Milton Lilbourne, Pewsey, Wiltshire, SN9

Sherbourne House occupies an attractive edge of village position on a no-through road in the sought-after village of Milton Lilbourne, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the Pewsey Vale. Built in the 1990's, this handsome house provides wonderful accommodation over three floors with south-facing views over its garden and grounds against a backdrop of Giant's Grave at Milton Hill.

The property is well-appointed with meticulous attention to detail. The large entrance hall leads to a fantastic kitchen and dining room with French doors opening onto the terrace. The handmade kitchen, together with the dining room and the study, was commissioned by the owners to be designed and fitted by McCarron. The kitchen has a stunning single-piece granite top to the island with quality appliances from Miele and Fisher Paykel. There is an elegant drawing room with impressive marble fire surround as well as a spacious study and a further sitting room off the kitchen.

Leading off a galleried landing, the bedrooms are all generously sized with the principal bedroom having views over the gardens. The bathrooms are finished to a 'wet room' standard with the stone floors having underfloor heating. The second floor provides extensive further accommodation with plentiful eaves storage.

The property has been in the same ownership since new, who have made a significant investment. Hardwood sash windows and doors have been installed by Input Joinery of Andover throughout the property and the roof has been well-maintained and improved.

The garden and grounds surround the house to all sides and have undergone extensive landscaping over a period of several years to create three ponds and are planted with many specimen trees, such as maple, beech, oak and willow, forming a wildlife haven. In spring, the drifts of thousands of snow drops, daffodils, tulips and crocii create a stunning backdrop to the house.
An attractive feature of the property are the two lily ponds, stocked with many species of fish such as perch, tench, roach, carp and gudgeon, which are serviced by a borehole with electric pump (recently replaced).

The formal gardens to the front and rear of the house are edged with clipped box hedging. Leading off the terrace is a wisteria-clad stone columned pergola and a beech hedge-lined walkway to an octagonal timber gazebo. A wooden bridge with an arch of laurel over a stream leads to the two larger lily ponds.

There is garaging for up to five cars, a workshop and garden store. The property is approached over a private, shared drive with a five-bar wooden gate leading to a gravel drive with good parking.
