4 bed detached house for sale

Riverside Close, Laverstock, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP1

A superbly postioned 4 Bedroom detached family home on a 0.5 acre plot offering the potential to extend and improve (subject to consent) with river frontage of the River Bourne. No Chain!

22 Riverside Close is a detached family home positioned on a generous plot of around half an acre offering huge potential. The property has been in the same family ownership since 1968 when it was purchased from new. Although well cared for it would now benefit from modernisation and improvement. The accommodation comprises an inner hall with stairs to the first floor with a storage cupboard below, a cloak/utility room with WC, wash hand basin, space and plumbing for a washing machine. The ‘L’ shaped sitting/dining room has generous proportions finished with a fireplace with stone surround and inset gas fireplace, it has a dual aspect with large front window, and leads through to the dining area with door to the kitchen. There are sliding doors on to a conservatory which has a wonderful view over the garden. The kitchen has a good selection of base and wall mounted storage units, a stainless steel sink and a door to lobby which leads either back to the entrance hall, or the garden. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms, three of them generous doubles and a good size single all with built in wardrobes. There is a family bathroom with bath, shower and wash hand basin, a separate WC. The property offers considerable potential for extension and improvement (subject to consent) due to the excellent size of the plot, but also due to the enviable location on Riverside Close which is one of the premium addresses in the Salisbury area. The property is well positioned on its plot with ample parking to the front with a single garage. The gardens have been beautifully cared for and lead down to the River Bourne creating an idyllic and picture perfect environment.

The property is situated in a quiet and exclusive cul-de-sac in the popular residential area of Laverstock where there are good local shops and amenities on the doorstep. The City centre can be reached on foot or by a regular bus service and the area is further enhanced by the fact that many of Salisbury’s top state and private schools are very close by which include boys and girls grammar schools, the Cathedral School, Godolphin and Chafyn Grove. The City also has extensive recreational, leisure and shopping facilities in addition to the Playhouse Theatre, a cinema and Arts Centre and the iconic Medieval Cathedral. Good communication links for those who commute or travel regularly with the mainline railway station having fast regular trains to London Waterloo at the west country and the major A36 and A30/A303 trunk roads are nearby.

The property has a tarmac drive with ample off-road parking in front of a single garage. There is a large lawn area to the right and ample space to the left to provide significant additional parking if required. A side gate leads to the wonderful rear garden which has been lovingly cared for and is stocked with a huge variety of specimen shrubs, trees and fruit trees. A large patio leads immediately from the conservatory and the rear lobby. There are mature hedge rows giving excellent privacy, as well as a green house and shed. The large flat lawn leads to the bottom of the garden which then adjoins the River Bourne and creates an idyllic and tranquil setting. The whole plot totals around 0.5 acres and is perfect for a growing family. Whilst the garden is currently low maintenance it has huge scope for gardening enthusiasts.
