About this property

A charming Grade II Listed village house with four bedrooms and versatile accommodation now in need of refurbishment. Standing in a level third of an acre there is a double garage and ample parking.

Situated in the heart of the village and screened behind a tall beech hedge, this attractive Grade II Listed detached house is arranged over two floors and constructed of stone and render beneath a traditional pan-tiled roof. The house offers well-proportioned and flexible accommodation, including four bedrooms together with two smaller rooms, ideal for a study and dressing room. The ground floor provides a natural flow of reception spaces, with the kitchen leading through to the sitting room and dining room. Adjacent to the kitchen, which features an Aga and space for a dining table, is a ‘back-kitchen’/utility. This flow creates an inviting layout well suited to both family life and entertaining, with a dining room including an impressive Inglenook fireplace and a separate sitting room. The drawing room is a particularly charming room, featuring sash windows, a fireplace and direct access to the garden. A separate study provides additional space for day-to-day living or working from home.

Outside
The Grange is approached via a gravel driveway bordered by level lawns interspersed with mature shrubs and trees, leading to a generous parking area and a detached double garage. A path runs along the handsome front façade, overlooking a level lawn with a mature specimen tree underplanted with seasonal flowers. The garden is enclosed by clipped hedging and features a deep herbaceous border together with a paved area. The pathway continues around the side of the house to the rear garden, which is arranged over two gentle levels and enclosed by a stone wall. Currently laid to lawn, the garden could easily be returned to the vegetable and flower garden it once was. In all, the splendid grounds extend to approximately one-third of an acre.

Situation
The Grange is located in the popular village of Upton Scudamore. The village itself offers a parish church and a well-regarded pub, The Angel Inn, part of the La Campagna group of Italian restaurants. A wider range of amenities can be found in the nearby town of Warminster, approximately two miles away, which provides a variety of independent shops, a Waitrose supermarket and a railway station. The elegant city of Bath is also within easy reach and offers an exceptional range of historic architecture, museums and galleries, as well as award-winning restaurants and a vibrant cultural and sporting scene. For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking and cycling. From the property it is possible to cycle directly onto Salisbury Plain, which offers extensive gravel trails and a popular 50km circular route. The area is particularly sought-after due to its excellent choice of schools, both state and private, at all levels. Notable schools include Warminster School and Dauntsey’s, together with several highly regarded schools in Bath. Communications are excellent, with the A303 and M3 providing convenient road access to London and the West Country. Rail services are available from Westbury (approximately 3 miles away), offering a mainline service to London Paddington in around 1 hour 17 minutes, and from Warminster, with services to London Waterloo taking approximately 1 hour 55 minutes.
