Maddington Street, Shrewton, Salisbury, SP3

Pretty period family house with delightful gardens.

Description

Believed to date from 1860, this charming unlisted southfacing house showcases a wealth of period detail and flexible accommodation. The attractive front elevation boasts decorative carved wooden friezes above the principal windows. Recent upgrades by the owners include a new boiler and central heating system, created a very special terrace to the rear of the house and altered the internal layout incorporating the kitchen and previously separate dining room into one to suit modern living. In 2021 the property received full planning permission for a two-story side extension and internal alterations, this has recently expired however it is thought similar could be achieved with a new application. (please refer to Savills office for further information).

The panelled entrance hall with oak flooring offers access to a dual-aspect sitting room, with stone fireplace housing an attractive wood burner and French doors to the delightful terrace. Opposite is a dual aspect kitchen/dining room, fitted out to one end with high quality floor mounted units by Handmade Kitchens of Christchurch, many with power lighting incorporated. A delightful island with seating at either end. Electric Aga, integral dishwasher and space for large fridge/freezer. The opposite end provides plenty of space for a dining table and chairs. It opens through to an L-shaped boot/utility room, with plenty of storage cupboards and a door at each end to the garden and side-return respectively. At the utility end are further built in units beneath quartz work surfaces, a Belfast sink and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. Off this room is a cloakroom and to the rear a cosy family room has French doors onto the terrace and benefits from a modern woodburning stove. This room, with the adjacent shower room/cloakroom, could be used as a downstairs bedroom, if desired. A study, overlooking the garden, completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, two bedrooms have been converted into a principal bedroom suite, with dressing room bathroom. The dressing room could, alternatively, be returned to its previous use as a bedroom. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The house is approached from Maddington Street via a gravel driveway, with parking for several cars in front of a double garage.

A private and recently added stone terraced courtyard, with access to the double garage and storage room, sits in a secluded position behind the house. Steps lead up to an elevated area of garden. Predominantly laid to lawn, it has an attractive outlook over surrounding countryside. A pergola-covered terrace catches the evening sun. The owners have created an area of kitchen garden, with raised vegetable beds and a shed with electric power. A gate leads through to an orchard.

There is a wide selection of both state and private schools in the area, including Salisbury Cathedral School, Chafyn Grove and Godolphin, as well as Bishop Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar Schools.
