Full Details for 4 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Salisbury, SP5 :
Downs House is situated in a elevated position in the heart of the much sought after Chalke Valley village of Broad Chalke. The home is a superb example of an imposing Victorian residence. It has benefited from some sympathetic additions in the past to become the substantial home you find today. The original house was once part of the Vicarage, believed to date back to 1850 with many hallmarks of the original vicarage still evident.
The property offers charm and elegance in abundance. The flow and functionality of the home are a particular feature that can be adapted to families or couples alike. Set over three floors, and amounting to 2580 sq.ft. the accommodation offers a seamless mix of genuine character and modern design. On the ground floor, the welcoming entrance way leads to a sizeable utility/ boot room, that in turns takes you through to the truly stunning glass roofed kitchen/ dining room with French doors leading to the rear garden. The height and aspect of this room make it a real feature of the house, perfectly suited to busy family life or entertaining. In addition to this contemporary, sociable space there is a formal sitting room with an open fire and a sizeable drawing room that is currently used as a childrens play room. There is also a cloakroom. On the first floor the spacious landing provides access to the study and two sizeable double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a well appointed en-suite shower room and wonderful views over the village and countryside beyond. There is also a recently updated family bathroom complete with a double shower and roll top bath. The two further bedrooms are on the second floor, and of an excellent size, both boasting exceptional views. There is ample space available to create a bathroom on this floor.
This substantial home is deceptively spacious, and whilst in excellent order throughout there is ample scope for the next owners.
Situation
The much sought after village of Broad Chalke is well-served by a community store, coffee shop and post office, which recently won the Countryside Alliance award for the best village shop in the UK. It also has an excellent primary school (rated \‘Outstanding\‘ by Ofsted) and The Queen\‘s Head public house. The Cathedral city of Salisbury is approximately 9 miles away and offers a good range of facilities including a mainline railway station (London Waterloo 86 minutes), shops and supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities including a cinema and Playhouse.
Outside
The home enjoys an elevated position with a driveway offering off road parking for several vehicles and providing access to the double garage. The garage has a roller door and is fitted with power, light and a work bench. The roof has been recently refelted and has a personal door to the rear garden.
The gardens are to the rear of the home with a paved terrace abutting the kitchen/ dining room and providing a perfect dining space with pretty established rose borders and colourful herbaceous beds. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn and gradually slope away with the far boundary meeting open grazing land. There is a further paved sitting area half way down the garden under a glorious Oak tree and enjoys a wealth of privacy and afternoon sunshine. Whilst in good order the gardens offer scope for further landscaping.
