Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Warminster, BA12 :
A most attractive home with adaptable & elegant accommodation forming part of a renovated historic Listed Georgian country mansion situated in a glorious parkland setting.
Property
This special home is an attached two story property forming part of a wing to Heytesbury House and is faced in dressed stone on what originally would have been the South facing ‘front’ of the Grade II Listed Georgian mansion whilst the rear, courtyard side has brick external elevations under a slate tiled roof. Redeveloped in the 1990’s, the property has been fitted to a particularly high standard and tastefully decorated making it an elegant and comfortable home in a lovely parkland setting which would be ideal for use either as a primary residence or weekend retreat with its beautifully presented accommodation and accessible yet rural location.
The ground floor comprises of a welcoming reception hall, a lovely double aspect sitting room with a fireplace and cast iron wood burning stove, dining room, study, a kitchen/breakfast room with an extensive range of wooden fronted units, butler style sink and Rangemaster electric cooker and a cloakroom. Upstairs on the first floor is a galleried landing with access to the loft, a master bedroom suite with a bathroom and a large dressing room with fitted cupboards that could be utilised as a separate 4th bedroom, two further bedrooms (both with cupboards) and a family bathroom.
Outside
To the back of the house is a prettily landscaped garden bordered by beech hedging with a good-sized, south facing paved terrace ideal for al-fresco dining and leading to the lawn with flower and shrub borders. A gate provides access to the wonderful shared parkland extending to around 6 acres with well-kept lawns and majestic mature trees. To front of The Courtyard is a private graveled parking area and in a nearby block is a garage.
Situation
Heytesbury Park is a small, exclusive community of homes formed from a carefully renovated and converted historic Grade II* Listed Georgian country house and its associated buildings. Heytesbury House is thought to have been built in 1782, possibly to a design by James Wyatt, on the site of an earlier mansion once owned by Lord Hungerford until his arrest by Henry VIII in 1540. It is also reputed to have associations with Elizabeth Woodville, ‘The White Queen’. In more recent times, it was the home for many years of the famous war poet Siegfried Sassoon. Much care has been taken to retain and indeed, enhance the fine architectural features of the original buildings and the complimentary design of the newer homes whilst providing comfortable living for the discerning country lover.
The pretty riverside village of Heytesbury is situated in the Wylye Valley part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is famous for its fly fishing and delightful scenery. Heytesbury has a post office/shop, primary school and two inns including the excellent dining pub; The Angel. The nearby market town of Warminster has supermarkets, shops, health and leisure facilities and a railway station with services to London, Bristol and Southampton.
Heytesbury Park is in a lovely but not isolated setting just off the A36 giving convenient access to the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury and Roman city of Bath with the A303 close by for London, the West Country and motorway network. There are regional airports at Bournemouth and Bristol. This is an excellent base for several highly respected schools in both the state and private sectors and is surrounded by lovely undulating countryside ideal for a variety of rural pursuits including walking, riding and cycling as well as sailing at Shearwater. Racing is at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton with golf at Tollard Royal, Warminster and Salisbury. There are several famous visitor attractions in the area such as the National Trust gardens at Stourhead, Longleat stately home and safari park and the World Heritage site of Stonehenge.
Agents’ Note: There is an annual maintenance charge of £1,188.24 (2016) for the cost of the upkeep of the communal areas, and sewage treatment plant. The property is Freehold.
