Bouverie Avenue, Salisbury

Woodgrange House is a beautiful and elegant residence which has been greatly enhanced by the current owners during their time in occupation. It offers three storeys of light-filled, stylishly presented accommodation with an open ambience and free-flowing layout ideally suited to modern lifestyles.

On the ground floor, a family room and adjoining kitchen/breakfast area provide a sociable setting at the heart of the home with access into a bright garden room and an impressive sitting room created in an orangery style. Filled with natural light courtesy of a large lantern skylight and a wall of glass with French doors, the sitting room offers a seamless link to a verandah which overlooks the rear garden. The formal dining room features a corner fireplace and fitted display cabinetry. A generously proportioned utility room and cloakroom completes the ground floor facilities. Two staircases rise to the first floor, with one giving direct access to the study and principal en suite bedroom which is currently utilised to provide a luxurious retreat with dressing room and stylish bathroom. The central stairway leads to the principal bedroom suite and also to two first level bedrooms, a modern shower room and the well-appointed family bathroom. Two additional bedrooms are on the top floor, enjoying impressive views to Salisbury Cathedral to the rear, along with a large dressing room which has the plumbing in situ to create a shower room if required, all with illuminating skylight windows.

The house is designed giving the opportunity to utilise the ground floor utility room, rear staircase, study, bathroom and/or dressing room as a separate annexe with its own front door.

The attractively planted garden at Woodgrange House offers an outdoor sanctuary and has been skilfully landscaped to accommodate the gently sloping incline to the rear of the garden which is backed by woodland creating a sheltered, leafy rear boundary.

Paved and gravelled terracing adjoins the house with low-level clipped evergreen hedging at the edge beyond which a naturalistic bank slopes to an area of lawn. Stone-filled gabion baskets form a contemporary retaining wall to the garden area below, where a further paved terrace to one corner incorporates a designated cultivation zone with sleeper edged beds. Hedging, mature shrubs and specimen trees front the lane, providing a degree of privacy and the property is approached via a generous expanse of gravelled driveway which provides parking and turning for several vehicles.

Supplemental accommodation is provided by a timber outbuilding which offers versatile-use options and currently presents as a games room and studio.
