Stony Batter Lane, West Tytherley, Salisbury, Hampshire, Sp5

A unique modern residence with open-plan living, an additional barn, stables and free draining paddocks and grounds extending to about 4.5 acres, with no near neighbours, immediate access to excellent outriding, and beautiful views over surrounding farmland and countryside in a quiet rural setting between West Tytherley and Broughton

It is rare to find such a beautiful setting. The property is surrounded by attractive open countryside and lies close to the Clarendon Way. A gated driveway leads to a large storage barn on the northern side of the property, from where the home is accessed via a short track, with stables and a tack room extending to the side of the barn. The access track reduces to a bridleway just past the property, providing immediate and safe access to outriding, an extensive network of paths, and easy access into Bentley Woods. The bulk of the land and gardens lie to the south, centred around a garden meadow with large enclosed paddocks on either side, one with a field shelter, and from this area there are long, uninterrupted views across adjoining farmland. A log-fired hot tub has been positioned to enjoy this aspect. There is also a raised kitchen garden area and lapsed planning permission was granted for an additional barn if required subject to a new application. This property offers true off-grid living, with a private water supply, private drainage, and no connection to mains electricity, uniquely powered by a renewable energy system comprising two solar arrays (~6.25 kWp total) with 13 roof and 12 ground-mounted Panasonic HIT 250W panels, two SMA Sunny Boy inverters connected to an SMA Sunny Island (6kW), a ~500W wind turbine, 48 × 2V battery cells (~560Ah), and backup generators including a Kubota Welfare Generator (diesel) – Model MGMK 10,000-80, 10kVA and a Hyundai diesel generator.

The property is situated rurally on the outskirts of the picturesque village of West Tytherley, a thriving village community, which offers a post office/shop, public house, primary school and two nurseries on the outskirts of the village, church, village hall, recreation ground and play area. Stockbridge High Street is within a 10 minute drive as well as Salisbury, Romsey and Winchester which are all within a close driving distance and provide a comprehensive range of leisure and shopping facilities. There is an excellent choice of state, grammar and private schools within easy reach. Grateley (9 miles) has fast services to London Waterloo in 75 minutes with a mainline railway between Southampton and Bristol in the neighbouring village of West Dean (2 miles).
