4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Shooting Box was originally built as the shooting lodges for the Roche Court Estate in the 1890s. In recent years it has undergone extensive renovations to create this magnificent family home while retaining period features such as Art Nouveau fireplaces, a clay tiled roof and new lime render to create this beautifully presented property. Flexible accommodation includes five reception rooms and four bedrooms, all with elegant contemporary styling and high-quality fittings.

The main ground floor reception room is the 29ft dual aspect sitting room, with oak flooring and a brick-built fireplace, which leads to a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room with a log burner. South-facing French doors open onto a patio for alfresco dining with views across the garden and countryside beyond. The kitchen itself has British-crafted shaker-style Mackintosh units, a central island with John Lewis of Hungerford ceramic worktop and a Bertazzoni range and hood. The ground floor also has a comfortable snug, music room, boot room, utility room and dual
studies.

A spacious landing upstairs leads to four double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom which benefits from south facing views across the garden and fields beyond, in-built wardrobes and an en suite bathroom featuring a bath, sink and toilet. One further bedroom has an en-suite bathroom while the first floor also has a large family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower unit.

The house is set in a picturesque position surrounded by rolling fields and features far-reaching gardens and grounds which extend to the south. The driveway provides parking spaces for several vehicles, as well as access to an ultra-wide bay handcrafted double oak garage with mezzanine for storage. There is a separate timber framed stable with two stalls.

The gardens surrounding the house have beautiful
lawns, shrubs, colourful flowerbeds and a patio area. Many of the mature trees across the grounds have been grown from specimens provided by Kew Gardens, giving a parkland feel. From the property, there is direct access to Bentley Wood. Set in almost 2000 acres, it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a haven for wildlife as well as providing extensive riding, cycling and walking routes to enjoy.

The Shooting Box is set in a peaceful rural location, between the small villages of Winterslow and Farley. Winterslow has a pub, village store, post office, village hall, doctor’s surgery and a primary school, as well as many friendly clubs and societies.

Further facilities and amenities are found in Salisbury. With its historic centre and famous cathedral, Salisbury is a delightful city.
