Property description
Built in 1966 and occupied by the present owners since 1968, Ithilien is a three bedroom detached bungalow of good proportion forming part of a hugely popular village. The property occupies a sizeable corner plot off the entrance to Beeches Close with The Clarendon Way adjacent to the western boundary. There is no dispute that the property offers huge potential for updating or extension although it should be noted that, during the 1970s, a study was added off the sitting room and utility room off the kitchen. Central heating is provided via an oil fired boiler to a water filled radiator system and there a mixture of double glazed, singled glazed and Critall windows. There is parquet flooring laid throughout the reception hall and the living room/dining room which also has an open fire place. To the front of the property is an expanse of private drive with ample parking and access to a detached single garage. In conclusion, Ithilien is a good sized detached bungalow enjoying an excellent location within a hugely desirable village which is known for its thriving community and excellent facilities.
LOCATION
The village of Pitton forms part of the Pitton and Farley Parish which lies some five miles to the east of the cathedral city of Salisbury. Surrounded by rolling countryside the village itself offers a range of facilities including a general store and Post Office, thriving village hall, sports fields and tennis courts and a well regarded local Inn, The Silver Plough. The village church, St Peter, in its original form predates Salisbury Cathedral although most of the current structure dates from around 1860. The award winning Pitton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is just off the village centre, is hugely popular and extremely well regarded. Neighbouring communities include the villages of Farley, The Winterslows, Tytherley and Firsdown. Salisbury offers a more comprehensive range of recreational amenities, shopping facilities, market on Tuesdays and Saturdays and a wide range of schooling, both state and private, including two grammar schools and a college of further education. Salisbury has a mainline railway station, also stopping at Grateley, serving London, Waterloo and the West Country. Although a rural environment, access to the M3 and M25 is easily obtained via the A303 to the north east and to Southampton via the A36/M27 to the south.
