THE PROPERTY
is a charming Grade II listed mid-Victorian cottage which has attractive Ashlar Bath stone façade with rear elevations of brick all under a tiled roof and was, we understand, built in 1846 as the Caretaker's Cottage for the adjacent Minster School. After falling into disrepair the property was acquired in 1990 by the Warminster Preservation Trust and renovated as part of their ongoing commitment to the sympathetic restoration of period properties in the town and, as a result, was awarded a Blue Plaque. Interestingly the Trust created a pictorial record as works progressed and this is frequently exhibited to highlight their activities. In the meantime the property has changed hands a number of times, and the latest owners have recently carried out further restoration to a very high standard - the cottage now benefits from Gas-fired central heating, double glazed mullion windows and a refurbished Bathroom together with a well-appointed Kitchen whilst the accommodation is tastefully decorated to reflect its quirky character. This is a delightful property complemented by a private Courtyard Garden and would suit someone seeking a period home close to all amenities. Properties of this nature are proving scarce and number 7 really must be viewed in order to be fully appreciated, hence the Agents strongly recommend an early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.
LOCATION
the Vicarage Street Conservation Area is on the Western side of town, not far from the historic Obelisk at the junction of Vicarage Street, Church Street and Silver Street, the site of the original market cross and believed to have been the original centre of Warminster during the Middle Ages. This part of the town includes many fine properties. Some from the 17th Century were homes of wealthy merchants, whilst others like number 7 are slightly later. Vicarage Street is conveniently within easy level walking distance of the town centre with excellent shopping facilities - 3 supermarkets including a Waitrose store and a host of independent traders together with a wide range of other amenities which include a theatre and library, hospital and clinics and a rail station. Besides the adjacent Minster Primary School, the Warminster co-educational boarding and day Public School is also close by. The town is well served by local buses whilst rail users enjoy regular services to Salisbury and then direct to London Waterloo, and to Bath with a direct line on to South Wales. The other main centres in the area include Frome, Trowbridge, Westbury, Bath and Salisbury which are all within a comfortable driving distance as are the various Salisbury Plain military bases whilst the A36, A350 and A303 trunk routes provide swift access throughout the West Country and further afield to London via the A303/M3. Bristol, Bournemouth and Southampton Airports are each just over an hour by car.
