Nunton, Salisbury, Wiltshire - 8 bed - £800,000 - Strutt & Parker - Salisbury

Property details

Bedrooms: 8

The Old Rectory was built in 1910, of red brick under a tiled roof with mainly casement windows. The house has provided a delightful family home for the current owners for over 30 years.

The Old Rectory offers considerable scope for improvement and enlargement by utilising the former coach house and its extensive lofts.

On the ground floor the spacious drawing room, sitting room, dining room and kitchen/breakfast room radiate off a central hall, with a large cloakroom/boot room to one side. At the rear of the property is the large and newly constructed double glazed conservatory, which enjoys views of the garden. The wide staircase leads to a spacious landing on the first floor giving access to the five principal bedrooms, the family bathroom and cloakroom as well as a spacious side landing/sewing area and walk in loft, both with potential for conversion. The second floor provides two further bedrooms and further attic storage.

Close to the kitchen, is the rear hall and utility room, and beyond is the ground floor bedsitting room and adjoining bathroom. Together, these rooms and the adjoining coach house, hay loft and garden store could be further adapted to either enlarge the main accommodation or to provide a substantial self-contained annexe for staff or dependent relative subject to any necessary consents.

The vendor of this property is related to a partner of Strutt & Parker.

The Old Rectory sits on the edge of Nunton in the attractive and popular lower Chalke Valley close to the confluence of the River Ebble and the River Avon, just south of the Cathedral City of Salisbury. Nunton is a sought after village with a church and very good public house and situated between New Hall and Odstock Hospitals. The A338 is close by which gives good access to Salisbury to the north and Bournemouth and Southampton via the M27 to the south.

Salisbury offers a wide range of shopping and recreational facilities as well as a railway station with direct services to London Waterloo. The area is well known for its excellent range of private and state schools including; Chafyn Grove, Leaden Hall, The Cathedral School, Bishop Wordsworth's, Godolphin and South Wilts Grammar School to name but a few.

The house is accessed by an in and out drive with extensive parking. Most of the delightful gardens and grounds are to the rear of the house and face south. There is an enclosed and well screened area of lawn flanked by a number of well stocked shrub and herbaceous borders and mature trees.

At the southern end of the property is a fenced paddock with fruit trees alongside a further area of kitchen garden. This part of the garden overlooks the surrounding open farmland. To the east of the house is a small yard with two timber loose boxes, tack and feed store.
