Underwood House is a substantial detached family house, which offers over 3,750 sq. ft of flexible light and airy living space over two floors.

All the living rooms are of excellent proportion and the extensive kitchen/breakfast and family room represents the hub of the house. With its bespoke oak kitchen, large central island, black granite work surfaces and oak floors. The dining room has an antiqued natural limestone floor, beams and a working slate fireplace. The kitchen, dining room and drawing room all have double patio doors that open onto the south facing patio, whilst an additional spiral staircase leads from the rear hall to the main bedroom. Also located on the ground floor is a large bedroom with its own luxury wet room, which with the utility room, could potentially be used as an annexe, if required. Four of the five first floor bedrooms boast a sunny southerly aspect and three of the bedrooms feature en suites, which are fitted to a high standard.

Underwood House is situated on the edge of the sought after village of East Knoyle, which lies on the borders of south west Wiltshire and north Dorset. The small village of East Knoyle is located 17.5 miles west of Salisbury, in the heart of the stunning Cranbourne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This pretty little village has several local amenities, including a village hall and a local shop/post office. Nearby Hindon also offers a store, two pubs, a doctor's surgery and a primary school.

The towns of Shaftesbury, Westbury and Warminster are within easy reach and offer an excellent choice of shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities. State secondary schooling is available at Gillingham, while you can find independent schooling in both Shaftesbury and Warminster. The closest railway station is at Tisbury, which offers a direct service to London Waterloo in less than two hours.

The property is approached off a quiet country lane via five bar gates and over a gravel driveway, providing parking for numerous cars. Paved steps lead up to a paved sun terrace, which extends the full width of the property and around one side, providing the perfect position to fully enjoy the far reaching countryside views. From the driveway, access to the paddock can be found. The paddock is partly enclosed by post and rail fencing and extends to approximately 4.75 acres, and has its own lane acess. There is the option to purchase the house and garden with 1 acre of paddock adjoining to the east of the house with excellent views for those not wanting all of the land.

Planning permission has been granted for the erection of a stable block, which will comprise three loose boxes and a tack/feed room, and double garage.
