Rectory Hill, West Dean, Salisbury, Hampshire, SP5

A very well located spacious 4 bedroom detached family house with scope to extend set in 0.79 acres in the heart of the village.




A wonderful opportunity to buy a most superb period property with the potential for further extensions, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. However, the house still offers a very flexible and homely 4 bedroom detached family house, but it is now in need of updating. The ground floor has 3 reception rooms, a kitchen and a separate utility room. There is also a ground floor cloakroom. Please note that the aga and oil fired boiler are not in use at present. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a dressing area. The property maintains a wealth of its original character with quarry tiled floors, parquet flooring and fireplaces in certain rooms. The first floor accommodation is particularly light and has a spacious feeling with many windows and pleasant outlooks over the garden and land beyond.

West Dean is a charming rural English Village in the heart of the countryside yet close to Salisbury and Romsey. The village enjoys socializing and the pop-up-pub on the third Saturday in the month is the envy of the area. The village hall hosts the pub along with a year long schedule of lively events, from regular afternoon family movies to dinner dances whilst the village is famous for the summer fete which takes over the entire village. There are village running and cycling groups, pilates classes, toddler and baby group, a weekly buggy-fit club, yoga, youth club, playgroup, quiz nights and a whole host of other village events and groups to keep everyone entertained. Schooling in the area is excellent with Chafyn Grove, Godolphin, The Cathedral School, Bishops Wordsworth and South Wilts in Salisbury and HCS towards Romsey.

West Dean is very fortunate to have an active church St Mary’s Church which has a small but dynamic congregation and is an important driving force behind West Deans’ many events. Also important is a train station in the village (Wessex Main Line, 88 miles 10 chains (141.8 km) from London Waterloo) and there is primary and junior schooling available in West Tytherley and Whiteparish.

Outside there is a range of outbuildings and an attached brick and tiled garage. The plot is a particular feature of this property being approximately 0.79 acres and there is further potential for garden buildings, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. The garden is very well stocked and has been well tended over the years and now has areas of lawn with an interspersion of mature flower borders and a superb pond.
