Shrewton Road, Chitterne, Warminster £250,000

THE PROPERTY

is a well presented extended mid-Victorian end of terrace cottage believed to date from circa 1860 which has coloured washed cob elevations at the front - the original cottage whilst the extension which was completed in 1993 has rendered elevations, all under a slate tiled roof. The cottage benefits from a combination of double and triple glazing together with an Oil-fired central heating to radiators. The Ground Floor accommodation is deceptively spacious and boasts an 18’ Sitting Room with a woodburner together with a 15’7” fitted Kitchen. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a delightful period cottage in this downland village where homes are seldom for sale hence the Agents strongly recommend an early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.

LOCATION

The small and fairly remote downland village of Chitterne is surrounded by the wide-open spaces of the Salisbury Plain and should appeal to keen cyclists and ramblers alike whilst the village has the Chitterne Brook, a winterbourne which flows through village before becoming a tributory of the River Wylye at Codford. The focus of life centres on the Church and village hall, although in the nearby villages of Tilshead and Codford there are excellent primary schools both rated Good by Ofsted, whilst Codford has a filling station hosting a Budgen’s village store and off-licence, a Clinic, Veterinarian practice and the Woolstore Village Theatre. The town of Warminster about 7 miles 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. Besides Warminster, Salisbury, Amesbury and Andover are all very commutable hence the village has in the past proved popular with military personnel based at one of the many Salisbury Plain military bases in the area. London is commutable via the A303/M3 whilst Bristol, Bournemouth and Southampton airports are each just over an hour by road.
