Shrewton Road, Chitterne, Warminster £360,000

THE PROPERTY

is a charming detached mid-Victorian cottage believed to date from circa 1860 which has attractive colour-wash rendered elevations under a slate roof and was originally two cottages since combined. During the present owners occupancy the cottage has benefitted from an array of improvements including the installation of Upvc double glazing together with an Air Source Heat pump heating system together with roof-mounted Photo Voltaic panels which generate free day-time Electricity ensuring the property offers a highly efficient low carbon renewable alternative to traditional high carbon systems. The living accommodation is unexpectedly spacious and boasts two reception rooms both with a woodburner making this is a great opportunity to acquire a delightful well-appointed eco-friendly home in a Downland village where cottages are seldom available 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 ramblers and cyclists alike whilst the Chitterne Brook, a winterbourne, flows through the village before becoming a tributory of the River Wylye at Codford. The focus of life centres on the Church and village hall, although we understand the Kings Head is set to re-open shortly as a community-run pub following refurbishment. Chitterne also has large playing field on which cricket and football are played and not far from Keepers Cottage are community allotments operated by the Parish Council. The nearby villages of Tilshead and Codford each have excellent primary schools both rated Good by Ofsted, whilst Codford also has a filling station hosting a Budgen’s village store and off-licence, a Clinic, Veterinarian practice and the Woolstore Village Theatre. Warminster about 7 miles distant with its bustling town centre offers excellent shopping facilities - 3 supermarkets including a Waitrose store 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.
