High Street, Heytesbury, Warminster £400,000

THE PROPERTY

is a charming detached cottage believed to date from circa 1765 which has colourwashed rendered elevations whilst the rear features attractive random stonework all under a tiled roof and benefits from Upvc sealed-unit double glazing together with Oil-fired central heating to radiators. The accommodation has a number of original features including exposed timberwork and attractive fireplaces creating a delightful blend of old and contemporary. Available with no associated sale chain, this is a cottage which would equally suit someone seeking an easily run home for retirement or family occupation in a friendly and active village where properties are seldom available for sale. Cottages of this type are proving increasingly scarce hence the Agents strongly recommend early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.

LOCATION

fronting the High Street in the historic village of Heytesbury immediately opposite the attractive 12th century St Peter’s & St Paul’s Collegiate Church. Just moments on foot from the village Post Office/Stores and the popular Heytesbury Primary School and Pre-School, whilst a focal point of many village activities is the nearby Red Lion Inn whilst we understand the Angel Inn will shortly re-open following refurbishment. The village is renowned for its links with the writer and poet Siegfried Sassoon who made Heytesbury House his home until his death in 1967. The Wylye Valley takes its name from the River Wylye which flows through the y watermeadows South of the village whilst the surrounding country offers many unspoilt rural walks. The nearby town of Warminster has a bustling centre with excellent shopping facilities - 3 supermarkets including a Waitrose together with a host of independent shops and eateries and a wide range of other amenities which include a theatre and library, hospital and clinics, schooling and a railway station. Rail users enjoy regular services to Salisbury and direct to London Waterloo, and to Bath with a direct line to South Wales.
