Set within the converted Bemerton Farm estate, this recently refurbished three-bedroom cottage offers retirement living with character and riverside views. The layout is flexible — a through sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen and sun room provide bright living spaces, while the ground-floor study could serve as a third bedroom. Two bathrooms are en suite and there is an additional cloakroom for guests.
The refurbishment has refreshed the interior to a high standard and the property benefits from a patio garden, garage and immediate access to landscaped grounds, woodland and a nearby private walled garden on the River Nadder. The development is specifically for the over-55s and includes estate management services, a personal alarm system and on-site support if required.
Practical points to note: the home is leasehold with around 103 years remaining, an annual service charge of £8,380 and a management company resale administration fee (1% of sale price plus VAT) on future sales. Heating is by electric room heaters and glazing is secondary rather than full double glazing — these factors affect running costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
This property will suit someone looking to downsize into a well-presented, characterful retirement cottage with excellent local amenities and easy access to Salisbury. It offers comfortable, low-maintenance living with communal support, but buyers should budget for service charges and electric heating costs.
