Description

An outstanding opportunity to purchase one of Warminster’s hidden historic residences set in substantial established grounds. The home is constructed of natural stone and brick elevations under a tiled roof.

This impressive period home is believed to date back to the 1700’s. Various additions were added in the 1920’s.

We are informed that the home was originally used as a coaching inn, as back in the day, some towns used to 'close' after dark, and travellers would have to stop over before resuming their journeys to and from London.

It has also been confirmed by way of old newspaper archives, that in the 1800s the house was used as a girls boarding school.

The 'whole' original house, comprising 41, 43, 45 and 39 across the courtyard was the family home of the 6th marquess of bath while he held the honorary title of Viscount Weymouth.

It seems highly likely that No. 41 was the nursery wing, and that the addition of the kitchen and the rooms above were carried out by the then Viscount Weymouth around the 1920s.

The accommodation in brief comprises of entrance hall, four reception rooms, kitchen, utility room, cloakroom, first floor landing, four bedrooms, family bathroom.

Outside

A shared private driveway gives access to the parking and single garage and workshop. The home has substantial established level grounds with tress and hedging offering a high degree of privacy. Within the grounds are remains of substantial former part brick and wood greenhouse that could be restored back to former glory.

Garage - Single garage with up and over door. (Residue of 999 year lease)

Parking - Private resident parking

Completion has been set for Thursday 10th July 2025 or earlier by arrangement

If you are successful in purchasing more than one lot, we will contact you following the auction to take subsequent payments for additional lots bought.
