Downside House, Beech Grove, Warminster

THE PROPERTY

is a delightful 3-storey home which has attractive stone and brick elevations under a slate roof and forms the West wing of Downside House a Gothic Victorian property which was imaginatively sub-divided into 4 in circa 2000. The quirky yet tastefully decorated lofty accommodation is arranged over three levels and boasts a light and airy Kitchen together with Upvc double glazing and Gas-fired central heating to radiators. The property would ideally suit a professional couple working from home or someone in retirement for whom living space is more important than a Garden. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly individual home hence the Agents strongly recommend an early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.
