5 bed detached house for sale
Panters, Sutton Mandeville, Salisbury (ref: RS131)

Panters is truly a very special family home. The welcoming entrance hall has plenty of space for kicking off muddy boots and storing coats, and double doors lead into the main reception room,a great place especially when all the family comes together. At Christmas there is room for the biggest Christmas tree and with a roaring log fire in the beautiful stone fireplace, it is just perfect.

In summer, when the French doors are open, it's cool and calm and the adjacent Garden Room is a wonderful space from which to admire the garden in every season. One of the most striking features of the house is the amazing wooden staircase, a grand and unexpected flourish in an otherwise simple house.
The second reception room is cosy and snug; with floor to ceiling bookshelves and its newly fitted woodburner, it is the perfect place for watching television on winter nights.

The rustic country style kitchen is a lovely place to cook. There is plenty of room for everyone to be together and the Aga creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere making it the real heart of the home. With a stone flagged floor, a pantry, plenty of storage, and the large dining area off to one side, this is a fabulous family space. Best of all, from the kitchen window, you can enjoy the most stunning views of the river as it turns pink at sunset.

On the first floor, the house has 3 very large bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. Each of the bedrooms has its own unique character; a stone mullion window or a window seat. The master bedroom has glorious views across the fields and river and you can hear the river when you open the windows and watch swans, coots, moorhens, pheasants, and woodpeckers.

On the top floor are 2 'cosy' bedrooms with sloping ceilings and fabulous far-reaching views. Large storage cupboards and shelving have cleverly utilised the space and there is also a third bathroom with a unique stone mullion window.

The house has undergone a significant refurbishment over the past 3 years including full re-decoration and re-carpeting, upgrading the electrics and work on the roof and chimneys. There are 3 large family bathrooms, all fully serviceable, and one has a newly fitted shower cubicle. However, all of the bathrooms would probably require updating in time.

The garden is now undoubtedly one of Panters' greatest achievements and is full of different moods and areas. In total the grounds cover 3.7 acres which include water meadows, lawns, a walled garden, ornamental garden, vegetable garden, orchard and ponds. You can enjoy a picnic under the apple trees, relax and read a book on the steps by the river, enjoy the sunshine on the patio, explore the meadow area around the pond or hide in the secret garden framed by wisteria!

There is a variety of outbuildings, including a tool shed, woodshed and potting shed. The tool shed is ripe for development, subject to the necessary planning consents. The garden also has the most beautiful and high-spec greenhouse, with power and ventilation.
