A COUNTRY home with spacious living accommodation and a large rear garden, Pear Tree House is believed to date back to the 18th century and has several period features.

The grade II listed house offers well-proportioned, versatile living accommodation, says agent Myddelton & Major.

The sitting room is spacious and welcoming with a woodburner on a stone hearth in an inglenook fireplace under a large beam.

The dining room/playroom, which also has an original chimney breast housing a wood burning stove, and the sitting room have sash windows which look on to the front garden. The sitting room also has exposed wooden floorboards.

The kitchen/breakfast room is very much the hub of the house. The kitchen end is fitted with a range of Shaker-style wall and floor units and a built-in four-ring Hotpoint gas hob with electric double oven beneath.

There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and for a tall fridge-freeze and quarry-tiled flooring.

The breakfast area has space for a large table and additional furniture, half-height panelling and a door to the rear garden.

The study is fitted with a range of built-in shelving and storage, incorporating a desk unit. The cloakroom is fitted with a low level WC and wash-hand basin.

The utility room has a Belfast sink and slate worktop with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a stable door which opens out to the garden.

From the sitting room a staircase leads to the first-floor landing which has a hatch to the loft space and a sash window overlooking the front garden.

Bedroom one looks towards the village cricket green. It also has a chimney breast with a cast iron fireplace.

Bedroom two is also at the front of the house. This too has a period fireplace with a shelf above and two built-in wardrobes.

Bedroom three has a sash window overlooking the rear garden.

Bedroom four is the main bedroom with a fitted, built-in double wardrobe and views across the garden and an en suite bathroom.

The family bathroom also has a shower cubicle.

The front garden is laid predominantly to lawn with some edging beds with spring flowering bulbs and mature shrubs.

The gravel drive lies to one side of the house and leads to a large parking area and an outbuilding/garage (41’8” x 15’ overall exterior measurement).

This space is currently divided into three areas, forming two storage areas with power and light, a double garage and a doorway leading to a small workshop space.

Immediately behind the kitchen door is a sheltered courtyard area with a well (covered over) and period water pump.

The majority of the garden lies to the rear of the house and is laid mainly to lawn with many apple and plum trees and shrubs and a further small brick building.

The property sits in the centre of the village of Chitterne, opposite the cricket pitch and park.

Chitterne has a very active local community, and lies about 17 miles north-west of Salisbury. It is in a good position for access to Warminster, Bath, Andover and Salisbury via the A303 and A360, with both Salisbury and Warminster having mainline stations.

Within the village itself there is a public house, a church, village hall and the nearby villages of Shrewton and Codford, support many facilities including schools, shops, doctors’ surgeries and a vet.
