A charming Grade II listed family house on the outskirts of the village, with beautiful rural views.

Description
Constructed of brick and stone under a slate and tiled roof, this charming Grade II listed family house has origins dating back to the mid-18th Century, with later additions. The house sits in a lovely position on the outskirts of the village, within a Conservation Area, with gardens and grounds wrapping around three sides, and the separate paddock on the other side, beyond the village lane. The views across are superb and provide a lovely aspect for the house.

Despite being a substantial house of over 5,500 sq ft, Glebe Farm is also a charming family home, with character and some wonderful period features from which era the house has evolved. The ‘front’ rooms sit within the oldest part of the house, pretty and clad in Wisteria, with a gentrified farmhouse feel. This part of the house has Blue Lias flagstones, Elm floorboards and timber beams (but with decent head heights), an inglenook fireplace and windows with pine shutters. There is a welcoming reception hall, a dual aspect study with fireplace, a WC with adjoining butlers’ pantry and a cosy sitting room with log burner. This links through to a single storey former dairy building, now providing a back hall, with access to a WC, the laundry/boot room and the vaulted games room. There is also access to the outside. The wine cellar is accessed under the stairs from the reception hall.

Forming a wing dating from the mid-19th Century and connected via the reception hall, the kitchen/dining room and drawing room are superb rooms, with high ceilings and sash windows with full length shutters. The kitchen is fitted on two sides with traditional ‘shaker’ style units, a large island, Aga with companion, electric oven and gas hob, integrated fridge, and a double butlers’ sink, overlooking the paddock beyond. The natural light is fantastic. It has ample space for a large dining table and two external doors leading out to the front and beautiful lawned garden to the side. The adjoining drawing room is carpeted, with an open fireplace and French doors to the rear terrace and gardens.

As with many houses of this style, there are two stairwells to the first floor, offering flexibility in the way the house can be lived in. In total there are six bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms. Located in the mid-19th century wing and with commensurate ceiling heights and proportions, the two principal bedrooms each have en suite bathrooms and superb views. There are three further bedrooms on this floor within the original farmhouse; two share a ‘jack and jill’ bathroom, whilst there is a separate shower room as well. One of the bedrooms has a private stair up to the second floor with a private study area. A further set of stairs lead up to the second floor, with a further bedroom and study area.

Outside
With a lovely Wisteria-clad front elevation, Glebe Farm provides a pretty house, surrounded by some beautiful gardens and grounds. There is a large area of gravelled parking at the front of the house, with a spur leading off to the stables beyond.

Large swathes of lawn are bordered by deep herbaceous beds and framed by stone and brick garden walls. A stunning Copper Beech tree provides a real focus point, with a carpet of crocuses below showing in the early spring months. There is a kitchen garden with raised beds, standing alongside the greenhouse.

Beyond this is a small paddock, backing onto the timber-framed stable yard and barn. There are three stables, feedstore and a tack room, with a hay barn and stores opposite.

To the east of the house is a standalone brick and blockwork single storey barn, currently used for garden and machinery stores. Subject to the necessary consents, this could potentially be a useful annexe or ancillary barn to the main house. The barn is surrounded by an area of natural meadow, rich with wild flowers.

Lot 2
On the far side of the village road, a standalone paddock extends to about 6.2 acres, with road access, a pole barn and water troughs.

Location
The village falls within the sought-after Wylye Valley and is overlooked by the hills of Scratchbury and Cotley on the edge of Salisbury Plain. In the opposite direction, are the northern fringes of the beautiful Cranborne Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The nearby villages of Heytesbury and Codford have shops and post offices and the market town of Warminster is only about 3 miles away.

The Roman city of Bath lies 18 miles to the west and the beautiful Cathedral city of Salisbury, 20 miles east, both offering a wide selection of shops, restaurants, arts, cultural and recreational facilities.

Trains from Salisbury to London Waterloo have a journey time of approximately 90 minutes. Less regular trains run from Warminster to London Waterloo (via Salisbury) and have a journey time of approximately 2 hours.

Racing is available at Salisbury Racecourse and Wincanton and golf at Rushmore Park, Warminster and West Wilts Golf Clubs. This area is renowned for its fishing on the River Avon, Test and outlying chalk streams. The A303 provides access to the south west and London via the M3. There is a wide selection of both state and private schools in the area, including Warminster School, Dauntseys, Sherborne, Bruton, Millfield, Salisbury Cathedral School, Chafyn Grove and Godolphin, as well as Bishop Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar Schools.
