Nunton Drove, Nunton, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP5

A superbly positioned 4 bedroom detached family home with a 0.6 acre plot on the edge of the ever popular village of Nunton. No forward chain.


Newcourt Lodge is a wonderfully positioned family home in the highly sought after village of Nunton which is close to both Salisbury and the District Hospital.  The property was built approximately 40 years ago by a reputable local developer and has been in the same ownership since.  It has an attractive facade of re-claimed brick, timber cladding underneath a pitched clay tiled roof and it is situated in a particularly quiet location on a small lane of just 6 properties; Newcourt Lodge is the last property on the lane. The plot measures around 0.6 acres and has fields on 2 sides allowing for exceptional views onto farmland.  Internally the property is a spacious and well cared for family home, but would now benefit from modernisation and updating. The large plot would also allow for expansion and development (subject to necessary consents). 

The property is accessed over a gravel drive with parking for several vehicles in front of a detached double garage.  On entrance the house has an entrance hall with parquet flooring and stairs to the first floor.  There is a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.  The dining room has a dual aspect and the study has a brick fireplace.  The sitting room is an exceptionally good size with a triple aspect and two sets of patio doors leading onto the garden.  There is stylish parquet flooring and a charming brick fireplace with surround and hearth with inset woodburner.  The kitchen/breakfast room has an excellent selection of base and wall mounted storage units, double stainless steel sink with electric hob and oven.  There is a back door leading onto the garden and ample room for a breakfast table.  The utility room has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, butlers sink and a wall mounted gas boiler (from private supply).  On the first floor there are 4 double bedrooms, bedroom 1 is a particularly good sized double with a selection of built-in wardrobes, wonderful dual aspect with lovely rural views and a en-suite shower room with corner shower, WC and 2 wash hand basins with storage below.  Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 are all doubles and have attractive views onto the garden and fields beyond.  The family bathroom has a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.  Externally stunning gardens surround the property with a large flat lawn area with well stocked and maintained flowerbeds; mature hedgerows allow high levels of privacy.

In all a superbly positioned property which would ideally suit a family and due to its prime location has excellent potential.

The property is pleasantly situated in the popular village of Nunton which is only 3 miles from Salisbury and just a 5 minute drive from Salisbury District Hospital. There is an excellent local pub in the Radnor Arms and the nearby village of Odstock has the Yew Tree Inn as well as a Nursery and Dentist. The surrounding countryside caters for all manner of pursuits with delightful walking and riding country.  The A354 and A338 are within easy striking distance.  Both New Hall and Salisbury District Hospital are nearby and there is a regular bus service into Salisbury which is approximately two miles away.  Salisbury has an excellent range of educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market.  There is also a mainline railway station to Waterloo in approximately 90 minutes.

Newcourt Lodge has a delightful plot extending to around 0.6 acres.  The gardens have been superbly maintained over the years and comprise a large flat lawn edged with well stocked flowerbeds, 2 ponds and a productive orchard with plum, apples (both eating and cooking) and damson trees as well as a well stocked fruit cage with red, black and white currants.  To the front of the property there is a gravel drive providing off road parking for several vehicles and one could easily house a motorhome or caravan down the side of the property.  There is also a double garage with 2 electric up and over doors, power and lighting, as well as a greenhouse and further shed.
