Immaculate Family House with stunning views located in one of the preeminent residential locations in Salisbury.
With origins believed to date from the 1930s, this handsome and substantial family house has recently undergone a full scale ground-up renovation and considerable extension, including the addition of a third storey.
It sits in the highly desirable Bouverie Avenue South, with stunning far-reaching views across the rooftops of the city and the countryside beyond.
The entrance hall has a ceramic tiled floor and access to a study to one side and a generous sitting room with a bay window, to the other. Double doors open through to an expansive open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, with bifold doors spanning one entire wall, overlooking the terrace and garden beyond. This room has an attractive porcelain tiled floor and a central island, with quartz work-surfaces. Integrated appliances include two ovens, a microwave, dishwasher, induction hob, fridge and coffee machine. In one corner is a wood-burning stove. Two roof lanterns in the ceiling flood the room with light. There is access, via a hidden casement door, to a panic room. Adjacent to the kitchen is a playroom, with wooden flooring and French doors onto the terrace. The laundry room, with a range of fitted cupboards, has a Belfast sink, integrated freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. It opens through to a boot room, with a door to a gravel path at the side of the house. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
On the half-landing is a further cloakroom. The stairs continue up to the first level landing, with a built-in linen cupboard. The principal bedroom has a large bay window and opens through to a dressing room and shower room. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, one with an en suite bathroom and one with an en suite shower room. Both rooms have far reaching views. The second floor landing has a built-in linen cupboard and access to two dual-aspect bedrooms, both with striking views, and a family bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower.
OUTSIDE
The house is approached via a gravel drive with a timber-framed double car port to one side, constructed of brick and douglas fir, with a clay tiled roof. A terrace runs the width of the property at the rear, with steps down onto a spacious lawn, with a spectacular mature cedar tree at its centre. A path leads down to a contemporary studio, currently used as a bar/party room. Of timber construction with cedar cladding and zinc fascias and soffits, it has 2-pane aluminium sliding doors along the garden elevation, opening onto decking. It also has a useful integral storage room for bikes/garden equipment.
There is planning permission for a swimming pool alongside the terrace.
