Full Description: Conveniently situated on the edge of this sought after town, yet near to wonderful countryside, walks and ancient hill forts, this spacious Grade II listed home stands well within its grounds. Retaining a tremendous degree of charm and character, the property has had only eleven owners since the commencement of Parish records in 1800. The current vendors have lived in the house for 25 years.

The elegant and impeccably presented accommodation includes two classical reception rooms each with working fireplaces and large sash windows, complete with shutters, that flood the rooms with natural light. The generous sized kitchen is the heart of the home and is comprehensively appointed with stylish cabinetry under swathes of granite worksurfaces, a walk-in larder, quality integrated appliances, a mains gas Aga and a large central island. There is ample room for an everyday kitchen table seating up to 8. During the winter the Aga heats the kitchen and provides a constant flow of hot water throughout the house. Off the kitchen is a comfortable "snug" room that opens out to the stunning walled courtyard. To the rear is the separate utility/boot room, a must for any semi-rural home.

The first floor boasts three large double bedrooms and a beautiful family bathroom, all with sash windows that again allow an abundance of natural light to flood in. The second floor has a further 2 bedrooms and a shelved landing currently used as a library. The three north facing bedrooms have wonderful views of the garden and surrounding farmland. There is a further shower room off the first floor flight of stairs.OutsideWith established wisteria stretching across its distinguished front door facade, this period property instantly captures your imagination. Encompassing the property, a heavenly totally walled garden adds to the property’s charm. The high walls engender a fantastic degree of privacy. The expansive mature lawns are flanked by abundant, impeccably planted structured beds and borders. Clipped shrubs and flowerbeds lend a classic English country garden feel. There is a large modern greenhouse with further outbuildings, a gardener’s loo, and productive kitchen garden, ideal for those looking to be self-sustainable.

A detached 1821 stable block (now used as a workshop/garden shed) with double garaging, stands in the old stable yard which also provides off-road parking for several vehicles.SituationThe Cotes is only a short distance from the centre of the highly regarded Wiltshire town of Warminster.
