For sale through Savills in Salisbury at a guide price of £3m, Redlynch House, set in just over 19½ acres of private parkland on the edge of the village, has been in the hands of its present owners since 1968.
The 12,000sq ft house, which is unlisted, boasts a series of well proportioned reception rooms, including a 48ft-long drawing room with two large Regency-style bow windows, an elegant dining room overlooking the rose garden, a sitting room, seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, all of which retain an air of faded grandeur although in need of refurbishment and restoration.
In addition, there are seven attic rooms and extensive cellars. A large study, the present kitchen and various utility rooms are located in a 1960s extension, which could be adapted to create a large family kitchen/breakfast room, subject to planning, suggests selling agent James McKillop.
The sale includes a pair of semi-detached three-bedroom cottages, a Grade II-listed two-bedroom lodge cottage and a number of dilapidated outbuildings and stores, including a former cottage, stables and garaging.
Redlynch House is currently on the market via Savills at a guide price of £3 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
