Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Warminster, BA12 :
An impressive Grade II Listed rural village residence ideal for family living with spacious elegant accommodation, extensive grounds and scope for further improvement.
Property
A fine Grade II Listed country home with the principal stucco rendered front portion thought to date back to the early 1800’s whilst the rear may well be considerably older and a single story extension to the side is likely to have been built in the late 20th Century. The Regency part of the house has the well-proportioned, elegant rooms and high ceilings one would associate with this era with the older area having a more rustic, cosier feel with lower beamed ceilings and traditional features. The current owners have undertaken a number of improvements whilst leaving a new owner with the option of updating and refurbishing the property further to their own requirements and offering the potential to create a wonderful, gracious family home.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors with the living space on the ground level including a reception hall, a particularly large drawing room with wooden shuttered French doors with a Southerly outlook over the garden and a study/snug. There is also a dining room, kitchen/breakfast room with an oil fired Aga, garden room that could be used as a family room or studio and various ancillary rooms. There are four bedrooms on the first floor including a master bedroom with a luxuriously appointed en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet and a guest bedroom with an en-suite. There is also a family shower room on this level whilst on the top floor are two further bedrooms.
Outside
The lovely grounds of around 1.17 acres are arranged in two areas with a south facing garden to the front of the house comprising of a stone paved terrace, a level lawn that is thought to have been used for tennis in days gone by and former flower and shrub borders. Beyond the drive is a partly walled orchard/paddock with a treehouse/store. There is a rich variety of mature, fruit and ornamental trees including beech, chestnut, walnut, willow and yew. To the rear is a second drive and a garage.
Situation
Chitterne is a small rural community situated amidst the gently rolling chalk downland at the western edge of Salisbury Plain close to where it meets the lovely Wylye Valley. The village has a free house pub, church, playground and cricket club whilst the nearby larger villages of Codford, Heytesbury and Shrewton have between them good everyday amenities including a choice of shops, post offices, primary schools, petrol stations, doctors’ surgeries and vets. The market town of Warminster is about 8 miles away and has supermarkets, shops, health and leisure facilities and a railway station with services to London, Bristol and Southampton whilst Westbury has direct rail service to London (Paddington). The nearest regional airports are at Bournemouth, Bristol and Southampton.
Chitterne is in a lovely but not isolated setting not far from 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 the motorway network. The village is an excellent base for several highly respected schools in both the state and private sectors including amongst many others; Dauntseys, Warminster School, and Salisbury’s grammar and independent schools. Chitterne is surrounded by lovely wide open stretches of undulating countryside ideal for a variety of rural pursuits including walking, riding, field sports and cycling as well as sailing at Shearwater. Racing is at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton, rugby union at Bath 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, the stately home and safari park at Longleat and the World Heritage prehistoric site at Stonehenge.
