Step into a generous entrance hall, where two large built-in storage cupboards offer ample room for coats, shoes, and household items. From here, doors lead to the main living areas, all arranged on one level for ease and flow. The spacious sitting/dining room is filled with natural light thanks to the double glazed windows to the front aspect. A decorative fireplace adds a focal point to the room, creating a welcoming environment perfect for relaxing or entertaining. This is a versatile living space with plenty of room for both a comfortable seating area and dining setup. Adjoining the living room is the well-planned kitchen, which is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units and a stainless steel sink with drainer. There is space for all essential white goods, and a side-aspect window ensures plenty of daylight. A built-in breakfast bar offers casual dining space or a handy additional work surface, enhancing the kitchen's functionality.
The bedroom is a generously sized double, also with a front-facing window. There is ample space for wardrobes and furniture, making it a quiet and restful retreat. The bathroom is stylishly appointed with a full-size panelled bath, an electric shower over with an additional handheld attachment, WC, and a wash basin with splashback tiling. Finished in a neutral palette, it provides a clean and practical space.
Outside, the apartment benefits from its own allocated off-street parking space, along with further visitor parking and a bus stop to the front. To the rear, the property opens out to a beautifully maintained communal garden, a true highlight of Horseshoe Court. Laid mostly to lawn and framed by mature trees and established flower beds, this shared green space offers tranquil views over the adjacent water meadows – a rare and idyllic backdrop to everyday life.
This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a well-located, easy-to-maintain home in a peaceful yet connected village setting, just a short drive from Salisbury and within walking distance of local shops, cafes, and countryside walks.
