Set within a plot of about one third of an acre, Wychwood is a 1950's built detached family home which has been owned and occupied by the current owners since 1976. The property, an award winning design and Ideal Homes winner, offers immense potential to enlarge and/or improve the current accommodation. Presently there are three good sized bedrooms and a box room together with three generous living rooms, one of which is a conservatory constructed in the late 1990's. Off the kitchen is a series of rooms including a rear lobby, utility room and laundry room. The current owners have maintained Wychwood to a high standard, the property is fully double glazed and central heating is provided by a mains gas fired boiler to radiators. A particular feature of the property is undoubtedly the gardens which are an excellent size and very well maintained. In conclusion Wychwood is an extremely attractive property located in the highly desirable position on the outskirts of East Harnham and must be viewed.

OUTSIDE
The property is located at the end of Britford Lane in the attractive settlement of East Harnham on the outer edge of Salisbury. Wychwood is almost centrally positioned within a plot extending to about one third of an acre. Access from Britford Lane is via a private gated tarmacadam drive extending approximately 90ft from the lane to the front of the house. The drive is bordered by mature lawns with attractive shrubs, flower beds and specimen trees. Access from one side of the property leads through to an attractive fully enclosed rear garden which is beautifully maintained with a vast area of lawn bordered and interspersed by flowerbeds and shrubs. There is a superb specimen willow tree located off to one side of the garden; there is also a garden store, timber garden shed, greenhouse and vegetable garden with raised beds. The whole plot enjoys a lovely sunny south westerly aspect.


AGENTS NOTE
Whilst there is the appearance of a garage it is half the normal depth and is currently used as a workshop/store; the laundry room takes up the rear half. It is considered there is sufficient space to the front of the property off the drive to construct a double garage.
