A Home of History and Potential

Previously part of the renowned White Horse Trekking and Carriage Driving Centre, Cleeve House is a gorgeous family home brimming with character. Excellently maintained, it offers an incredible amount of flexibility and scope for its next owners. The thoughtful balance and layout of the home and grounds make it perfect for families and couples alike, whether you have equestrian interests or not. This is a truly unique find, combining an idyllic Wylye Valley location with excellent local amenities and superb communication links.

The house and grounds have seen significant, thoughtful improvements, including essential updates and the installation of a new sewage treatment plant. This characterful home provides highly versatile, well-balanced accommodation across two floors, while still offering ample potential for further reimagination or development to suit your specific vision.

Spacious and Welcoming Interiors

Step inside and be greeted by a welcoming entrance hall that leads to the principal living areas. To either side, you'll find the elegant formal sitting and dining rooms. The lovely sitting room is a haven of comfort, centered around a focal point feature fireplace and bathed in natural light from a large window. The elegant dining room is perfectly proportioned for entertaining guests and looks over the vast south facing garden space. The ground floor continues through to a charming farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room, complete with ample wall and base units, space for appliances, and a warming, fully functional AGA. Beyond, a generously sized utility/boot room is an absolute must-have for any rural home. Completing the ground floor is a convenient study, a cloakroom, and a large WC with external access.

Comfortable Bedrooms and Annexed Living

Upstairs, you'll find five well-proportioned double bedrooms, each boasting wonderful rural views. A family bathroom serves these rooms. The principal bedroom is a true highlight, featuring built-in storage within the eaves and built-in wardrobes in its en-suite shower room. The secondary bedroom offers access to a large, practical under-eave space with ample headroom.

Adding to the property's incredible versatility is an attached annexe. This self-contained space comprises a modern, open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, a comfortable double bedroom, and a shower room with WC. It's an ideal ancillary annexe, perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or even a holiday let (subject to planning permission), yet it could also be easily integrated back into the main home if desired.

Outside

The home occupies a commanding position on the hillside, situated within circa 4.92 acres of gardens and grounds. The house is approached via a sweeping driveway, allowing parking for several vehicles. There is an oversize oak double garage with useful storage above. The loft space has dormer windows and could easily be converted to a studio space (STPP). There is a workshop and large kennel/storage space, combined with an additional garage that is accessed from a neighbouring track, ideally positioned for conversion to a stable complex due to its location adjoining primary paddocks.

The gardens lie predominantly to the front of the home and boast an excellent degree of privacy. The mature lawn is flanked by shrub borders and interspersed with specimen trees. There are pretty floral borders that wrap around the home, perfectly framing the frontage and creating an inviting entrance and aesthetic. There is a kitchen garden with two green houses, a shed and an area currently used for chickens, with a large chicken house. The paddocks are located to the north and southern sides. They have new fencing and water, with a separate access to the fields so horses and machinery do not have to come across the gardens or driveway to ride out.

Situation

The property sits only a short distance from Codford St. Peter and Codford St. Mary. The villages are situated in the Wylye Valley, renowned for having some of the most attractive and unspoilt countryside in Wiltshire, offering many good walks, riding, shooting, fishing, and other country pursuits. The village provides a wide range of convenient facilities - a good general store, newsagent and post office, garage and filling station which are then enhanced by a superb farm shop, delicatessen, butchery, and café in the nearby village of Boyton. Codford retains its primary school and a toddlers group as well as having a modern doctors surgery and dispensary, veterinary clinic and a number of local liveries. 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, Marlborough College, St Mary’s Calne, Port Regis and Dauntsey’s as well as the schools in Salisbury.
