Property description
Polden Road is conveniently placed approximately three quarters of a mile from Salisbury city centre and mainline railway station. Wiltshire College is also within a short (circa 2 minutes) walk and there is excellent access onto the A36 Southampton Road.
The property, a former railway manager‘s cottage, is a late Victorian dwelling dating from around 1890. During the 1990s the original house was extended with single and double storey addition and now offers 4/5 bedroom accommodation. Heating is provided by a mains gas fired boiler to radiators and all doors and windows are double glazed.
The attraction of 1 Polden Road is the versatility of accommodation which has, for some years, provided additional income in the form of a house of multiple occupancy (HOM).
For a family, the accommodation is excellent, with four bedrooms, a bathroom and a potential second bathroom/ensuite (currently a kitchen), spread over the first and second floor. The ground floor, which is currently self-contained, offers three reception rooms, kitchen, conservatory and shower room all off a good sized hallway - the whole property would adapt very easily for single family occupation. There is no private parking although permit parking for residents and visitors is in abundance. The rear garden is particularly attractive having been professionally landscaped; it is south facing and offers a high degree of privacy.
