The principal bedroom suite is south facing with far-reaching views across the gardens, paddock and towards Longleat Forest. Full height sliding doors open to a Juliette balcony, making the most of the incredible outlook and filling the room with natural light. The suite includes a generous dressing room and a luxurious en suite with a monsoon rain shower and dual wall-mounted fittings - all finished to a sleek, contemporary standard that feels calm and refined.
There are three further double bedrooms in the main house, each light, private and beautifully presented, plus a modern family bathroom with both bath and separate shower.
The Annexe
Above the detached garage sits a separate, self-contained two-bedroom annexe with far-reaching views. Accessed by steps from the driveway, it offers complete independence from the main house and includes an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, two double bedrooms and a shower room. Perfect for guests, an au pair or carer, it's also an excellent option for anyone wishing to generate additional income through Airbnb.
Outside
The grounds are a true highlight - around two acres of beautifully landscaped gardens that feel wonderfully private. Sweeping lawns and terraces are framed by mature trees and shrubs, including a magnificent magnolia tree, towering pines and striking rhododendrons. The south-facing main terrace is sheltered and sun-drenched, providing an ideal spot for alfresco dining or simply relaxing outdoors. A gate from the garden leads into the paddock, where a small stream meanders through, and there's a separate access gate from the lane.
The property is approached along a sweeping 70 metre drive with electric gates. There is plenty of parking plus a garage fitted with electric doors. With its elevated position and peaceful outlook, the setting feels secure, private and perfectly in keeping with the house.

It has been fully rewired, replumbed and insulated, with an air source heat pump, solar panels, underfloor heating and a modern sewerage treatment system - delivering both sustainability and low running costs.
