3 bed character property for sale in 31 West Street, Wilton, Salisbury (ref: RS121)

31 West Street in Wilton is a beautiful 3 bedroom Grade II listed property which offers a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs or homeowners, to explore and maximise the endless potential of residential, retail and office space.

Create an income from the versatile ground floor retail and office space that benefits from a small kitchenette, cloakroom, a separate entrance and small secure courtyard. The listed shop front has been refurbished to include custom made plantation style shutters. The upper floors provide a bright 'shabby chic' residence with traditional sash windows, rustic wooden shutters and exposed floorboards throughout. The house has the convenience of ample unrestricted on road parking and a wonderful roof terrace to enjoy watching the sunset.

The current owner operates a retail and online business from the premises (business not for sale). A new owner could utilise the income potential of the ground floor with their own business venture, or could simply rent the space out. In the past the shop space has been classed as residential and it may, with permission, be possible to revert to residential classification. This would open up the ground floor space to provide a large bright reception room, or to create self-contained living accommodation for a family member or you could explore options to generate additional rental income.

The shop and living accommodation are accessed via an inner hallway; both have independent secure entrance doorways. The first-floor landing is spacious and bright and could be used as a dining area, study or comfy snug. The lounge is a good size and includes a brick fireplace (chimney not in use), period storage cupboards tucked into the alcoves, and a useful open storage nook. The modern tiled bathroom and rustic warehouse style kitchen/dining room are also on the first floor. On the second floor are 2 double bedrooms at the front and a single to the rear and all share the same shabby chic styling that make these rooms feel cosy. There is potential to create additional storage or a small shower/cloakroom on the second floor landing space. The large sunny roof terrace faces west so benefits from sun during the afternoon until sunset. The outlook at the rear is an unexpected bonus as it takes in the exquisite Italianate Church and extends towards the hills and woods that surround Wilton.

Residents of Wilton enjoy the weekly open market, and benefit from having access to a doctors surgery, dental practice and a primary school. There are several convenience stores along with a post office, library and meeting halls that are always buzzing with community activities. The town has a good choice of cafes, bars and restaurants as well as easy access to the fantastic open countryside, including the stunning Wylye, Nadder, and Chalke valleys. Grovely Woods is nearby and offers 20acres of mixed woodlands. Wilton is also a convenient and popular meeting point for cyclists enjoying National cycle ways that criss cross the town.

It is no wonder that Wilton is quickly increasing in popularity. 31 West Street not only embraces Wilton's dynamic community but also offers access to the beauty of the surrounding countryside. Excellent bus links to Salisbury City make commuting a breeze and from Salisbury you can take a direct train and arrive at Waterloo in just over an hour.
