Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Newly built house in the centre of a beautiful unspoilt village. Think stone built thatched cottages, chalk stream and 14th century church. The house itself, approximately 3000 square feet, was built to our design and completed in May 2019. There are three double bedrooms in the main house. Master bedroom has a dressing room and bathroom ensuite. Second bedroom has en suite shower-room. third bedroom with four poster bed. Central, large shower-room with a shower toilet. Large entrance hall with feature gallery to first floor, sitting room, kitchen diner, utility room, snug, office, cloakroom. Double garage is separate with a large studio/bedroom over with small kitchen, dining area and ensuite shower-room.
There are stone floors to most of the ground floor, carpet just in the office and sitting room. Fully carpeted upstairs except for bathrooms. The heating is underfloor by an air source heat pump.
The master bedroom is air conditioned.
We have spent a lot of time and effort on the garden and it is surprisingly well developed for a new house. The rear garden rises steeply from the house and is a wild flower meadow which (we hope) will be a riot of colour in the Spring, Summer and Autumn. There are two terraces to the rear of the house including a barbecue terrace.
An important feature is that, despite our rural location, we get good broadband speeds here.We have wi-fi signal boosters in every room including the studio so wi-fi available everywhere in the house.
We have two electric cars a Tesla Model Y and a BMWi3 which we are willing to exchange.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

The house is in the centre of a small, friendly village. The house and gardens are private but we have neighbours either side and we are part of a community. The village is charming with many thatched cottages alongside a chalk stream. The stream runs on the other side of the road to the house and can be heard gently gurgling as a backdrop to a walk around the garden.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

The village is about 11 miles from the City of Salisbury which has a magnificent Cathedral built in the 13th century. Stonehenge is 12 miles away. The main attraction of the area is its peacefulness. There are plenty of good walks and many good local pubs.Salisbury has interesting museums as well as the historic Cathedral. The Cathedral displays one of the original Magna Carta documents. The Cathedral sits inside a walled Close which is fascinating to visit. Stonehenge is a pre-historic monument built about 3000 years ago and has to be seen to be believed. There are also many National Trust houses and gardens within easy reach.
Surprisingly, the immediate area is very well served for art with two International Art Galleries within easy reach - Messums in Tisbury and Hauser and Wirth in Bruton.
The Roman City of Bath is about 30 miles away.
London is 90 minutes by car or by train from the local station.
This is a link to the website for the village which will fill in any further information needed and help to show the character of the area.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We make an effort to keep our house particularly clean and tidy, will do the same with any exchange and would very much like to return to a clean and tidy house. Our preference is for a retired couple with similar interests to ours. The studio (which has a convertible settee) would be particularly suitable for an older child as it has a separate entrance to the house; there is a small kitchen, ensuite shower-room, TV and good wi-fi. We have a cat although it is our intention to put him in a Cattery for the duration of our exchange (unless specific request is made). We have two cars - a Tesla model Y and a BMW i3 - both electric. There is a charging point in the garage. A car is needed here.
