5a North Street, Wilton, Salisbury

Ideal for a developer or investor! 5A North Street is a well-built red brick 4-bed detached house with off-road parking and an enclosed garden in the centre of Wilton. The building has a fascinating history as a key building in Wilton but has been empty for several years. With massive potential and in a prime central location, it offers the new owner a rare opportunity to transform 5A back to its former glory as a wonderful family home, or to explore the potential to develop subject to relevant permissions.

5a North Street was originally the Telephone Exchange here in Wilton before becoming a family home in the 1960s and remaining so for two generations. A section of the ground floor was separated from the main living accommodation and Midland Bank rented this newly created office space. After the bank moved out, the property was rented to a variety of businesses before returning to being a family home in the mid-2000s. The former office rooms were converted into a ground floor bedroom and walk-in shower room. These rooms have a separate power supply from the rest of the property. The entire property is now classed as residential.

This spacious house has a lovely feeling; it has big bright rooms and has been a much-loved proper family home filled with love and laughter. The big windows to the front overlook the huge tree in the middle of the market place that is used as Wilton's Christmas tree, and St Mary's church and the historic archways.

The accommodation now comprises of a large entrance hallway and reception room with original parquet flooring. A kitchen room/ dining room with a useful walk-in pantry. The old office space now forms a reception room, a walk-in shower room with WC and a rear lobby. Upstairs are 4 double bedrooms, all with original period features and a family bathroom. The loft space is huge and provides ample extra storage space.

To the rear of the house are 2 useful outbuildings, one is an old outside WC and the other a storage area. The garden is small but not overlooked and enclosed; as well as a mature apple tree it has some really beautiful rose bushes and established flowering shrubs.

There is private off-road parking for 3 vehicles.

With careful planning and execution, investors or developers have the opportunity the unlock full potential of the house and outbuildings. Positioned within easy reach of amenities, schools, and transportation, its location is sure to appeal to potential buyers or tenants looking for both comfort and accessibility.
