4 bed detached house for sale

Hindon Road, Dinton, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP3

A beautiful Grade II listed cottage, offering excellent reception spaces and stunning views.

Description
Penruddocke Cottage is a charming, Grade II listed property, currently undergoing rethatching, with sections of the house dating back to the late 14th century. The current owners commissioned renowned architect Gerald Steer to design a stunning two-storey extension, which includes a beautiful bay window in the kitchen. Over the years, additional refurbishments have transformed the cottage into a spacious 3,000 sq. Ft. Family home that blends modern comfort with its rich historic character.

The main entrance is through a porch that opens into an entrance hallway, which also functions as a study, with stairs leading to the first floor and a door to the garden. The sitting room is part of the modern two-storey extension, offering outstanding views of the garden and surrounding countryside. The original section of the room features an attractive stone fireplace with a gas-burning stove and mullion windows. The spacious dining room can comfortably accommodate eight or more guests and boasts an inglenook fireplace with a bread oven. The beautifully designed kitchen, with a separate pantry, has a limestone-tiled floor and a large bay window that provides lovely views of the garden and the countryside beyond. There is ample space for a large kitchen table, with plenty of floor and wall-mounted cupboards, topped with a granite work surface and two dual inset sinks. A large Fisher & Paykel gas range serves as the primary cooking appliance. A guest WC is located off the utility room, which also offers a sink and space for additional white goods. The workshop is accessed from outside and includes an internal door leading to the garage, which features excellent storage and double doors at both ends.

Upstairs, the spacious principal bedroom offers dual-aspect views of the garden and includes an en suite bathroom. The equally large second bedroom also has an en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, a corridor with twin beds and a well-appointed family bathroom.
