DESCRIPTION Salida is an outstanding example of modernist architecture, designed by the local exponents of this style, Tim and Bob Organ under their Artist Constructor firm. Set back from the main street in the pretty village of Ubley, Salida is one of four detached homes of this style which enjoy a wonderful series of garden and patio areas that wrap around the entire property. Salida is unique however, retaining much of the original features from this period, recognisable for their pure white exteriors and mono-pitch roofs, the house itself has been cherished by the current owners who have preserved internal detail such as its wood clad vaulted ceilings and original bathroom tiling which remain in impeccable condition. The house is flooded with light, largely thanks to the south facing rear with an expanse of floor to ceiling glazing, a signature element of this style. The house is entered via a large, tiled entrance hall with a cloakroom and wrought iron highlights that lead into a magnificent dining and reception room. Your eyes will be drawn to the high, vaulted ceiling and wide-open views onto the impressive south facing gardens. The kitchen is next to the dining area and has been updated in recent years with modern built-in units and appliances but retains the original and useful serving hatch. Opposite we find the breakfast room, a charming sun-kissed area with flexible use and further up the hallway are the first of four double bedrooms, the second of which, currently used as a TV lounge, enjoys French doors that open onto the rear garden and an additional door that leads into a sunroom which could be further converted. Next to the kitchen is a sizeable storage cupboard, one of several on this floor, and between the bedrooms is the first bathroom, with a modern walk-in shower. Back to the hallway we access a grand, rounded staircase to the first floor. There are two large double bedrooms with large windows overlooking the gardens and a family bathroom bedecked with mid-century tiling and original bath, with shower over, all in wonderful condition. Returning to the ground floor hallway, we access a utility room which offers further access to a covered walkway with floor to ceiling glazing and a double door leading onto a side patio. From here we can enter the rear of the double garage and another exit to the front of the property. This also accesses the detached study that offers a wonderfully peaceful location for work or hobbies, away from the main house and overlooking the mature side gardens. The driveway leading up to the garage provides ample space for parking and this is surrounded by a vast area of lawn, mature trees and shrubs that begin at the front of the property and lead around towards the rear. At the side of the house is a walled area, screened from the main garden and boasting a greenhouse and composting area. Beyond this is the show stopping rear garden, fully south facing and perfectly landscaped to provide a large lawned area and large bedding areas, all of which are set in front of a beautiful backdrop of the fields behind and the hillside woodland. The whole property offers a wonderful amount of privacy whilst still being located in the heart of the village. Salida is a perfect purchase for those with a passion for the Modernist style but will equally welcome a family seeking an exciting project with a vast amount of scope.
