Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Warminster, BA12 :

Butterfly Cottage is a delightful detached property of immense character and charm that has been significantly improved and updated both internally and externally by the current owners. Originally a pair of semi-detached cottages, one of dressed limestone dating back to the early 18th Century, the other of rubble stone with brick dressings dating back to the early 19th century, the building is Grade II listed; the cottages have been sympathetically extended a number of times during the 20th Century and now provide versatile and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. The Ground Floor flows effortlessly and has many stunning rooms and features. The welcoming Entrance Hall has a rustic tiled floor with the principal reception rooms accessed from it. All Ground Floor rooms have a double-aspect with lovely views across the private gardens and surrounding farmland with direct access out to the garden creating a wonderful, open quality to the arrangement: the spacious, double-aspect Sitting Room is a beautiful room with a delightful inglenook fireplace; the versatile Garden Room is accessed through the Sitting Room with French doors leading onto the west terrace; the generous Dining Room has a lovely log burner and leads through to the Kitchen/Breakfast Room with a fabulous antique Aga. To the front of the cottage a downstairs shower room and Study/ Bedroom completes the extensive Ground Floor accommodation. The First Floor accommodation is accessed via the staircase and arranged around the open galleried landing. Both the Master Bedroom and Bedroom 2 have generous proportions and offer multiple-aspect views across the gardens and farmland beyond; there are a further two bedrooms of good proportions. There are two bathrooms that have been thoughtfully updated and both offer roll top baths, ideal for a large family.

This substantial cottage has a wealth of versatile accommodation whilst still offering scope to further personalise the spaces.

Situation
Butterfly Cottage is situated in the attractive village of Corton in the enviable Wylye Valley renowned for its picturesque countryside and ideal for walks and riding and located within An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Nearby Codford provides further local amenities including a primary school, doctor's surgery, two churches, village shop, post office and garage. About 8 miles to the west you will find the small market town of Warminster offering further everyday facilities, whilst the cathedral city of Salisbury is 13 miles to the south east and has a wide range of shopping, social and leisure facilities.

The A36 provides swift access to the west and the A303 is about 2.5 miles away linking directly with the M3 to London. Mainline rail services are available from Salisbury to Waterloo and from
Westbury to Paddington whilst Warminster and Grately also have a main line railway station for London Waterloo.

The area is also well known for its good
schooling in both the public and private sector; Warminster School, Dauntseys, Marlborough and St Mary's Shaftesbury are nearby, as well as the notable independent and grammar schools
in Bath and Salisbury.

Outside

The principal aspect is towards the South across surrounding fields to the hills beyond. The established mature gardens lie on three sides of the cottage, the majority being laid to lawn with hedged boundaries interspersed with specimen and fruit trees. Situated to the side of the cottage is the oak-clad coach house, which has been recently constructed and incorporates a vast and flexible studio space at first floor level with large windows providing a wealth of light and glorious views across the neighbouring pasture land.
