Nadder House presents a rare opportunity to purchase one of Salisbury’s finest homes, positioned just a mile from the city centre. The home is beautifully designed and constructed, seamlessly blending the scale and proportions of Georgian architecture with the flexibility and functionality expected for modern family living. The home extends to 3379 sq. ft set over three floors. In addition to the main dwelling, the home has a gorgeous, detached Grade II listed two-bedroom barn and double garage, all set within its 0.75 of an acre of private parkland grounds that are bordered by the River Nadder.

Main Home.

Upon entering the home, the size and quality is immediately apparent. The living accommodation is arranged around the welcoming entrance hall with the primary reception rooms all perfectly positioned to best enjoy the southerly aspect and views across grounds to the river. To the front there is a dining room with bespoke fitted cabinetry. To the rear there is an elegant formal sitting room with a warming open fire and French door opening out to the rear terrace. There is then a comfortable family room with pocket doors that open out to the stunning kitchen/ breakfast room. The Sheraton Kitchen, that was updated in 2022, is beautifully designed and finished with effortlessly stylish cabinetry and the highest quality integrated appliances, including Rangemaster ovens and induction hob, Fisher & Paykel fitted fridge freezer, dishwasher and Quooker tap. The vast central island provides an informal dining space whilst there is space beyond, under a vaulted ceiling, for a sizeable dining set. French doors again open out to the rear terrace. Completing the ground floor is a large boot room/ utility room and a cloakroom.

On the first floor there are three generous double bedroom suites, all with beautiful en-suite shower or bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite benefits from a luxuriously appointed en-suite shower room, full array of built-in wardrobes and a separate walk-in wardrobe. Further stairs lead to the second floor where there are two good double bedrooms serviced by a shower room. In addition, there is a useful fully fitted study.

The Barn.

This wonderful, detached ancillary space provides a wealth of opportunity having been used as an extremely successful BnB, or alternatively it is a glorious guest suite, workspace, or a home for a family member. The barn itself is Grade II listed with accommodation measuring 969 Sq. Ft that has been beautifully designed and finished boasting exposed brick walls and original beams. The ground floor is open plan with a pretty fitted kitchen, cosy seating area with space for a dining area and a French door opening out to a private terrace. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a luxury shower room. There is a small private terrace with pretty planted floral borders to service the barn.

Outside

Discreetly nestled in the heart of Lower Road, the home is perfectly positioned within its substantial 0.75 acre plot.

Solid electric gates open onto a large driveway that perfectly sets the tone for this handsome, upstanding home. There is parking for multiple vehicles and a detached double garage with electric up and over doors. The hedged boundaries, that are interspersed with mature trees and planted with flowing shrubs perfectly frame the frontage. The sense of seclusion and quiet is immediate.

The rear grounds are of particular note and are an unexpected joy bearing in mind the proximity to the City. An expansive paved terrace spans the rear of the home allowing the internal accommodation to seamlessly flow out to the gardens, a simply spectacular spot for alfresco entertaining and dining, or to quietly enjoy the rolling parkland grounds and the River Nadder.

The grounds effortlessly embrace the natural contours with an established lawn gently flowing down to the River Nadder. Steps lead down form the upper garden and terrace to a vast lawn that is flanked by sweeping, abundantly stocked floral and herbaceous borders. Specimen trees providing height and structure. A low-level picket fence lines the riverbank where steps lead down to the waters edge.

The garden is a true oasis, and undoubtedly rare. The southerly aspect ensures the gardens are bathed in sunshine all day long. The home also benefits from having Riparian rights.
