A fantastic four/five bedroom, two bathroom family house spanning over 3,250 sq ft set in the desirable Wylye Valley.<br/><br/>Upon entering the property, you are immediately struck by the size and impressive proportions throughout.

The drawing room is triple aspect, has an open fireplace with a bespoke light oak surround, and french doors lead into the side garden.<br/><br/>To the right of the dining hall is the open plan kitchen/breakfast/sitting area which is a wonderful modern space for family life.

Facing the back garden is the breakfast area, with french doors leading to the garden. A seating/TV area is at the far end of the room. The utility room, of the kitchen, has its own back door, enabling it to operate as a boot room. <br/><br/>Upstairs, the principal bedroom is approached via a dressing room with two double wardrobes, is triple aspect and has an ensuite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and one single bedroom, plus a large family bathroom. Bedroom 4 leads to a large, separate store room which has Velux windows.
