"Description

Having remained in the same ownership since new over 25 years , Sherborne House is a stunning family home offering over 5,000 square feet of versatile living and entertaining space, with effortless, contemporary styling throughout. Set on a fabulous plot on the edge of this popular Pewsey Vale village, the property has so much to offer and the owners have made significant investment over the years to improve and maintain this stunning home.

The front door opens to the spacious entrance hall, from where the staircase sweeps up to the first floor. All main receptions rooms can be accessed off the hall and the property has a lovely flow throughout with good ceiling height.

The focal point of the ground floor is the stunning kitchen dining room, which spans the full depth of the property and is the perfect space to entertain or for family meals. The bespoke, handmade kitchen was designed and fitted by McCarron featuring a large central island with granite top and a range of quality integrated appliances. This sizeable, open plan living space is very much the heart of the home and provides access to the rear terrace and garden beyond.

The large drawing room has hardwood flooring, a fireplace with marble surround and doors to the garden. Given its southerly and westerly aspects, the drawing room is a lovely, bright space, perfect for formal entertaining. This house is ideally set up for modern day family life with a further family room playroom adjoining the kitchen, again with doors leading to the garden. Additional ground floor rooms include a study, utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

As you reach the first floor, you are met with a large galleried landing off which all the rooms are accessed. The principal bedroom is of generous proportions and leads through to the walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom, with bath and separate shower. The two main guest bedrooms enjoy ensuite shower rooms, and the remaining two bedrooms one double, one single are served by the well appointed family bathroom. The owners have converted a further room on the first floor into a gym. The second floor provides extensive further accommodation, with two bedrooms, home office and bathroom. There is also very handy additional eaves storage.

Outside

The house is approached via a gated driveway to a gravelled parking area, offering good frontage and ample car parking. There is garaging for 5 cars, together with a workshop and garden store.

Nestled in a tranquil setting, this exceptional property is surrounded on all sides by meticulously landscaped gardens and grounds stretching to c2.44 acres, cultivated over several years to create a truly special setting through which you can enjoy lovely walks and take in this peaceful location. The grounds feature lily ponds stocked with a variety of species of fish. These are sustained by a dedicated borehole with a recently replaced electric pump.

The large south facing terrace is accessed off the principal reception rooms, from which you look out over the large lawn and delightful gardens. From the terrace, a wisteria draped stone pergola leads to a beech lined walkway culminating in an octagonal timber gazebo the perfect spot for entertaining guests.

A true highlight of the property is the sheer variety of plants, flowers, shrubs and a rich collection of specimen trees, including maple, beech, oak, and willow, forming a haven for local wildlife. This unique property offers a rare blend of refined landscaping, natural beauty, and peaceful seclusion ideal for garden enthusiasts, nature lovers, or those seeking a countryside escape.
