About
Full of charm and character this quirky Detached early Victorian home provides spacious accommodation with the bonus of a beautiful Cottage garden.
Entrance Hall, Charming Sitting Room with woodburner, Living Room, Music Room, Spacious Kitchen/Diner, Cloakroom, First Floor Landing, 4 Bedrooms, Family Bathroom & Shower Room, Garage & Parking and Beautiful Cottage-style Garden, Gas-fired Central Heating to radiators & Upvc Sealed Unit Double Glazing.
THE PROPERTY is a spacious detached early-Victorian cottage which has colourwashed Wisteria-clad stone and rendered elevations under a tiled roof and benefits from Gas-fired central heating to radiators together with cottage-style Upvc sealed-unit double glazing installed in 2022.
Wits' End is on the market for the first time in over 30 years during which time the owners have carried a scheme of sympathetic restoration including a large extension however they have reluctantly decided now is the time to downsize.
The cottage has the added bonus of a delightful easily-managed cottage-style organic Rear Garden.
This would be a great choice for a family seeking a quirky period home, hence the Agents strongly advise an early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.
LOCATION Wits' End occupies a pleasant elevated setting above road level, fronted by a grassy bank and is approached via a short flight of steps from Pound Street on the Western fringes of Warminster, not far from the extensive woodlands of the Longleat Estate making this an ideal spot for keen ramblers, dog walkers and cyclists alike.

Other amenities include a theatre and library, clinics and hospital, a beautiful town centre park and a railway station.
