6 bed country house for sale

East Grimstead, Salisbury SP5

Set behind electric gates on a private sweeping poplar lined drive in the picturesque village of East Grimstead, Manor Farm House is a distinguished family home dating back to the mid-1800s. Bright and full of character it is set on 6.85 acres of lush Wilshire countryside and far reaching Southerly views. This house would be perfect for anyone wanting privacy and acreage for a small holding or space to roam.

The entire home has been totally refurbished and stylishly designed within the last 5 years by the current owners. The hub of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room, an impressive space perfectly suited to both everyday family life and larger-scale entertaining, filled with natural light and with views across the surrounding grounds. The elegant drawing room with log burner and French doors to the garden has a warm and welcoming environment throughout the seasons. Additional space on the ground floor includes a generous playroom and a dedicated home office, ideal for those seeking flexible working arrangements. The spacious boot room doubles up as a tack room reflecting the property's equestrian credentials and gives access to the utility room as well as an additional downstairs WC to the one in the entrance hall.

Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms are arranged along a hallway characteristic of the property's period heritage, with each room enjoying far-reaching southerly views across the grounds and surrounding countryside. Serving the bedrooms are two generously proportioned bathrooms, each thoughtfully designed with both a separate bath and shower.

Additionally to the accommodation of the main house is a self contained annexe currently used as 1 bedroom home with an open plan kitchen, living area and bathroom. This could easily be converted if needed to a 2 bedroom to make the property 6 bedrooms in total.

The newly installed pool is one of the highlights of the magnificent grounds. Economically powered by air source heat pump, with a practical safety cover the area is surrounded by mature planting, a pool house and the Victorian style greenhouse.

A collection of well-fenced paddocks offers excellent grazing and versatility for a variety of animals. Several field shelters are positioned throughout the grounds and are currently utilised for alpacas and ponies, making the property ideally suited to those seeking an equestrian or lifestyle-led country home.

Situated approximately six miles east of Salisbury, the village offers a peaceful rural setting with an abundance of walking, riding and cycling routes directly from the doorstep through Bentley Wood and beyond. The house is well located for some excellent schools, such as Farleigh, Chafyn Grove and Salisbury Cathedral school as well as the local Pitton Primary school and Grammar school options in Salisbury.

Planning permissions are in place for anyone wanting to add to the property to include a single and double storey extension to the main house, an American style barn in the grounds to enhance the current stables area and a double garage or cartshed to replace the current wooden garage area.
