Silver Street, Warminster, BA12

A rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a fine example of a classical Grade II listed Georgian townhouse conveniently situated within Warminster town centre accompanied by mature gardens, private driveway, garaging and a detached cottage with proven income potential.

This handsome home has been comprehensively updated and extended in recent times by the current vendors providing beautifully presented, versatile accommodation, ideally suited to modern family living. The home’s expansive accommodation is presented in excellent order throughout and boasts a wealth of glorious original features. Great attention has been paid to retaining and best promoting the many hallmarks of a fine Georgian residence.

The extensive accommodation amounts to approximately 3128 sq. ft. (including garaging) and is arranged over two floors. Upon entering the home the scale and quality is immediately apparent. The welcoming entrance hall boasts a beautiful period stairway and gives way to the generously proportioned principal reception rooms with high ceilings and large sash windows that flood the rooms with natural light. The dining room is to the front and is deeply impressive with a classical fireplace. Beyond, the kitchen/breakfast/family room has been extended creating a light and airy ‘heart of the home’ and has a door opening out to the rear terrace. The refurbished kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively appointed with ample wall and base units under attractive work surfaces and a gas AGA. There is ample space for an everyday dining area and seating area. The sitting room is to the rear and offers a cosier space with a wonderful open fireplace. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a substantial utility/boot room and a cloakroom. The cellar below is superb, offering excellent storage space with scope for further conversion (subject to usual permissions).

On the first floor, there are four generous double bedrooms and a smaller bedroom/study. The principal bedroom has a modern en-suite bathroom with the remaining rooms being serviced by a large family shower room. The bedrooms are presented in excellent decorative order and are flooded with natural light from the large sash windows.

The Cottage

In addition, the home has a charming, detached, two-bed cottage, ideal for multi-generational living, use as an Air BnB, holiday let or standard short hold tenancy. The accommodation comprises a sitting room with an open fireplace, well-appointed kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. q

Outside

The property is located close to the heart of the town centre with a plot extending to circa 0.3 of an acre. The parking and garaging is approached via Ash Walk, to the rear of the home. The private driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and gives access to the three bay detached garage, the end of which is open fronted and used for additional parking and a log store/workshop, a true rarity for a town centre home.

The garden to the rear is a glorious space in the heart of the town and has been beautifully landscaped to provide many usable areas. Adjoining the home there is a paved terrace, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. Steps then lead up to the garden beyond. The level garden is laid to lawn with contoured, abundant floral beds and borders and interspersed with specimen trees. The home enjoys a great degree of privacy behind walled and fenced boundaries with plenty of areas to follow the sun.

Situation

The market town of Warminster has a good range of shopping and day-to-day facilities. Bath and Salisbury are both within easy driving distance offering a much wider selection of social and recreational amenities also with excellent shopping centres. 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. Communications are excellent with the A303/M3 providing good access to London and the west country. Mainline rail services run from Warminster to London Waterloo with more regular services from Westbury to London Paddington and from Salisbury to London Waterloo.
