Detached house for sale in Salisbury SP3, 3 Bedroom

A very desirable detached period home, which has attractive green sandstone elevations beneath a thatched roof. Turnpike Cottage has been refurbished in recent years with numerous original features, including extensive exposed timbers and braced pine doors. A notable feature of the property are the extensive grounds which amount to 0.4 of an acre, with an elevated position offering lovely views across the village cricket ground and the valley beyond. The property is not Listed which is unusual in properties of this age and character and would therefore offer opportunities for extension, subject to the usual consents.

The particularly attractive accommodation includes an enclosed entrance porch, dining hall, sitting room, kitchen, cloakroom, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Properties in Compton Chamberlayne rarely come to the market and we recommend an internal inspection at your earliest opportunity.
