About this property

This substantial family home occupies an enviable, elevated position near the end of a quiet lane, within the much sought after Bourne Valley village of Idmiston. The setting is truly special; peaceful, rural and with a wonderful sense of seclusion, yet just minutes from Salisbury and the A303, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a home that combines true countryside tranquility with superb everyday convenience.

The entrance porch opens into the vast central hallway, from which all principal rooms are accessed. The sitting room is an impressive space, extending to twenty‑five feet and designed around its double aspect. A feature chimney breast with fireplace and log burner forms a cosy focal point, while the rear window and sliding doors to the conservatory frame views across the garden. Adjoining this is a dedicated dining area, perfectly positioned for both everyday living and entertaining. The conservatory itself provides a wonderful additional sitting area, offering an uninterrupted outlook across the garden and valley beyond and opening directly to the terrace. The kitchen is generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged in an L‑shaped layout, appointed with a range of wall and base units, some integrated appliances and a door out to the rear garden. The sleeping accommodation is superbly balanced. The principal bedroom enjoys a side aspect and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms sit to the front of the property and take full advantage of the elevated position, offering delightful open views across the surrounding countryside. A fourth bedroom also acts as study if needed. A modern family bathroom services the remaining bedrooms.

Outside
The gardens are an impressive feature of this home. To the front, wide lawns gently fall away from the property, creating a sense of openness and capturing the full panorama of the landscape beyond. To the rear, a level terrace sits immediately outside the conservatory and kitchen, a perfect outdoor entertaining and dining space. From here, steps rise to a tiered lawn framed by mature planting, a greenhouse and a bank of natural, wild garden that blends seamlessly into the rural surroundings. From the upper levels, the views stretch across fields, woodland and gently rolling countryside — a beautiful and ever‑changing backdrop.

The property is approached via an extensive block‑paved driveway that provides excellent parking and leads to a substantial double garage equipped with power, light and an electric up‑and‑over door. This generous frontage enhances both practicality and privacy, creating a strong sense of arrival as you approach the house.

Situation
The property is pleasantly situated close to the heart of the popular Bourne Valley village of Idmiston, which is surrounded by attractive countryside and caters for all manner of country pursuits. The nearby village of Porton has everyday facilities which include a convenience store and well-regarded primary school, doctor's surgery and public house. The cathedral city of Salisbury is approximately 9 miles away where there is an excellent range of educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market in addition to a mainline railway station (Waterloo). There is also a mainline railway station at Grateley. The A303 is a short distance away which provides easy access to the West Country and the M3 and London to the east.
