The Croft, Bishopstone, Salisbury

Occupying a generous plot with a sweeping driveway, double garage and well-proportioned accommodation, 21 The Croft presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking a substantial home with considerable scope for improvement and personalisation. The property offers five bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and an enclosed west-facing rear garden, with the potential to modernise and reconfigure certain areas to suit contemporary living.

The property is warmed by an oil-fired central heating system. Whilst the house would benefit from a programme of refurbishment and modernisation, it offers a good opportunity for a purchaser to update the existing accommodation and create a home tailored to their own requirements. In particular, there may be scope to reconsider the arrangement of the kitchen and dining room to create a more open-plan kitchen and dining space, subject to the necessary investigations and consents.
The front door opens into an entrance porch with a tiled floor, leading through to the entrance hall, where stairs rise to the first floor and a door provides access to the ground-floor cloakroom. The principal sitting room is a particularly appealing reception space, enjoying a double aspect and featuring a wood-burning stove. A separate reception room offers further flexibility, whether used as a snug, study or additional sitting room. The dining room connects the principal reception areas with the kitchen, providing a natural arrangement for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of floor and wall-mounted units, with an adjoining utility area incorporating a further sink and plumbing for appliances. A door leads directly into the double garage, where the oil-fired boiler is located. There is also a large family room enjoying good natural light from its glazed windows and sliding doors, which open onto the west-facing rear garden.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to all five bedrooms and the family bathroom, together with a substantial built-in storage cupboard. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, featuring two double-glazed windows overlooking the rear garden, extensive built-in wardrobe storage and a large ensuite bathroom. The ensuite incorporates a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, twin pedestal wash-hand basins, WC and built-in airing cupboard.
The guest bedroom is another well-proportioned double room, enjoying a pleasant outlook towards the rear garden. Three further bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in wardrobes, provide versatile accommodation for family members, guests or those requiring space to work from home. These rooms are served by the family bathroom, which comprises a panelled bath, pedestal wash-hand basin and WC.

The property occupies a generous plot, approached via a sweeping driveway providing extensive off-road parking and access to the double garage, which features an electric roller door, power and lighting. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn with established shrubs and a specimen tree.
The enclosed, west-facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, complemented by established shrub borders and a patio extending along the rear of the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A side gate provides convenient access between the front and rear gardens, with the outside space offering excellent scope for further landscaping and enhancement.
