Shute EndAlderbury, Salisbury, SP5 3DJ

Avon Turn is a superb family home which has been extended and remodelled by the current owners and now provides over 5500 sq ft of accommodation over two floors with the addition of a self-contained annexe.

The principal reception rooms include a beautifully proportioned drawing room and an adjoining dining room both of which have French doors onto the terrace and enjoy south-westerly views towards the river. Beyond the dining room, the large kitchen/breakfast room also has south-westerly views and has an excellent range of cabinets with stone worktops, a range of appliances and a gas-fired Aga. French doors open to the terrace from the breakfast area.

The further reception rooms include a study, located just off the main reception hall and a sitting room. There is a large utility room and a boot room adjacent to the kitchen and back hall.

There are two staircases leading to the first floor, which could allow for the provision of an internal flat/annexe if required. The principal bedroom sits above the drawing room and has an adjoining dressing room and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. There are five further bedrooms, two with en suite bath/shower rooms, a substantial family bathroom and a family shower room. The accommodation is completed by a first floor family room which is a fantastic entertaining space, with a kitchenette and a balcony enjoying the best of the river views.

ANNEXE AND OUTBUILDINGS

The annexe is located to the north of the main house, within an attractive barn-style outbuilding. On the ground floor there is a double garage, workshop, gardener's WC and a boiler room. An external staircase leads to the first floor, which contains an extremely attractive oak-framed open-plan living space, with a kitchenette and a shower room.

A further triple garage adjoins the main house with a substantial room above, which could be ideal for a home office or games room.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

Avon Turn is approached from the lane via a tree-lined driveway, leading to a gravel parking and turning area to the east of the house. The gardens are predominantly found to the west with beautifully stocked borders and lawns leading down to the river. There is a charming decked platform at the water's edge, providing a peaceful seating area and a wide paved terrace runs the length of the house, with a covered veranda, dining area and curved steps leading down to the lawn. The gardens are planted with a number of mature specimen trees and there is a large, part walled kitchen garden to the north-east.

The balance of the land is found to the south and east and is laid to pasture, providing good grazing for horses, sheep or other livestock. Within the larger field is a small brick-built outbuilding which has been used as an animal shelter and for storage.
