ELM HOUSE is a well appointed, six bedroomed, individual and handsome family home. It was built in 1987 by a respected local builder, of brick under a tiled roof. The current owners bought the property whilst in construction and have thoughtfully extended and updated it over the years to provide a comfortable light, bright, deceptively spacious and versatile home. The house is situated on the edge of the sought after village of East Knoyle and enjoys an idyllic and private semirural location, backing onto fields, with great far reaching views to the Fonthill estate and beyond. The village has the benefit of a local pub and award winning shop as well as easy access to the A303 and mainline railway station. In the catchment area for excellent schools in the Gillingham area. The property benefits from off road parking a bespoke double garage and the generous addition of a newly appointed kitchen dining room. The property has benefited from some overall updating yet still offers a scope for re modelling to provide an annexe if desired. There is the matching flush casement conservation approved double glazing throughout.
