Newton Toney, Salisbury, Wiltshire, Sp4

An exciting opportunity to acquire this attractive and largely extended period house offering tremendous scope for improvement and in need of modernisation, situated on a beautiful no through lane on the edge of this highly sought after village

An exciting opportunity to acquire a property that has not been on the market since the 1960s, standing in mature gardens the vast majority of which has views beyond, towards the countryside. Appletree Cottage stands in a plot extending to just over quarter of an acre. The accommodation comprises a reception hall, cosy square sitting room, large open plan split level living/dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room, rear lobby, freezer room/store, cloakroom and a large integral double garage. The first floor comprises four good sized bedroom spaces and a single bathroom, currently the rooms are connected but a better layout could be achieved by installing some short passageways to create four independent bedrooms served by potentially two to three bath/shower rooms. If you are happy to take on a project, we thoroughly recommend viewing this property to appreciate its great potential, the setting and the village.

The property is situated in the village of Newton Toney which has a church, public house, infant and primary school, community hall and bus service. A railway station providing fast services to Waterloo is located in Grateley, approximately five miles away. The cathedral city of Salisbury is about eight miles distant and the A303 is close at hand (approximately three miles) allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
