A beautifully appointed stone house set in lovely gardens and grounds on the outskirts of Salisbury.

8 Bemerton Farm is possibly the most attractive of the 16 similarly well-appointed houses on this smart and well managed retirement complex on the outskirts of Salisbury. Completed in 2001 by the Beachcroft Trust (Cognatum Ltd), Bemerton Farm is an attractive mix of newly built and converted stone houses on the site of The Countess of Pembroke’s former 19th century model farm on the Wilton Estate, much of which is Grade II listed. No.8 is in this agents’ opinion one of the prime houses in the complex, not only because of its well proportioned accommodation, but also because it has the most discreet setting, in the far corner away from the entrance and with the best outlook. The present owner has occupied the house very happily for eight years and has maintained and presented it beautifully throughout. The accommodation comprises a wide entrance hall with double doors into a fine drawing room on one side and a dining room on the other. A well fitted kitchen and a large cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation and upstairs there are three good bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms including a large master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The specification also includes double and triple glazing, high levels of insulation and efficient electric under floor heating, and along with the advantage of an Estate Manager to take care of routine and essential external maintenance, this makes 8 Bemerton Farm an ideal home for retirement or for those who travel regularly and want the security of a house that is safe to lock up and leave.

Bemerton Farm is situated mid-way between Lower Bemerton and Quidhampton on the outskirts of Salisbury. From the village there is easy access into the city centre with a bus route passing the end of the drive to the property. As well as a busy central shopping area around the Market Square Salisbury also has a good range of other amenities including the popular Playhouse Theatre, a cinema, an Arts Centre, restaurants and bars, and of course the renowned Cathedral . Salisbury sits at the confluence of five pretty river valleys (the Ebble, Nadder, Wylye, Avon and Bourne) and is surrounded by some of the most picturesque countryside in the south of England, with excellent walking, riding and cycling country all around and many other good opportunities for leisure and recreation. There are tennis, bowling and golf clubs nearby including a par 3 course adjoining the property. For those who like to travel there is easy access up to the A303 and on to London, and across to the A36 for the south coast. Heathrow, Southampton and Bournemouth airports are all within easy reach and Salisbury has a fast regular train service to London Waterloo and the west country.

The property has the benefit of its own small private garden and terrace and beyond that a lovely outlook across to the listed Dovecote and over the beautifully kept communal gardens. Bemerton Farm also has an attractive “secret” garden across the road which fronts onto the River Nadder and has a lovely southerly aspect across the river and water meadows. As well as plenty of private parking, No.8 also has the benefit of a Single Garage (17’3” x 9’9” (5.25m x 3.92m)) with an electric up and over door, mains power and light.

Leave Salisbury heading west on the Wilton Road (A36) and immediately after you cross the railway at Skew Bridge turn left into Church Lane (in front of Cricket House Bed & Breakfast). Follow the lane into the traffic calming area passing the Bemerton Primary School on the left and the church on the right. The entrance to Bemerton Farm will then come up on your right about ¼ mile after the school. Follow the drive straight ahead and bear left at the end following the drive round towards the Dovecote. No.8 will be seen in front of you on the corner of the building.
