An exquisite four bedroom period townhouse, in a convenient city centre location.
With origins dating back as far as 1864, St. Clare is an elegant and well-proportioned period townhouse, which also has the benefit of a substantial garden, cellar, off road parking and a single garage. The principal rooms are arranged over the ground floor with further potential reception areas/bedrooms down on the lower ground floor. All bedrooms and bathrooms are up on the first and second floor, ideal for family or guests. There is a number of original period features throughout including the fireplace mantels in most rooms and bannister in the hallway. Although currently non-functional, the fireplaces within the home do have the option of being recommissioned should an incoming buyer wish to have the chimney re-lined.
Amounting to 2,446 sq ft of generous accommodation arranged over four floors, the home opens into an open and inviting entrance hallway. To the front of the property is a substantial bay-windowed sitting room, with large triple glazed windows allowing in an enormous amount of natural light. At the rear is the kitchen/dining room, with views of an access to the stunning rear garden. The kitchen area has space for an oven with extractor hood overhead, undercounter dishwasher and freestanding fridge freezer, with an island counter to provide further counter space and add a natural divide to the room. The dining area can comfortably accommodate a 6 8 seat dining set, plus other large furnishings such as an armchair or cabinets.
Below in the cellar is a considerable sized storage space with access to the boiler and further storage directly ahead. Following the hall around the corner is further storage areas and rooms, plus a window to the garden to allow in natural light. At the front of the cellar is a partially converted bay-windowed room that is currently utilised as a snug, only a fraction smaller than the primary reception room overhead. On occasion the snug is used as a fifth/guest bedroom when required. The Utility room is also located in the cellar, with ample space for a tumble dryer, washing machine, chest freezer, boot area and sink, plus even more storage space. It is thought that there is potential to convert this space into further living accommodation or an annexe due to the external access to the lower ground floor, subject to the necessary consents. This would perhaps create income potential, or alternatively it would be perfect for providing independent living accommodation for dependent relatives or care givers.
Over the first and second floor of the property are four generously sized double bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The front bedroom on the first floor, which is the second largest bedroom in the property, has telephone points and as historically it has been utilised as a home office and bedroom. At the rear of the first floor is the primary bedroom, with a sensational view over the beautiful garden in addition to fitted wardrobes. Further to the generous double bedrooms on the second floor, there is loft access from the rear room plus a small maids closet , with fitted wardrobes for linens, storage for the water tank and room for a coffee and tea making set for guests.
At the rear of the home is a long and beautiful maintained rear garden. Opening onto a small patio area, the bottom end of the garden is predominantly laid with a well-manicured lawn and bordered by a number of established shrubs and planted trees. There is a quaint greenhouse tucked away for storage and use as a nursery and a larger patio area further down the garden with ample space for outdoor furnishings. Beyond is a natural divide to the garden via shrubbery, with a further outdoor area neatly tucked behind. The two main features of this garden are sat just behind a planted birch tree, which was gifted to the current occupiers as a sapling and has since grown into an appealing mature tree. In the bottom left corner of the garden is a warm and inviting summerhouse, fitted with electrics and overlooking the garden. Directly across is a custom built outdoor bar, fitted with electrics to allow for a standing fridge freezer for drinks and nibbles. To the front of the property is a good-sized driveway, with space for three to four vehicles, with a single garage with workshop just beyond for secure off road parking.
Wilton Road is located on the western side of the city, where it is a predominantly level walk to the city centre. A number of the excellent range of educational, leisure and shopping facilities available in Salisbury are within walking distance. There are a range of schools both private and state as well as two grammar schools; Bishops Wordsworth for boys and South Wilts for girls. Salisbury also has a mainline railway station with direct trains to London Waterloo, journey time approximately 90 minutes. Salisbury has excellent road links to London (A303), Southampton (A36) and Bournemouth (A338). The property is set back from the main road behind a brick wall, with further fencing and hedges along the boundary of the home.
