Landford Wood, Salisbury, Wiltshire

Landford Wood House is a charming period house with a thatched roof to much of the house, coupled with attractive timber-frame and red brick elevations, set in a small hamlet between Salisbury and Southampton. There are three ground floor reception rooms, including the generous drawing room with its two south-facing windows welcoming plenty of natural light, as well as timber beams overhead and an impressive brick-built fireplace. There is also a formal dining room with a dual aspect and a brick-built fireplace, while at the rear, the more modern conservatory provides further space in which to relax, with its panoramic windows and views across the beautiful gardens. Also at the rear, the kitchen and breakfast area is equipped with wooden storage units and has space for all the necessary appliances, as well as space for a breakfast table. At the rear of the kitchen, the utility room and walk-in larder provide further useful storage.

On the first floor there are five well-presented bedrooms, four of which benefit from built-in storage. The smaller fifth bedroom is a walk-through, and could be used as a study, a dressing room or a nursery. The other four bedrooms are all doubles including the generous principal bedroom. The first floor also has a family bathroom and an additional shower room.

The house is set within stunning gardens and far-reaching grounds, including well-maintained formal gardens and paddocks beyond. The walled front garden has an area of lawn, border beds with various shrubs and a paved pathway leading to the entrance, while access for vehicles is at the side. The gravel driveway leads to the rear of the property, where there is plenty of parking space and access to the detached, brick-built double garage. The garaging block has useful workshop space to its rear, while further garden storage is available in the wood shed and the two greenhouses. The splendid garden at the rear features rolling lawns, dotted with mature trees, hedgerows and well-stocked beds with colourful flowering perennials, plus a pond providing a haven for wildlife. The grounds also include a hard tennis court, enclosed by chain link fencing, and all bordered by peaceful woodland.

The property occupies a rural yet convenient location, surrounded by rolling countryside on the edge of the New Forest National Park, between Salisbury and Southampton. There are local amenities nearby in the villages of Landford and Wellow, including village stores, a farm shop, and local pubs.
