar former estate workers’ cottages, situated on the northern edge of this beautiful, quiet Hampshire village. All of these properties were originally part of the Singer family estate (sewing machines) when the whole village and surrounding land was owned as a single estate before being auctioned off in the 1950s. This spacious and beautifully appointed home features a triple aspect open plan living area with bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, a high specification kitchen with granite island and Rangemaster cooker, a cosy sitting room with log burning stove. The five bedrooms include a principal suite with vaulted ceiling and garden views, complemented by a family bathroom and a sauna. Outside, the block paved driveway provides ample parking; the landscaped rear garden offers a split level terrace, lawn, pergola, and open views over paddocks which are often occupied by potential racehorses and foals.

The property is situated in the picturesque village of West Tytherley which offers a Post Office/store, public house, primary school, nursery, church, village hall, recreation ground and play area, all within walking distance. The nearby village of Lockerley also has a store. Stockbridge High Street is within a 10 minute drive as well as Salisbury, Romsey and Winchester which are all within a close driving distance providing a comprehensive range of leisure and shopping facilities. There is also an excellent choice of state, grammar and private schools within easy reach. A main line railway station at Grateley (about 9 miles) with fast services to London Waterloo in about 75 minutes.
