Laundry House is a characterful period property with splendid original features including exposed timber beams, alongside elegant modern décor and fittings.

The main reception room is the well proportioned drawing room, which has a dual aspect and adjoins a bright and spacious formal dining room, which features extensively fitted book shelving. There is a comfortable family room, which boasts a vaulted ceiling and French doors that open out to the garden. The current home office provides further reception space and features a modern wood burning stove, although this was once the main reception hall with the door and porch to the front. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-proportioned and features farmhouse-style units, integrated appliances and an oil fired Aga. There is also ample space for a good sized breakfast table. Upstairs, there are five well-presented double bedrooms including the generous principal bedroom, which has a wonderful vaulted ceiling with painted timber beams, built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a separate shower unit.

Outside

Laundry House is approached over a gravel driveway, which provides parking for at least 3 cars. A hand gate leads to the delightful front gardens, which incorporate a gravel sun terrace for al fresco dining, a level lawn flanked by well stocked flower borders and established shrubs.

The garden then rises to a further level lawned area, passing a meadow area flanked by mature hedgerows and trees, and it is from here that one can enjoy some of the finest far reaching views across the countryside. There is a lovely heated swimming pool, a timber framed summer house and garden store, which houses the pump and filtration system for the pool.

The towns of Shaftesbury and Warminster are six and nine miles away respectively, with both towns offering a good choice of shopping, supermarkets and leisure facilities, while the historic city of Salisbury is also within easy reach.

State secondary schooling is available at Gillingham, while you can find independent schooling in both Shaftesbury and Warminster. The closest railway station is at Tisbury, six miles away, which offers a direct service to London Waterloo in less than two hours.
