Ideally located within easy walking distance of both the town centre and the leafy green expanse of Salisbury Fields, it offers the perfect balance of town and tranquillity.
A welcoming HALLWAY introduces the ground floor, where stairs rise and turn to both the first and lower ground floors. The SITTING ROOM exudes period charm, with polished timber flooring, a working open fireplace, original shutters, and a traditional casement window. Adjacent is the DINING ROOM, complete with its own original (currently unused) fireplace and fitted double cupboards flanking the chimney breast. A lovely view over the courtyard adds to the room's appeal.
On the FIRST FLOOR, the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM Is generously proportioned, with a handsome original fireplace and fitted double cupboard. BEDROOM TWO overlooks the rear courtyard and also retains its period fireplace. The BATHROOM is a standout feature, with a slipper bath formed from composite limestone, a separate double shower cubicle, cabinet with inset wash hand basin, and underfloor heating. On the half landing, BEDROOM THREE forms part of a later extension, providing excellent versatility.
The LOWER GROUND FLOOR has been thoughtfully configured for modern living. A CLOAKROOM features tiled flooring with underfloor heating, a cabinet with inset basin and W.C. The impressive KITCHEN/FAMILY ROOM is fitted with a range of stylish base and wall cabinets, a central quartz-topped island, integrated Bosch dishwasher, under-counter fridge and freezer, and a 1.5 bowl granite sink. French doors from the dining area lead directly out to the courtyard. The adjoining UTILITY ROOM, also part of the rear extension, includes further fitted cabinetry, granite work surface, sink, timber flooring, and plumbing for a washing machineplus a door to the courtyard for practical ease.
Beautifully combining historic character with contemporary refinement, this home offers timeless elegance and practical living in equal measure.
