Country house for sale in Saxonhurst, Downton, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP5

An immaculate 4-bedroom family house featuring a superb kitchen/dining room peacefully located in a sought after cul-de-sac on the edge of the village with a landscaped garden.

An immaculately presented family home well located in the desirable Saxonhurst cul-de-sac. The accommodation has been improved and modernised in recent years, notably the impressive kitchen/dining room featuring a Vauth-Sagel kitchen superbly equipped with a range of quality fitted appliances, which is very much the heart of the home. A welcoming, light entrance hall and well-proportioned sitting room complete the ground floor accommodation, with the first floor home to four bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a dressing room and one as an office). Supplementing the accommodation is a full width loft room that could offer further work-from-home/studio/hobby room options. The exacting standard of finish and presentation extends to the outside space, with a recently landscaped rear garden, a double garage, a further single garage and adjoining car port/store.

Saxonhurst is located towards the upper reaches of the village, within walking distance of the village High Street and, below that, the historic village centre of The Borough. Downton is a thriving Avonside community with a number of shops and other amenities, including popular public houses and a bustling cafe, The Borough Cafe. The village has a doctors' surgery on nearby Moot Lane and reputable primary and secondary schools, as well as a library, churches, and a leisure centre with tennis club.

For those seeking a balance between a 'work-from-home' and office-based environment, communications in the area are excellent.

There are mainline rail services from Salisbury and Southampton Parkway (90 minutes and 71 minutes respectively) to London Waterloo and international airports at Southampton and Bournemouth.

Buyers with an interest in outdoor pursuits will undoubtedly be satisfied by the wonderful surrounding countryside and the New Forest National Park lies approximately 3 miles to the East. There is a choice of local golf and angling clubs in the vicinity and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and at Spinnaker Sailing Club at Blashford Lakes, near Ringwood.

Alongside the patio is a small lawn with well stocked borders and planters and a spacious cabin/summerhouse with power and light connected, which again could be ideal for outdoor entertaining or those seeking work-from-home office or gym space.
