High Street, Sutton Veny, Warminster, Wiltshire, BA12

A wonderfully presented five bedroom house with a wealth of period features, a landscaped garden and a double garage. The property offers plenty of potential and is set in the popular village of Sutton Veny.

Manymans Mead is a Grade II listed property, with the oldest part of the house dating back to the mid 15th century. There is an abundance of period features throughout the property including an Inglenook fireplace alongside several other period fireplaces. In addition, there are timber beams understood to be from the 10th century and mullion windows blended with tasteful 20th century additions.

Originally the property was a farmhouse forming part of the Longleat estate and was converted in 1830s into four cottages. Since then, Manymans Mead has been in the same ownership for the past 54 years and under the current ownership has been restored into a large five-bedroom family house spanning in excess of 2,660 sq ft set over two floors.

As you walk through the front door you come across the drawing room to your left and the dinning room to your right which leads onto the study. Following through the ground floor there is a cloakroom, utility room, kitchen and sitting room. Heading upstairs the principal bedroom suite includes a large dressing room and ensuite bathroom, as well as four more double bedrooms, a shower room and a separate loo.

Sutton Veny is a sought after pretty village situated only some 3 miles from the nearby town of Warminster with its mainline railway station and range of shopping facilities. Sutton Veny has the luxury of a well renowned Primary school, Church and village hall. A wonderful community within the village, with an annual bonfire night and the Suttton Veny flower show held one a year attracting many local horticultural enthusiasts.

Also there is easy access to a garage/store in Longbridge Deverill or a post office/general store in Heytesbury.The area has a good selection of independent schools including Warminster, Dauntsey’s, Port Regis and Monkton Combe. Bishops Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar Schools for boys and girls respectively can be found in Salisbury.

Moving outside there is a thoughtfully landscaped garden to the rear of the property alongside a kitchen garden, south west facing terrace, summer house and a couple of storage sheds. In addition, there is a two storey garage attached to the property, where, as we understand, planning permission was granted in 1990 to convert the double garage into a separate domestic dwelling and erect a new double garage to the rear. These works were started in the early 90’s but never completed, and the purchaser will need to investigate what permissions are now needed if they wish to complete the works.
