17 Heytesbury Park

A, superb, executive home located within the former walled, kitchen garden of Heytesbury House.

Built in 1999, 17 Heytesbury Park is one of four linked detached houses set in a quadrant within the former walled kitchen gardens of Heytesbury House which was owned by First World War poet and writer Siegfried Sassoon until his death in 1967. Heytesbury House itself is set in about 8 acres of private parkland with rights of access to all residents over the communal driveways.

17 Heytesbury Park offers light and bright accommodation in generous proportions. The Vendors have meticulously modernised and re-designed much of the house by installing high quality kitchen, bathrooms and LED lighting. The entrance hall features wood flooring and gives access to the dual aspect drawing room with feature LPG fire set in a stone surround. The stunning kitchen includes an excellent range of floor and wall units with quartz worktops and integrated appliances. The dining area is separated by double glass doors and will accommodate a large dining table and features French doors opening onto the terrace. The utility houses a gas (LPG) boiler and space for a washing machine and dryer. The office includes built in book shelves and cupboards. A fabulous Mahogany and glass staircase leads to the first floor. The master bedroom is dual aspect and offers extensive views over countryside and includes fitted wardrobes and en-suite with a fabulous walk through Porcelanosa shower. Three further, double bedrooms all feature fitted wardrobes and views over the garden and the contemporary family bathroom comprises a large ‘egg’ bath and separate shower.

SITUATION
Heytesbury Park is located on the edge of Heytesbury village offering a range of useful amenities including a church, shop/post office, primary school, two public houses, cricket and football clubs and is on the Salisbury-Warminster-Bath bus route. Nearby Codford provides a surgery/dispensary, small supermarket and other community facilities. A short drive to Warminster provides most everyday needs, including Waitrose, with Bath, Salisbury and Bristol within easy driving/train distance, offering a range of retail, leisure and cultural facilities. There are many well-regarded state and private primary and secondary schools within a short drive. There are fast road links to the A303 approximately 5 miles away, with train services from Warminster and Salisbury (Waterloo) and Westbury (Paddington). The immediate area provides many opportunities for rural walking, riding, cycling and fishing, including alongside the River Wylye and access to Salisbury Plain from the end of the lane. Local places of interest include Longleat, Stourhead and Stonehenge.

OUTSIDE
The house is approached via a tree lined avenue on to the shared driveway. There is parking for three vehicles in front of the double garage. To the rear of the garage is a multi-purpose studio annex fitted with a kitchenette with double doors onto the terrace. The rear gardens are extremely well maintained and a real asset as they are very private and enclosed by the original brick wall. An area of lawn is used as a croquet lawn with box hedging. The remaining garden is predominantly lawn with borders well stocked with roses, mature shrubs and bushes.
