*WATCH THE VIDEO TOUR* Fabulous, contemporary, reverse-level house built against the green hillside of St Marks, with lovely views out towards Laverstock Down, yet within walking distance of Salisbury city centre. Set amongst a group of just two others tucked down a private lane off St Marks Avenue, the house is set in a delightful, manageable garden and offers an unusually rural aspect and a sense of tranquility, despite being so close to town. Designed in 2014 by renowned local builders, Ludlow Developments, with a bold and generous use of space and to an extremely high specification, the house, with its large windows, is entirely focused on the views over the garden to the green hills beyond. It is a beautifully hidden Idyll filled with light. There is underfloor heating of the lower level, together with a Scandinavian wood-burning stove in the sitting room. The exterior on approach gives no clue as to the impressive building behind. In addition to the double garage, there is generous parking for several cars, and there is a useful studio/workshop/garden shed and log store.”
