Property description
Re-developed circa 2003 the property, formerly a 1950s bungalow, has been transformed into a substantial, detached, family home. The feeling of space is immediate upon entry into the spacious reception hall with its full first floor galleried landing above. Each of the ground floor rooms is accessible from the reception hall; in addition there are two sets of connecting double doors (refer to plan) which opens the living room through the dining room into the kitchen/breakfast room to allow space for a large gathering. The first floor benefits from a large master bedroom with ensuite and excellent views across adjoining countryside and farmland - stretching as far as Pitton. There is a sizeable guest bedroom with its own ensuite facility, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is offered for sale in good order, is fully double glazed and centrally heated via an oil fired boiler to radiators.
The plot is an excellent size, the house is set to the front with a large sweeping drive offering extensive off road parking and access to an integral double garage which may lend itself for conversion into a further reception room. The front garden is mainly lawned with shrubs. Access is gained on both sides through to a generous, mature rear garden which is fully enclosed and laid predominantly to lawn with a number of specimen shrubs. There is a large expanse of patio/terrace extending across the rear with access from both the living room and the kitchen/breakfast room. Beyond the rear boundary is uninterrupted countryside and farmland and the "Old Roman Road" which offers access to a number of attractive country walks, paths and bridle ways.
LOCATION
The semi-rural settlement of Firsdown is located some four miles to the north east of Salisbury. The neighbouring villages of Pitton and Winterslow offer village stores/post office facilities, village schools and country pubs. The cathedral city of Salisbury offers a more comprehensive range of recreational amenities, shopping facilities including a market each Tuesday and Saturday 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.
