Description
Sarum house dates back to the 1880’s and is a fine example of a detached town residence, full of character and just look at that front elevation! There are few homes that haven’t been altered over the years – and this is one of them. Located just a short walk from the town centre and less than a minute to a bus stop, it’s a perfect location to balance the modern convenience of town living against the character and history of such a lovely late Victorian home. Directly opposite the front of the house is the beautiful Newcombes Meadow with open parkland, children’s play areas, bowls club and this provides an additional bonus right on the doorstep, ideal for those with active children or pets!
Double doors lead to an entrance vestibule with a further door to the hallway. The two reception rooms, with their high 3m ceilings are wonderful and overlook the gardens to the front. A kitchen/breakfast room is at the back plus a small utility room and WC. On the first floor are 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom and a “hidden” staircase leads to a large open loft room which offers excellent additional space and could be improved to provide further habitable space (subject to permissions). There is gas fired central heating and secondary glazing to some windows. The house isn’t listed.
Outside, gates lead into the front garden from Union Road and low, wide steps wind around the planted beds to the front door. Given its slightly elevated position, the house has some lovely views over the town, Newcombes Meadow and the church. To the rear is a further garden with a paved terrace and steps leading up to a higher terrace and again to a rear pedestrian gate opening out onto Park Street plus there’s a double garage here too which provides the all-important parking and storage which many properties in this type of central location just don’t have.
