Property description

A truly rare opportunity to purchase a sizeable family home with ample off road parking, detached garage and gardens extending to over two thirds of an acre in the centre of Warminster.

The Old House is offered to the market for the first time in 43 years by the current vendors. Believed to date back to the 1680‘s this superb attached property has been vastly improved and extended in recent times to create the versatile spacious family home you find today.

Arranged over 2 floors the ample accommodation amounts to approximately 2228 sq. ft. and offers both characterful and modern living accommodation. The ground floor living accommodation consists of a welcoming entrance hall that provides access to the principal reception rooms of the original house. There is a delightful formal sitting room with charming log burner, an elegant dining room and well appointed kitchen. The kitchen then leads through to the recently added single storey extension that plays host to a useful utility room, sizeable family room/play room with double doors leading to the rear terrace. There is then a ground floor bedroom with a spacious en-suite bathroom with large walk in shower. This area would make a wonderful self contained annexe or possible B&B potential. On the first floor there are three well proportioned bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and the remaining serviced by a family bathroom. In addition there is a useful cellar.

An internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate all this exceptional home has to offer.

Situation
The market town of Warminster has a good range of shopping and day to day facilities. Bath and Salisbury are both within easy driving distance offering a much wider selection of social and recreational amenities also with excellent shopping centres. This area has become particularly sought after because of the exceptional number of good schools, both state and private, at all levels including Warminster School, Marlborough College, St Mary’s Calne, Port Regis and Dauntsey’s as well as the schools in Salisbury and Bath. Communications are excellent with the A303/M3 providing good access to London and the west country. Mainline rail services run from Warminster to London Waterloo with more regular services from Westbury to London Paddington and from Salisbury to London Waterloo.

Outside
The private gated driveway leads to a walled garden with terrace, where there is ample off road parking for multiple vehicles and providing access to the detached double garage. The terrace pathway links through a lawned area leading to the main entrance to the home. An archway from the walled garden leads you through to the formal rear gardens, a simply stunning tranquil space boasting a high degree of privacy in the heart of the town. Divided into several ‘garden rooms‘ there is a seating area perfectly positioned to enjoy the gardens from. There is also a formal intricate floral garden surrounded by mature lawns. The rear of the garden is also laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees.
