5 bed house for sale Whiteshoot, Redlynch, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP5 2PR

Arguably one of the most striking houses in the locality, Firdene presents a wonderful face to the world. Built in the late Victorian period and exhibiting a blend of classical and Baroque Revivial influences, a traditional red brick facade with contrasting stone quoins and decorative trim including a pillastered balcony lends the house a stately appearance, a symmetrical front elevation centred on an impressive entrance featuring a porticoed projecting porch. Tall sash windows with elegant arched surrounds allow for plenty of natual light into the front-facing reception rooms and first floor bedrooms, which are notable for their gracious ceiling heights. To the rear of the house is a series of adaptable rooms that could ultimately serve a range of purposes, including a ground floor bathroom, breakfast room and kitchen, whilst a secondary staircase leads to what could be used as either a fifth bedroom or study for those seeking work-from-home space. The principal staircase leads up to a generous sized landing and four double bedrooms, including two that mirror the ground floor reception rooms below and are notable for their proportion. Attached to the rear of the main house is an L-shaped complex of two-storey outbuildings and stores, reputedly the site of the original cottage. Overall, the accommodation requires refurbishment and presents an extremely rare opportunity for a purchaser to lovingly recreate a quite magnificent home.
