SWALLOWS AGENCY are delighted to offer this very attractive detached Period cottage set in the middle of its own gardens, in a quintessential English village.
Brixton Deverill is in the heart of the Deverill Valley, part of the West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The River Deverill is a chalk stream that meanders through lovely rolling countryside before becoming the River Wylye at nearby Crockerton. With miles of uninterrupted footpaths and bridleways, the area is ideal for walking and riding as well as other rural pursuits such as cycling and fishing.
There is a petrol station/shop and pub in Longbridge Deverill whilst Mere has good every day shopping. The nearby towns of Bruton, Frome, Gillingham and Warminster provide a choice of shopping and leisure amenities. The A303 and A36 trunk roads are both about 5 miles away providing ready access to London (via the M3), the West Country and motorway network as well as to the South Coast. Mainline railway stations can be found at Gillingham (London Waterloo) and Westbury (London Paddington). There are several excellent private and state schools in the area including Gillingham Secondary School, Bruton, Port Regis, Sherborne, Downside, Dauntseys and Warminster.
The property was formally 2 farm cottages and was then extended to provide a comfortable family home. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall and a large drawing room with an open fireplace and french doors to the garden. There is a dining room and a kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga, a separate cooker and a larder cupboard. There is a separate utility room with two fridges, a microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a housekeeping cupboard with shelves, a large safe and the water softener.
