About
Description A distinctive and characterful former village police house, this attractive three-bedroom detached home occupies a prominent position in the heart of Cherhill, enjoying far-reaching views towards the rolling Wiltshire countryside and iconic landscape beyond.
Believed to have served as the original police house for the village, the property offers an appealing blend of heritage and well-balanced accommodation, extending to just under 1,700 sq ft including the generous garage.
Internally, the layout is both practical and versatile, with a welcoming entrance leading through to a well-proportioned sitting room featuring an exposed brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point.
A separate dining room provides a more formal entertaining space, whilst the kitchen enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and is complemented by a useful utility room and adjoining boiler room.
Upstairs, the property offers three comfortable bedrooms, all well-presented and filled with natural light, served by a modern downstairs family shower room.
The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, with attractive proportions and a feature fireplace, adding to the home’s intrinsic charm.
Externally, the property benefits from a private, enclosed rear garden, thoughtfully arranged with a combination of lawn, patio and seating areas, ideal for both relaxation and outdoor entertaining.
A useful garden store/shed provides additional practicality. The property also boasts a substantial garage and driveway parking.
