DESCRIPTION
• Knighton Hill House, which was originally three farm workers cottages, has been
completely transformed and extended by the current owners to create an impressive
family home. The house has been thoughtfully designed and is beautifully presented
throughout.
• Approached via a long drive, the property is situated at the top of Knighton Hill close
to the popular village of Broad Chalke. The elevated position results in there being
stunning views over the downs including across to the Isle of Wight in the south and
the Purbecks in the South West.
• The front door leads to a generous dining hall with open fireplace and limestone floor.
The triple aspect drawing room is accessed from the hall and has doors out to the
terrace as well as an open fire.
• The impressive 34 foot kitchen/breakfast room has a good range of bespoke units as
well as a four oven electric Aga, all arranged around a central island. An engineered
oak floor runs the length of the kitchen into the breakfast area where there is a further
open fireplace.
• In addition, there is a family room with doors out to a terrace on the ground floor as
well as a basement room.
• At the rear of the house is a utility room as well as a cloakroom, larder and boot room
with door out to a covered porch area.
• Stairs up from the hall lead to an impressive galleried landing with vaulted ceiling.
The master bedroom is triple aspect, with built in cupboards and en-suite bathroom.
• There are a further three double bedrooms on the first floor, two with en-suite’s as
well as a family bathroom and laundry room.
• There is a storage room on the second floor which is currently laid out as a bedroom.
OUTSIDE
• The house sits centrally in its grounds and is approached over a gravel drive which
leads to a parking area to the side of the house. Adjoining this parking area is an oak
framed double garage and workshop with store to the rear.
• Above the garage and accessed by an external staircase is an annexe comprising a bed/
sitting room, bathroom and separate wc.
• In addition to the oak framed building is a tree house which is used as an office by
the current owners.
• To the back of the house is a walled garden with an outdoor swimming pool and
timber framed pool house.
• The gardens to the front of the house are mainly laid to lawn with some mature trees
and shrubs, to the rear of the house is a productive kitchen garden with raised beds.
SITUATIONKnighton Hill House is situated in a rural location without neighbours and is accessed
over a private road which leads up from the hamlet of Knighton to the property and also
links down to the A354 Salisbury to Blandford Road.
The network of footpaths and bridleways provide excellent walking and riding
opportunities. In the village of Broad Chalke there is an award winning village
shop, primary school, Church and village pub. The Cathedral City of Salisbury
lies approximately 9 miles to north east and offers a variety of sporting and
recreational amenities including theatre, cinema, golf and racing at Salisbury
Race Course. Salisbury Station offers a direct train service to London Waterloo.
The area is particularly sought after because of its excellent range of schools
including Sandroyd, Chafyn Grove, Salisbury Cathedral, Leaden Hall and Port
Regis prep schools, Bryanston and Godolphin School plus the South Wilts and
Bishop’s Wordsworth Grammar Schools.
ACCOMMODATIONThe tenure of the property is freehold.
