The Bank, Winterbourne Dauntsey

If not unique, there can be few residential settings like 'The Bank'. Accessed at the end of a short no through road with open field on one side and individual properties on the other.

If not for a change of personal circumstances, the next time this property would have been sold would have probably been decades from now. It would also have completed a remarkable transformation into what the current owners first envisioned when they initially viewed and were impressed by the abundance of features. A fantastic opportunity to take on a project and create their perfect family home.

The project was started with a ground floor extension that added a bedroom with walk through wardrobes and an exceptional en-suite with double showers and basins. Further plans would have transformed the ground floor layout and bedroom accommodation on the second floor, potentially taking full advantage of the country views to the rear and mature tree aspect to the front.

The eventual property could primarily be an impressive bungalow, taking full advantage of the garden, with visitor suite upstairs, or have full two storey accommodation to enjoy views from the first floor, or even the best of both options with downstairs bedroom suite for those requiring ground floor facilities. All subject to the relevant permissions being attained. Any option benefitting from the setting, plenty of parking and the feature garden.

Winterbourne Dauntsey is one of three neighbouring 'Winterbourne' villages, including Earls and Gunner, which run in a row along the Bourne Valley, with its lovely river. They share a Church, Primary School, Pub Restaurant and Cricket Pitch. There is a regular bus service into Salisbury and general stores with Post Offices in nearby Porton and Bishopdown.

The current owner says: "There is a great 'village' vibe in the Winterbournes with regular community events arranged. There is also the village hall which has an abundance of activities on over the year, there is the village park adjacent which has in recent years been improved. Nature wise there are 3 accessible spots to paddle in fords! A short walk up to Figsbury Ring, and plenty of other walkways surrounding the property."

The Cathedral City of Salisbury with its many shops and services is vibrant and well-connected, sitting on the main train line between London Waterloo and Exeter.
