3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Alderbury, Salisbury SP5

Nestled in a plot that extends to circa half an acre and boasting elevated panoramic views across the Avon Valley, the home exudes an elegance based on the lines of its 1950’s architecture, and its unique position.

Internally, the home has well proportioned rooms with much of the accommodation enjoying the very special views over the grounds and the river. There are a number of desirable features such as a stone fireplace and exposed brick work. Currently, the layout extends to almost 1600 sq. Ft., with the well-planned accommodation having high ceilings. The entrance hall leads from the front door into all of the principal reception rooms. There is a useful storage area for coats and boots and a cloakroom with a w.c. There are three sizeable bedrooms, as well as a family bathroom. The kitchen, is a good size with steps down into the sitting room with its magical views across the river and valley below. The room then opens into a fabulous conservatory with doors opening to the garden. There is further scope and the property is prime for extension or conversion (subject to usual permissions).

Properties in this location are rarely available, and a viewing would afford those wishing to combine the benefits of rural living with sumptuous views whilst being able to access all the amenities of a thriving village.

Outside

Situated in an elevated riverside position, the home sits to the front of its half an acre plot.

There is a parking area to the front that in turn leads to the double garage with a useful attached workshop. The gardens wrap around the home with the majority laying to the rear. On the upper levels is a wonderful terrace which enjoys the panoramic views over the lower grounds down to the river and the water meadows beyond, and one can only imagine the enjoyment you would have enjoying evening drinks watching the sunset across the river and valley. The lower grounds, which are considerably lower than the house, are laid as a meadow, with direct frontage to the River Avon, and at certain times of year, this area can be affected by flooding. The grounds overall offer a wonderful degree of privacy. The gardens are a blank canvas, ready for the next owner to create their dream home in their dream garden.
