Riverside, Wilton, Salisbury

17 Riverside is a wonderful Edwardian end of terrace cottage situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within level walking distance of the market town of Wilton.

The property has been carefully and tastefully renovated to provide a bright and spacious home. The current owner has managed to preserve and add touches of period charm, whilst keeping modern elements to create a practical and comfortable home. The bright open reception space and riverside garden is what helps this cottage stand out as being something really very special.

The accommodation has been well planned to create the feel of an open plan space, yet having the practicality of clearly defined areas. The living room with wood burning stove and decorative fire surround, is separated from the dining area by a beautiful carved wooden screen with 3 feature arches. The arch feature skilfully reflects the architecture of the old church in the heart of Wilton. The kitchen is well presented and leads onto a super handy utility room with plumbing for appliances, and adds useful additional storage.

Currently used as home office, the back bedroom will accommodate a double bed and has a lovely outlook over the garden to the river. The front bedroom is a bright double with built in wardrobes and rustic feature shelving to create a pretty dressing table. The large bathroom is upstairs and benefits from a bath and a separate enclosed shower.

For lovers of nature and the outside life, this cottage offers a unique opportunity to live, play and relax by the water. The garden benefits from a set of double opening gates onto the side alley way, which makes it very easy to store and access canoes, paddleboards and bikes. There is a good sized storage shed with double doors, a workbench, power and light.

Sit quietly at the waters edge, enjoy a cool drink after a hard day at work or enjoy an alfresco meal. It is from here that you will be at one with the wide variety of wildlife that thrives in the garden and river, from gold finches to trout jumping, there is always something to be captivated by.

The cottage benefits from gas central heating with Worcester combi boiler and has UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout. To maximise storage space the loft has power and light and is fully boarded with a pull-down loft ladder.

The pretty town of Wilton offers a wide range of facilities including a doctor's surgery, dentist, post office and supermarket. There is a good choice of cafes, restaurants and pubs. Regular buses run from the market square to Salisbury and beyond.

There is so much to explore in the area; it's easy to fill your picnic basket with treats from the fresh bakery and artisan food shop and take a walk through the nearby water meadows or Grovely Woods. Alternatively, Wilton House, the ancestral home of the Earls of Pembroke since 1544 has fine art collections, a museum and acres of landscaped parkland for visitors to enjoy.
