Semi-detached house for sale in Winterslow, Salisbury SP5

The Property:
This quintessential period cottage retains many of its original character features such as exposed wooden beams and Inglenook fireplace yet benefits from a light and modern design throughout. Upon entering the home you are greeted by a cosy snug with a striking Inglenook fireplace featuring exposed brickwork and useful built in cupboards on either side. Adjacent to the sitting room is the light and spacious kitchen with a range of wall and base level units, timber worktops, Belfast sink and plumbing for white goods. Open to the kitchen is a dining area with an exposed beam arch and a brick fireplace. Located off the sitting room is a welcoming hallway with direct access to the garden as well as a built-in laundry cupboard which leads through to the downstairs shower room. Tiled floors make it easy to whisk mucky pups into the downstairs shower for a quick rinse before settling down on the heated kitchen floor. The sitting room has two large bay windows affording natural light to flood the room, exposed wooden beams and stunning views across the garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful, double aspect home office with fitted shelving. Two generous double bedrooms and a further single bedroom can be found on the first floor, all with built-in storage and Inglenook fireplaces. A family bathroom services the bedrooms. The current owners have architect plans for a proposed 3 bay garage with office over that would link to the main house and a double, self-contained flat where the current office is and to put a master bedroom over the existing living room. Planning has not been granted yet.

Outside:
To the rear of the cottage is a parking area for multiple vehicles that leads on to the detached garage. The beautiful, mature gardens wrap around the home and are mainly laid to lawn with beautiful flora, mature fruit trees and shrubs. A paved area adjoins the rear of the home and provides the ideal setting for al-fresco dining and barbecues.
