Country house for sale in School Road, Lover, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP5

A well presented and maintained 3-bedroom chalet style house on the edge of the village with a delightful rural outlook. No onward chain.

Serida is a spacious 3-bedroom chalet-style house situated on the fringes of the village with a lovely outlook to the front over neighbouring farmland. The accommodation is perhaps more spacious than initially meets the eye and there is a versatile spread of accommodation on the ground floor with the possibility of a ground floor bedroom, complemented by two further bedrooms on the first floor, including a principal bedroom that includes a generous dressing area with superb views of local countryside. The accommodation has been extremely well maintained and is presented in excellent condition throughout, with the benefit of double glazing, a modern oil-fired central heating system and a well-appointed kitchen supplied by Anya’s of Downton. Externally, there is a well-maintained, manageable garden and a single garage with workshop and utility space. The property is being sold with the benefit of no forward chain.

The property is quietly situated on the edge of the desirable village of Lover and is tucked just inside the uppermost north western boundary of the New Forest National Park. Lover and the immediate neighbours Redlynch, Morgans Vale and Woodfalls have facilities for day to day needs, including the Kings Head public house, a village shop in Woodfalls and a primary school in Morgans Vale. The neighbouring village of Downton provides a range of further facilities including primary and secondary schooling, shops, a library, medical and health facilities, a cafe and selection of public houses.

Lover lies equidistant between the Avonside town of Fordingbridge and Cathedral City of Salisbury, the latter home to extensive educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market. There is a mainline railway station with regular services to London Waterloo and the area is convenient for access onto the A36/M27 and the M3.

There is excellent walking, riding and cycling in the surrounding countryside and New Forest and a network of local bridle ways access the surrounding countryside for some glorious outriding. There are a selection of golf courses nearby including Hamptworth and Bramshaw and sailing opportunities abound on the South Coast and Spinnaker Lake in Blashford.

The property is approached over a gravelled driveway that supplies parking for 2-3 cars. Alongside the driveway is an area of lawn with planted borders and enclosed on the front boundary by mature hedging that lends a good screen.

To the side of the property a set of high level wooden gates open to:

Single garage with workbench area (the current work bench will be removed). Light and power connected. Personal door to side. Beyond the workbench area is a separate utility with space and plumbing for washing machine, freezer space and single bowl stainless steel sink and drainer.
