Welcome to Victoria Road, an exceptional five-bedroom period residence occupying a prime position within one of Salisbury's most sought-after residential areas. Built in the early 1900s, this beautifully preserved and extensively enhanced family home has been lovingly maintained by the current owners for over 30 years. It offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property of genuine historical charm and architectural integrity, seamlessly blended with modern functionality and elegant design. With generous proportions throughout, original features, a bespoke handcrafted kitchen, south-westerly facing garden, and a large cellar, this is a truly special offering.

The home presents a striking facade with its original brick wall and wrought iron gate, leading through a resin-bound gravel path flanked by established planting to the handsome part-glazed front door, complete with Victorian-style tiling and a storm porch. Upon entering, the sense of period character is immediately apparent. The hallway features high ceilings, ornate coving and picture rails, and restored floorboards that continue into the main living spaces.

The front reception room is a superb formal living space with a large rectangular bay window, a feature fireplace with hand-carved wooden surround and log-burning stove, and exquisite original plasterwork. Adjacent is a more informal snug, ideal as a reading room or playroom, with sash window, floor-to-ceiling fitted cupboards, and high ceilings. Both rooms retain original doors and character features. The kitchen is a remarkable space, designed and crafted to measure with Maplewood cabinetry and black slate worktops, complemented by solid oak flooring. It includes quality integrated appliances from AEG and Neff, a ceramic 2 burner electric hob, a 2 burner gas hob, a gas wok hob and extractor, under-counter ceramic sink, and a walk-in pantry with full-height shelving and natural ventilation. From here, the kitchen flows naturally into the bespoke garden room, an oak-framed, vaulted space flooded with natural light and perfect for year-round enjoyment. With solid oak flooring and double doors to the decked terrace, it seamlessly links indoor and outdoor living. A separate utility room and cloakroom are located off the kitchen, offering additional storage, a butler sink, space for white goods, and a recently upgraded gas boiler. The adjoining cloakroom has WC, wash basin, and a window to the side.

The beautifully crafted staircase rises to the first floor, illuminated by a large side sash window. The principal bedroom is a luxurious space, complete with a large bay and additional sash window, fitted limed oak wardrobes, cast iron fireplace, and a stylish en-suite bathroom with panelled bath, WC, and bespoke vanity with storage. Two further double bedrooms are found on this floor, one currently used as a study and gym with built-in shelving and a garden outlook, and another bedroom with the same beautiful outlook to the rear. These are served by a family shower room with walk-in cubicle, Victorian-style basin, WC, and airing cupboard.

The second floor features two more double bedrooms. Bedroom four enjoys dual aspects with cathedral spire views, fitted oak desk, built-in shelving, and generous eaves storage. Bedroom three is positioned to the front and is a bright and peaceful space. A family bathroom on this level has a Velux window, bath with shower attachment, WC, and wash basin. There is also access to a loft space and additional linen cupboard on the landing.

Outside, the rear garden is a delight, well-stocked, private, and enjoying a sunny south-westerly orientation. The raised decking area, bordered by fragrant roses and established wisteria, is ideal for entertaining, enhanced by an electric canopy for optional shade. A gently sloping lawn leads down through thoughtfully planted borders, creating a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. A further highlight is the cellar, accessed via the rear garden. This versatile space benefits from power, heating, and lighting. It leads into extensive, dry storage areas suitable for a range of uses.

Rarely do homes of this calibre, condition, and setting come to market. Located within walking distance of the city centre, parks, and excellent schools, this outstanding property offers substantial, beautifully appointed accommodation full of charm and character in an enviable location.
