Description
A truly rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial home, idyllically positioned within 2 acres of gardens and grounds, in the heart of the sought after village of Crockerton.
The house has been completely refurbished and transformed in the last few years whilst the grounds have been significantly improved by the current owners, offering highly versatile, well-balanced accommodation set over two floors. The home has been fitted with underfloor heating throughout the ground and first floors as well as the annexe. Eco-credentials include solar panels with battery storage and an air source heat pump.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall that gives way to the principal living areas. There is an elegant, dual aspect living room with a feature, built-in log burner and bi-folding doors that open onto a superb terrace which has panoramic views across the gardens and grounds. Adjacent is the newly appointed, dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room which offers an array of wall and base units along with quality, integrated appliances under marble surfaces. There is a fully fitted pantry at one end. From the hallway, there is a lovely snug, a utility/laundry room with a large dog shower and a plant room where the vendors uncovered a well, which they have now glazed over to create an interesting talking point. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a cloakroom.
On the first floor there is a sumptuous principal bedroom with a dressing room and an en-suite shower room as well as a Juliet balcony with elevated views over the gardens and grounds. There are then two further bedrooms, a fourth bedroom/study and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Annexe
Above the double garage, and accessed separately from the main house, is a recently completed self-contained annexe which could have a number of uses, be that for family members or as income generation. There is a large kitchen/living/dining room as well as two bedrooms and a luxury shower room.
Outside
The home is discreetly nestled into its grounds and offers an incredibly high level of privacy, situated within 2 acres of gardens and grounds. The house is approached via an automated gate, with intercom, that leads to the long driveway, allowing parking for multiple vehicles and access to the double garage.
The formal gardens wrap around three sides of the home and are mainly laid to lawn with decorative and well stocked shrub borders. To the side of the home is a wonderful, paved terrace that is accessed from the living room, the ideal spot for entertaining and al-fresco dining. The terrace is edged by a tiered, raised bed overflowing with colourful shrubs and flowers.
The paddock is circa 1.2 acres with hedged and fenced boundaries with a stream on the southern boundary.
Situation
The property is located just a short walk from Shearwater Lake, in the much sought after village of Crockerton which lies adjacent to Longleat Estate. The locality has excellent riding over numerous bridle paths (permit available from Longleat Estate). Crockerton comprises a lovely village community with an upmarket pub, Bath Arms, offering great dining, an excellent village primary school and is a five minute walk from Lakeside Garden Centre and Shearwater Crossfit Gym.
Warminster offers a wide range of both shopping and leisure facilities to include library, sports centre, swimming pool, churches, doctors and dentists surgeries, hospital and post office. Nearby attractions include Longleat House and Safari Park, where the home qualifies for local discounted season tickets, Shearwater Lake, Stourhead and the Salisbury Plain.
Warminster also benefits from a main line railway station to London Paddington and Waterloo, whilst the nearby A303 provides excellent road links to London to the east and Exeter to the west.
This area has become particularly sought-after because of the exceptional number of good schools, both state and private, at all levels including Warminster School, St Mary's Calne, Port Regis, Monkton Combe and Dauntseys as well as the schools in Salisbury and Bath such as The Royal High School and Prior Park.
