Hackthorne Road, Durrington, Salisbury

Waters Edge is a unique modern house with four double bedrooms and airy, spacious accommodation. The property features sleek, contemporary styling throughout with neutral décor, high-quality fittings and plenty of natural light from the impressive double-height windows to the front and rear.

Much of the ground-floor accommodation flows together in a semi open-plan layout, with Japanese-style shoji sliding doors dividing the main reception rooms into discreet living spaces. There is the central living and dining area with its partially double-height ceiling and wall of glass, providing views toward the river and welcoming in plenty of natural light. Adjoining the dining area, the dual aspect sitting room offers plenty of space to relax, with an open fire and a large study next to it—ideal for private home working.

To the other side of the dining area, the open kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with sleek, modern storage units in white, and features a large central island with a breakfast bar and integrated appliances.

Each of the ground floor reception rooms, plus the kitchen, open onto the rear garden via sliding glass doors, while both the sitting room and study also have sliding glass doors opening to the front of the house.

A staircase leads up to a galleried landing which enjoys an extensive range of built in storage and laundry space. The four beautifully presented double bedrooms include the principal bedroom with its en suite bathroom and doors opening to the sunny elevated terrace. Each of the additional bedrooms are en suite, with two of the bedrooms also opening onto the balcony areas from which to enjoy the views. The fourth bedroom has a mezzanine level above, ideal as an additional working space.

At the front of the house, security gates open onto the block-paved driveway, where there is plenty of parking space and access to the detached double carport and log store. The garden is predominatly to the rear, taking advantage of the stunning, tranquil riverside setting.

There is partially shaded terracing across the back of the house, with a hot tub and a resistance swimming pool sunk into the terracing. There is also an outdoor bar area, ideal for entertaining, and steps leading down to the main lawn, as well as an additional seating area right on the riverbank.

A footbridge provides access across the river, where there is a further peaceful meadow, surrounded by mature trees.
