Summary
A beautifully preserved and thoughtfully modernised home, rich in warmth, character and possibility - opportunities like this truly seldom come to market.

Description
Nestled in the heart of Downton, this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully modernised home blends centuries old character with contemporary comfort. Originally built in the 1600s and sympathetically extended in the 1980s, the property showcases its heritage throughout, with original exposed beams and timeless architectural features.

The welcoming living room sets the tone, centred around a magnificent original open fireplace with a log burner - a cosy, light filled space that instantly feels like home. The kitchen/diner is equally impressive, offering generous worktops, excellent storage, a breakfast bar, room for a large dining table and a beautiful oiled aga framed by a brick chimney breast. A convenient downstairs WC and shower, plus a larder under the stairs, add thoughtful practicality.

A large, attached garage with electricity provides exceptional potential - perfect for conversion, an Airbnb venture, a workshop or simply superb storage. It also offers direct access to the expansive south facing garden.

Upstairs, natural light pours through the staircase windows, creating a bright and airy ascent. The refurbished and extended bathroom is modern and stylish, offering both a walk-in shower and bath. All three bedrooms are comfortable rooms with integrated storage, bedroom one benefits from loft access, with the loft already boarded and offering exciting potential to extend (STPP) & bedroom 2 showcases its original beams for added charm.

Description Continued
The garden is approx. 273ft, offering generous, private and beautifully mature spaces, with an apple tree, bay tree, established shrubs and multiple seating areas to enjoy the sunshine or shade. At the far end there is a well-kept two-bedroom lodge - ideal for guests, multi-generational living or subletting - with the garden extending even further beyond. The property includes parking to the front, with plenty of additional parking along the borough. Local amenities and schools are close at hand, with easy access to Salisbury.
