A beautifully presented detached house that offers spacious 3-bedroom accommodation over two floors, occupying a lovely, partially elevated position on the very edge of the village that affords a glorious outlook across adjoining farmland to countryside beyond. The house has been maintained in first-class condition throughout and has been fully redecorated and benefitted from refurbished bath and shower rooms during the current owners' tenure. A welcoming entrance hall with a galleried landing creates an impression of light and space, which remains a theme of many of the principal rooms including the superb sun room and main bedroom, which benefits from a Juliette balcony overlooking neighbouring countryside. The house sits in established gardens extending to in excess of 1/3 acre and there is a useful single garage and adjoining store room that could serve a number of other purposes (subject to any planning requirements).

The house is located on the southerly outskirts of the village, adjoining open farmland. Downton is a highly sought after, thriving village with a number of shops and other amenities available on the High Street and The Borough, the historic village centre, where there is a popular cafe, The Borough Cafe. The village has a doctors' surgery and reputable primary and secondary schools, as well as a library and leisure centre. For the outdoor enthusiast, the New Forest National Park is close at hand, it's thousands of acres of heath and wood land offering ideal walking and riding country. Downton is also conveniently situated for road access to the regional centres of Salisbury, Bournemouth and Southampton via the A338 and A36 respectively which makes this village an attractive location for those who wish to commute to work on the south coast. There are fast regular trains from Salisbury railway station to London Waterloo and the west country and Heathrow. Bournemouth and Southampton airports are all easily accessible.

A gated access provides access to a generous gravelled parking area to the front of the house with pedestrian access to the entrance porch and side access to the rear garden.

Alongside the parking area is a timber clad GARAGE (4.7m x 3.13m) with light and power connected and adjoining STORE (6.14m x 3.49m) wih light and power connected and access to roof storage. Subject to any necessary planning permisison, the store offers potential for a range of uses including a home office. There is also a LOG STORE alongside the garage and an area of storage beneath the building.

The garden is a particular feature of the property, being primarily laid to lawn and sloping away from the house in a westerly direction, with superb, far-reaching views that can be enjoyed from numerous vantage points, not least a lovely raised decked area that immediately adjoins the Sun Room. The lawn is interspersed with mature tree specimens and home to two useful garden sheds.
