A new home that combines the best of traditional building techniques with contemporary finishes is about to come on the market in Fovant, near Salisbury with agents Woolley & Wallis.

Downsway is one of two houses, the first of which has been sold, built by well respected Salisbury developers Templeton Walker and has many energy saving features such as a Daikin air-source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout, with individual room thermostats.

The four bedroom house has been designed with modern living in mind and has a spacious kitchen/dining room that is fitted with hand made Guild Anderson units, separate utility room and walk-in larder, large living room and a study. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms and there is also a family bathroom.

The attractive property is built from Chilmark natural stone and has hand made clay roof tiles. Inside there is natural oak flooring, a security alarm system and the double garage has an electric door.

Peter Walker, a director of Templeton Walker based in Bowerchalke, said: “We specialise in building village homes and do our very best to make sure our houses blend in with their surroundings. Our houses are built in a traditional way but we pride ourselves on our green credentials hence the details such as heat pumps.

“We have been building homes in this area for 28 years and operate in a radius of about 35 miles of our base in the Chalke Valley. We use a number of local architects and these two homes were designed by Michael Lyons. The first house received a lot of interest resulting in a quick sale and the new owners have just moved in.

Fovant is situated in the heart of the Nadder Valley and within the Cranborne Chase AONB. The village has its own Post Office with shop, doctor’s surgery, garage, church and pre school.

Downsway is for sale with Woolley & Wallis with a guide price of £665,000 . For more information ring 01722 424524.
