the heart of the popular village of Wilton. The property has been extended by
the current owners, and offers the perfect blend between period charm and

with exposed beams and central Inglenook fireplace. The spacious
Sitting/Dining room which is also triple aspect, with another stunning
Inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove.
Accessed via a glass and timber walkway with large storage cupboard is the
fantastic Kitchen/Breakfast room, which enjoys bi - fold glass doors opening to
the south facing garden. This room is the real heart of the home and is the
ideal space for family time or informal entertaining. There is also a large
pantry cupboard.
Adjoining this room is the well - fitted Utility Room and above is a generously
portioned Ensuite Double Bedroom with built - in storage. This would make a
lovely principal bedroom but could also be utilised for older
children/relatives or guests as it is accessed via a different staircase and
distinct from the remaining bedrooms.
Completing the downstairs accommodation is the Family Bathroom.
Upstairs, in the older part of the property, is another Double Bedroom with a
raised roll - top bath and wash hand basin. On this floor is also another Double
Bedroom with hand wash basin. There is also a separate toilet. The landing is
of a good size and has space for desk to create a home office.
To the top floor is the fourth Double Bedroom.
Within the grounds of the property is a delightful Shepherds Hut which has
been fitted with cat 5 cabling, a heater which could be replaced with a wood
burning stove and electrical sockets, making it a flexible and handy
additional space. It is currently utilised as a home office but would also
make a wonderful studio space or extra accommodation for guests. The Hut is
movable and therefore can be located to wherever suits.

The beautiful south - facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature
shrub, flower and hedge borders, and offers a private and secluded feel. It is
the ideal family garden being both child and pet safe. There is a south - facing
patio area adjacent to the Sitting Room that makes for an ideal space for
outdoor entertaining, in addition to the wrap around patio area accessed from
the Kitchen/Breakfast room. There are two useful garden sheds providing
storage. A gravel driveway and space next to the two outbuildings provides
parking for up to five vehicles. The driveway, originally part of the garden,
also provides access to the two outbuildings, one of which currently houses a
(removable) car ramp and offers a useful loft storage area. The other
outbuilding is currently used as a home gym but could be used as garage. Both
outbuildings have been built to a residential standard and could easily be
converted into guest/rental accommodation or used as home offices.
