4 bed detached house for sale

Bouverie Close, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP2

Dating back to 1927, Whitecroft is an impressive detached period house with elegrant living accommodation and a solidity of construction, rarely found in more modern properties.

Enjoying a plethora of period features, the house is situated just off Bouverie Avenue, Harnham, one of Salisbury's most popular residential locations, handy for Salisbury District Hospital and access to open countryside, and yet less than a mile south of Salisbury’s historic city centre.

The spacious living accommodation predominantly overlooks the beautiful south-facing garden, making for a light and airy living space. The house has been in the same ownership for many years which is testament to its welcoming atmosphere and location, and offers scope for incoming purchasers to add their own stamp on the property's history.

The house is entered via an imposing, original wooden door which opens into a spacious inner hall. On the ground floor there are three comfortable reception rooms including the dual aspect drawing room with its two bay windows and handsome fireplace (which has been fitted with a woodburning stove). There is also a formal dining room, again with a fireplace and a tall four-pane leaded window looking out across the garden. Additionally, the study provides peaceful, private home working space with built-in storage.

The rear porch provides useful additional space for storage and home appliances, as does the cellar. The well-proportioned kitchen is located at the front of the house and features fitted units and space for all the necessary appliances. There is also a walk-in larder and space for a breakfast table for informal, everyday dining.

Upstairs, the four bedrooms are all doubles, with three benefitting from south-facing aspects. The principal bedroom has its own dressing room and an en suite bathroom with a separate shower unit, while three additional, bedrooms have their own washbasins. There is also a family bathroom and a separate WC.

To the front and sides of the property, there is off street parking and also access to the single garage,

The main garden lies to the rear and features a sunny patio area immediately behind the house, along with a garden room —an ideal spot to sit, relax, and enjoy views across the garden.

Well-planted border beds provide additional colour and seasonal interest, while high timber fencing and mature trees enclose the garden, offering a sense of privacy and tranquillity from neighbouring properties.
