House For Sale £650,000
Situated in a charming position within the seriously desirable village of Middle Woodford with beautiful views across open countryside beyond, this deceptive home offers the best of rural living yet is still within easy reach of the amenities of Salisbury.
The original cottage is believed to be four to five hundred years old with the more recent extensions added some 40 years ago creating the unexpectedly spacious home you find today. This much cherished home is offered to market for the first time in over 30 years, a testament to the home itself and the wonderful Middle Woodford community.
The property seamlessly blends a wealth of characterful features such as exposed beams and feature fireplaces with open, flowing living spaces. The welcoming entrance hall, that has a useful adjoining cloak cupboard, gives way to the impressive open plan sitting/dining room. The eye is drawn to the rear where the far reaching view is immediately apparent. This wonderful central room is divided by a few stone steps that define the characterful dining area with a large unused inglenook fireplace and the light and airy dual aspect sitting area that has built in bookcases. Adjoining is the breakfast room that has French doors opening to the garden. Beyond is the comprehensively appointed kitchen that has ample wall and base units under wooden work surfaces. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a large utility/laundry room and a cloakroom. The first floor accommodation comprises four bedrooms arranged around a central landing, including a generous master bedroom to the front that boasts spectacular views across the valley. There are three further well balanced bedrooms which share access to a modern family bathroom.<br/><br/><b>Outside</b><br/><br/>The home occupies a discreet central position within the village, adjacent to the beautiful village church and overlooking the open parkland and river. To the front of the house is a private parking area that provides access to the detached double garage. The garage has electric up and over doors and offers scope for a conversion of the useful loft space above, subject to usual consents. Behind the garage is a further area of parking and the oil tank.
The garden is well landscaped. There is a contoured paved terrace adjoining the home, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. Steps lead up to the mature lawn that is flanked by floral and herbaceous beds and borders and interspersed with specimen tress. The garden offers a good degree of privacy and a sunny southerly aspect with hedged boundaries and a small gate that leads onto the village road.<br/><br/><b>Situation</b><br/><br/>The Woodford Valley is a highly regarded and sought after area to the north of Salisbury and encompasses three small villages; Upper, Middle and Lower Woodford. The east of the parish is marked by the River Avon and to the west by the old Salisbury to Devizes link road. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and interspersed with picturesque villages and a number of excellent walks and cycle rides, as well as byways for horse riding. Middle Woodford lies at the heart of the Valley and is a quintessential village with an active community and ample facilities including a church, a well-regarded primary school (ofsted Outstanding February 2009), a bus stop and a number of societies. There are two popular public houses in the Woodfords, and a short distance there is also a garage with shop. The Cathedral City of Salisbury is about 5 miles away offering a variety of regionally recognised retail, cultural and educational establishments all within easy reach as well as a range of award winning restaurants, bars and a lively twice weekly farmers market. An outstanding variety of leisure facilities are available nearby including golf, fishing, walking and riding.
