The Borough, Downton, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP5

A charming Grade II 5 bedroom property of 1856 square feet located in the centre of Downton with a stylish extension and beautiful gardens.

75 The Borough is a exceptionally charming property much loved by its owners and believed to date from the 18th century. It is located on the sought-after historic Borough in Downton and it is thought the property would have originally been divided into two properties with a commercial element to the front outlining its varied past. The cottage was sympathetically and tastefully extended around 20 years ago, creating a large kitchen/living room and two further bedrooms making it ideal for a family. The cottage facade belies the depth of accommodation behind the front door where there is 1,856 square feet of living space arranged over 3 floors. On entrance there is dining hall with attractive canted bay window and an original set of stairs to the first floor. There is also a study with a feature fireplace. In the middle of the property there is a useful family room with a door leading to a shower room/utility/cloakroom. There is a rear hall with conventional stairs to the first floor and connects to the beautiful kitchen/family room which is the hub of the home. The kitchen has a selection of base and wall mounted storage, a range style oven, a double butlers sink and granite work top. There is space for a dish washer, fridge freezer and freestanding island. There is an attractive wooden floor, wood burner set in a brick fire place and glass elevations and ceiling to the rear of the extension allowing the garden to become part of the living space.
On the first floor there are 4 double bedrooms, 3 in the older part of the house and one in the extension. There is a well finished family bathroom. Stairs lead to a further bedroom or study on the 2nd floor where there is also access from the landing into the loft potentially allowing further development opportunities (subject to planning).
Externally the property has a right of access to the rear garden via the neighbours alleyway through the green door to the left of the house. The garden has been lovingly cared for with productive flower and vegetable areas, a large lawn and wonderful rural view at the bottom of the garden.

Downton is a thriving village with excellent facilities including a supermarket, bakery/farm shop, several pubs and cafes including the well regarded Borough Cafe, a leisure centre with gym and tennis courts, as well as primary and secondary schooling. There is also a doctors’ surgery, dental practice, library and optician within the village. The New Forest National Park is a short distance away which provides extensive recreational and leisure facilities.

The cottage is positioned to the front of an exceedingly generous and beautifully maintained garden which adjoins neighbouring water meadow, a lovely rural outlook, from which there is access to the Avon Valley Path. There is a patio area leading immediately form the kitchen/family room. Well maintained flower borders and vegetable beds.
