The Borough, Downton, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP5

An end terrace, period, two-bedroom cottage with extended, ground floor accommodation and a riverside garden in the heart of Downton.

A delightful, period cottage with riverside garden within the heart of an historic and vibrant village, close to the New Forest. Whether suitable as a permanent residence, holiday home or perhaps a rental investment the accommodation has been modernised in the past and extended to the rear which may not be apparent at first glimpse. Upstairs there are two generous, double bedrooms and a shower room whilst, on the ground floor, there is a welcoming reception hall or perhaps study area, a separate dining room, the kitchen and inner hall. This leads to a large cloakroom and separate utility room before reaching a well proportioned sitting room with conservatory beyond. Gas fired central heating is installed and there is a mix of wood framed windows and Upvc double glazing. Outside there is a large, walled and paved patio with gated side, pedestrian access whilst the remaining garden, approx 150ft, extends along the riverbank and is laid to grass with a couple of apple trees.

The property is located within the heart of the historic and particularly sought after village of Downton which lies to the south of the cathedral city of Salisbury. The village is conveniently situated for the New Forest National Park, Salisbury or south towards Ringwood and in turn Bournemouth, Southampton and the South Coast. The village itself supports a thriving community with an excellent choice of primary, secondary and pre-school facilities whilst it is also in the Salisbury Grammar schools catchment. Other amenities include a doctors' and dental practice, a library, Co-op supermarket with Post office and a chemist, three public houses and a play park. The village also benefits from an indoor leisure centre, tennis and bowls clubs and its own minor league football club. There is excellent public transport to and from the village which is also renowned for its regionally famous annual Cuckoo Fair which attracts many visitors and sees the village come together on May Day to celebrate with arts and crafts and exhibitors from the local area.
