A spacious, south-facing, family home, in a peaceful and private position set back from the road in the heart of this pretty Wylye valley village.
Location
Sutton Veny is a popular village in the Wylye valley. 'Sutton' means 'south farmstead' in relation to nearby Norton Bavant, which lies one mile to the north. The village has a friendly and active community and enjoys the benefits of a thriving pub, a primary school, church, village hall, playing field and cricket pitch. There are wonderful walks straight from the village into the extensive surrounding countryside and chalk downland.
Warminster is the nearest town, being approximately two miles from the village. It has supermarkets, such as Waitrose and Morrisons, a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, a museum and a train station. Trains to London Waterloo have a journey time of approximately two hours. Trains from Westbury (approximately 6 miles from the property) travel into London Paddington and take in the region of 80 minutes.
The village lies half-way between the beautiful Cathedral city of Salisbury and the historic city of Bath, both offering a wide selection of shops, restaurants, arts and recreational facilities.
Racing is available at Salisbury Racecourse and Wincanton and golf at Warminster, Erlestoke and Westbury. This area is renowned for its fishing on the River Avon, Test and outlying chalk streams.
The A303 provides access to the south west and London, via the M3.
There is a wide selection of both state and private schools in the area, including Warminster School, Marlborough, Dauntseys, Salisbury Cathedral School, Chafyn Grove and Godolphin, as well as Bishop Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar Schools.
Description
A substantial 1960's house, with later additions, offering spacious and light accommodation over three floors. A large, glass-fronted entrance portico leads into the entrance hall, with slate tiled floor. The adjacent sitting room/study has deep storage cupboards and a door to the front garden. A light-filled dining hall, with French doors onto the terrace, leads into an elegant, dual-aspect drawing room, with a carved wood fire-surround, fitted woodburner and an unusual curved bay window, with a window-seat overlooking the garden. Handmade wooden floor and wall units in the kitchen/breakfast room have beech work-tops, full-height larder cupboards, an electric aga and integrated appliances. At the far end of the kitchen is a comfortable sitting area, with a window-seat and French doors onto the terrace and garden beyond. A utility room with a Belfast sink, a drying room and a cloakroom/lavatory complete the ground floor.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom with an adjacent shower room. This south-facing bedroom is dual-aspect and has French doors onto a pretty wrought-iron balcony, overlooking the garden. There are two further south-facing double bedrooms on this floor and a family bathroom.
The top floor, a loft conversion completed in 2016, offers two spacious dual-aspect double bedrooms, both with far-reaching southerly views over the surrounding rooftops and church tower, to the countryside beyond. A further family bathroom completes this floor.
The house is positioned with the gable-end facing, and set back from, the village road. This affords a great deal of privacy and seclusion. The property is approached via a tarmac driveway, through double wrought-iron gates, to a parking area for several cars in front of a single garage. To one side is a gravel area, leading to a timber-framed double car port. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered with beech hedging, a bay tree, an acer and an impressive magnolia. The rear garden wraps around two sides of the house and is completely enclosed. Laid mainly to lawn, with deep herbaceous borders, mature trees, including a majestic copper beech, and box topiary, the garden is south-facing and sheltered. A terrace runs along the southern elevation. The vegetable garden, bordered with low box hedging, lies to one side of the kitchen.
Square Footage: 3401 sq ft
