Cholderton, Salisbury, Sp4

A substantial and unique five double bedroom family house in a rural setting with approaching 5.5 acres, including paddocks, meadow and a southerly facing formal garden area, together with a large block of stables.

Formerly part of the Cholderton Estate. A period flint and stone mullion window house that has been substantially extended over the years with impressive and versatile accommodation extending to just over 4,500 sq ft. The property enjoys a rural setting set well back from the road, with a long gravel driveway, extensive parking and a large double garage. There is also an interesting block of eight tall Victorian stables originally installed for breeding large Cleveland Shire horses. In total the property has grounds extending to approximately 5.4 acres. There is a well-stocked southerly facing formal garden area to the front of the house. The remaining land is a mixture of fenced paddocks, meadow and a band of woodland screening the road.

The property is situated on the outskirts of Cholderton, which has a public house, church and village hall. The neighbouring village of Grateley offers a Post Office/shop, primary school, public house, church and a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. Andover, about ten miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, and a further mainline railway station. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are within fifteen and twenty five minutes drive respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
