Property description
Constructed in 2004, Downs View is a truly exceptional, detached family home offering excellent accommodation, garaging, parking and gardens.
The property is offered for sale in superb condition, has recently been triple glazed, there are new composite front and rear doors and the whole property has been completely re-decorated. Recent improvements include a re-designed and re-modelled kitchen which has been fitted with a range of bespoke, hand painted, country style cabinets with solid oak worktops and upstands, a free standing Stoves five ring induction range cooker and Karndean flooring. The study has also had Karndean flooring laid and the remainder of the property has been refitted with excellent quality carpets. Central heating is provided via an oil fired boiler to water filled radiator system - the oil storage tank has recently been replaced with a new double bunded 2,500 litre tank.
The feeling of space within Downs View is noticeable upon entry into the large welcoming hallway, off which each room is separately accessed, excluding the conservatory which is approached through the dining room. The family sitting room is both bright and spacious with a Charnwood multi fuel burner set on a raised hearth as the focal point and French doors opening onto a south and east facing patio. Both the dining room and the study are of a good size; the conservatory has two sets of French doors, vaulted glazed roof and heating. Off the first floor galleried landing is an impressive master bedroom with
Ensuite bathroom, a generous guest bedroom with ensuite shower room and two further double bedrooms. The family bathroom has also been re-designed and re-fitted with a full contemporary suite.
Downs View is positioned within a generous plot. To the front is a huge gated drive with an abundance of parking, turning area and a substantial double garage with floored attic room. The plot is bordered on the south by the A30 from which the main drive is approached. The northern boundary is bordered by the A343, however the gardens, which extend to three sides, enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and, as shown in the photographs, are well planned with seating areas, lawns, shrubs and flower beds.
It is worth noting that the property is located within the Salisbury grammar school catchment area.
