Property description
A detached house situated in a tucked away setting with a lovely riverside garden & enjoying magnificent views across the famous Harnham Water Meadows towards Salisbury Cathedral.
Property
The Willows is a detached house thought to have been built in the late 1940s of mainly white rendered and brick external elevations under a tiled roof. The property has been well maintained and improved over the years however it now offers scope for further updating as well the potential, subject to the necessary consents, to be adapted and extended so as to create additional living space.
Arranged over two storeys, the accommodation can be utilised in various ways and presently consists on the ground floor of a good-sized sitting room overlooking the garden with lovely views of the river and meadows beyond, dining room, study and a kitchen with a larder cupboard. There is also an entrance hall, reception hall, cloakroom and utility room on this level. Upstairs are four bedrooms including a master bedroom with a fabulous outlook over the water meadows and a smartly appointed bathroom with a separate shower cubicle.
Outside
To the front is a graveled drive providing off street parking and a detached single garage. An undoubted feature is the beautifully landscaped and good-sized riverside garden with its unrivalled views. To the side is a large paved terrace with a wooden pergola and adjoining graveled area, steps lead down to the lawn and well established borders stocked with a variety of flowers and shrubs, hedging and fruit trees. A picket gate with a right of access (at a cost of around £5 per annum) leads into the adjoining park. There is also a small studio/outside room with power and light, a greenhouse and garden shed.
The river bank is a delightful spot from which to fish, watch the local wildlife or enjoy the marvelous views along the River Nadder and over the meadows whilst a small concrete landing stage is an ideal place to launch a canoe or rowing boat for exploring the local waterways.
Situation
The Willows is located in the most idyllic setting tucked away at the end of a small cul-de-sac in the prestigious Harnham residential area on the south side of the famous medieval cathedral city of Salisbury. Bordered on one side by the River Nadder and on another by Warre’s Park; a recreation ground, public garden and cricket pitch, the property enjoys an extraordinarily fine outlook across the Harnham Water Meadows towards Salisbury Cathedral. This view was immortilised by John Constable and indeed he is believed to have painted the scene from a spot just yards from what is now the end of The Willow’s garden. Harnham has a local shop/post office, primary school and a dining pub in an historic converted mill. A footpath across the meadows leads to the centre of Salisbury with its fine selection of shops, department stores, market, restaurants, theatre, cinema and museums.
Salisbury has a railway station with direct services to London (Waterloo) and the West Country. The local road network gives ready access to the other main towns in the region including Andover, Bath, Blandford, Southampton and Warminster as well as to the South Coast whilst the A303 trunk road is close by linking with the M3 making London accessible for the motorist. Salisbury is well known for having a number of highly regarded schools in both the state and private sectors including two grammar schools. The city is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside ideal for a variety of rural pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling and fishing. There are a number of golf clubs in and around Salisbury which also has a race course and leisure centre.
