House For Sale £1,500,000
Rest Harrow is a substantial and handsome family home, comprising of almost 5,000 sqft of accommodation over three floors, with a wealth of character and an enviable elevated position within plentiful mature, established grounds. The charming, wisteria-clad glass-covered loggia flows up to the porch, which opens out onto a welcoming reception hall with double doors onto the grounds and grand family room, as well as through to the main reception hall, which is fitted with bespoke cupboards and stairs turning to the first-floor level. The spacious family room/library with its exposed stone walls and feature fireplace also benefits from a number of doors onto the front-facing terrace, as does the equally attractive drawing room adjacent, with its corresponding fireplace and striking decorative moulded ceiling. The playroom offers an additional reception room, alongside the well-appointed and traditional terracotta-tiled open plan kitchen. With in-keeping wooden cabinetry, worktops and a cream aga range, this room is flooded with natural light from the expansive conservatory opening to the beautiful garden beyond. A cool larder, utility room and store provide ample extra functional spaces, with a useful cloakroom completing the ground floor accommodation.
The spacious first floor houses six of the properties’ seven generous bedrooms. The large principal suite has double doors onto its en-suite bathroom, with access through to a stunning south-facing balcony. The five additional bedrooms all benefit from good proportions, tranquil aspects and original character charm, with an additional flexible room flowing through into the family bathroom. The property’s remaining bedroom is on the second floor and provides stunning views across the surrounding countryside landscape.
Annexe
A private walled and enclosed garden with a stone arched entranceway leads to the sympathetically restored and refurbished stable, with an entrance hall, a tall beamed and vaulted ceiling to the sitting room, three sets of double doors onto its own secluded garden with a beautiful feature pond and green house, a kitchen, bedroom and shower room.
Rest Harrow resides in the picturesque hamlet of Cann, just over a mile from the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury, which offers a comprehensive selection of amenities, including High Street and boutique shopping, a delicatessen, supermarkets, numerous restaurants and cafés, a health centre, hospital, library and arts centre. Nearby Gillingham also offers a wide range of shopping including a Waitrose, together with recreational and leisure facilities and a mainline station with regular services to London Waterloo. The Cathedral city of Salisbury is within easy reach, with the A303 providing excellent communication links to the national motorway network, London and the West Country. The area offers a wide range of notable independent schools, including Port Regis, Sandroyd, Hazelgrove, Handford, Clayesmore, Bryanston, Leweston, Godolphin, Kings Bruton, Sherborne, Marlborough and Downside.
The residence sits comfortably in its sizeable mature grounds, which are well-established offering an abundance of colour along with superb trees. The charming front-facing terrace with its colourful flora provides the ideal lookout point from which to enjoy the views to Melbury Beacon and surrounding countryside, with an expanse of manicured, formal lawns on five levels below. A sweeping gravelled driveway meanders up to the home, offering ample parking for a number of vehicles, flanked by a second section of level lawn and a variety of neatly trimmed topiary hedging. A wooded area can be found at the back of the garden along with a tennis court, which is now a wonderful range of established vegetable beds.
