Green Lane, Ashmore, Salisbury, SP5

Built of brick and flint under a clay tiled roof, The Walnut Tree has been constructed to a high specification and has sensibly configured accommodation over three floors; more recent works have included converting the conservatory into a garden/dining room with a solid roof which has significantly improved the accommodation. The property sits in a quiet position down a no-through lane and enjoys magnificent views to both the east and west. Other attributes worthy of note are the light and bright accommodation, a nicely proportioned sitting room with a bay window and open fireplace with inset woodburner, the recent installation of a modern treatment plant and high quality finishes throughout.

The house is approached off the lane through a five barred gate to a gravel parking area with room for several cars. There is a single garage constructed of brick with a slate roof. At the rear of the garage is a separate utility room. To the front of the house is an area of lawn bordered by herbaceous plants and hedging. There are a variety of climbing roses. The garden is flanked on one side by close boarded fencing; a picket gate leads to the rear garden with a further graveled area with a walnut tree, two garden sheds and a large terrace. The property has wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.
