Detached house for sale in Warminster BA12, 3 Bedroom

This delightful farmhouse, with substantial outbuildings, is located in a secluded rural location, which is also conveniently located within easy reach of the bustling town of Warminster. The property is believed to date from the 1830s and comes complete with 6.9 acres of land. The attractive detached farmhouse itself is in need of some modernisation, but provides three bedrooms
and spacious, flexible accommodation, while the almost 7,000 square feet of outbuildings provide a superb opportunity for further development, subject to the relevant consents.

On the ground floor there is a well-proportioned sitting room, which features a bay window and a double set of French doors opening onto the farmhouse’s gardens.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms including a generous master, in addition to a family bathroom with a separate WC.

The property is located in a secluded position, but is only five-minutes drive from the centre of Warminster, an up-and-coming town with a comprehensive range of shopping facilities. This includes a Waitrose, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries, a library and a golf course. The River Were runs through the centre of the town, which
has a good selection of independent retailers and cultural attractions including the Athenieum Theatre. There is a railway station in the town to Salisbury, Westbury and London Waterloo. The area is also served by excellent road links via the A350 and A303. Surrounded by lovely rolling countryside, this is an ideal setting for rural pursuits such as walking, riding and cycling.

Upon entering the property you are greeted with a large courtyard area, with a lawn at its centre, from which you can access the farmhouse and the many outbuildings. The outbuildings include garages, stables, piggeries, greenhouses and potting sheds, and substantial barns, representing significant commercial opportunities or the potential for development. The farmhouse opens onto extensive gardens, with lawns, seating areas and a large vegetable garden, plus a beautiful pond. There is also an orchard and paddocks, with the land extending in total to 6.9 acres. The land has been specified as of special interest by Wiltshire Wildlife, with no pesticides used on it for at least the past 40 years.
