Property description
A superbly refurbished and extended single storey residence situated in a sought after rural village with well-presented accommodation, a riverside garden and offering further potential.
Property A beautifully presented bungalow overlooking the River Nadder. Thought to have been built in the mid 1960’s with rendered external elevations under a tiled roof, in recent years it has undergone a comprehensive programme of improvement, redecoration and alteration. This included an extension to the rear creating a spacious light and airy open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room and the addition of a twin attached garage and office to the front. The comfortable and manageable accommodation offers versatility as to how it can be enjoyed and has the potential to be adapted further with the garage ‘wing’, together with the office and two store rooms, having the scope to be converted into extra living space or perhaps as an annexe.
The living accommodation comprises of a large reception hall with a ceramic tiled floor leading to the generous sitting room with a minster fireplace and sliding glazed doors overlooking the garden and river, a custom designed kitchen with oak and walnut units and work tops, oil fired Aga and open plan to the breakfast/family area which has a lovely outlook over the garden, river and meadows beyond. There is also a dining room that could be used as a snug or adapted for use as a 4th bedroom. There are three bedrooms including a master with a luxury en-suite bathroom and a family shower Room. The ancillary rooms include an office, two store rooms, utility/boot room and a cloakroom.
OutsideTo the front is a pavioured drive providing ample parking, a double garage with twin doors and an area of garden with a well. At the rear is a wide stone flagged terrace overlooking the two tiered lawn which adjoins the River Nadder (riparian rights included) with views to the water meadows beyond and a raised seating area. To the side is an outside shower, oil tank and a garden store/workshop.
Situation The property is located in the heart of the small but desirable rural village of Burcombe in the Nadder Valley, a lovely stretch of gently undulating countryside between Salisbury and Shaftesbury forming part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has an excellent butchers, church and petrol station with a small shop whilst good amenities can be found just two miles or so away at Wilton, the ancient capital of Wessex which provides shopping for most everyday needs, a primary school and is famous for the stately home and gardens of Wilton House as well its carpet factory and shopping village. The medieval cathedral city of Salisbury is just beyond, offering more comprehensive shopping, entertainment and cultural facilities as well as a station with direct rail services to London (Waterloo) and a district hospital.
Despite its lovely setting, Burcombe is not isolated being situated just off the A30 and with the A36 close by at Wilton, there are good links to the local road network and the other towns in the region including Andover, Bath, Blandford, Southampton and Warminster as well as to the South Coast whilst the A303 trunk road is around 9 miles away making London, the West Country and motorway system accessible for the motorist. Salisbury and the neighbouring area is well known for having several highly regarded schools in both the state and private sectors including two grammar schools. The village is surrounded by glorious countryside ideal for a variety of rural pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling and fishing whilst there are a number of golf clubs around Salisbury which also has a race course and leisure centre.
