Property description

Occupied by the current owners since 1995, The Glen is a substantial 1930's semi-detached family home occupying an excellent position on the edge of Salisbury within the hugely popular Stratford sub Castle. The property has had the benefits of two storey extensions to both the side and rear elevations with a further loft room conversion resulting in the current level of accommodation which includes four double and one single bedroom, two bathrooms and a large attic. There are two separate reception rooms both with fireplaces although the dining room fireplace is currently boarded; there is a useful first floor study which is fitted with bespoke cabinetry/furniture and there is still room enough to the rear of the property to further enlarge the ground floor accommodation with addition of a garden room/conservatory. Original features retained within the property include internal timber panelled doors, picture rails and an original 1930's timber casement window in the dining room. In conclusion The Glen is a fantastic family home which is offered for sale in extremely good order, enjoys an equally superb position and is convenient for access to the city centre and of course the grammar schools.

There is a paved seating area immediately to the rear of the property and a second to the rear of the garage.
