5 bedroom house

A recently refurbished and finely finished Grade II village home with 5 bedrooms, a walled garden and annexe potential. Located in the popular Wiltshire village of Heytesbury with no forward chain.

The Old Surgery, 60 High Street, is a charming 5 bedroom Grade II listed house built in the 18th Century and is presented in beautiful condition. The property was purchased by the current owner some 14 years ago and has undergone an extensive programme of updating, refurbishment and modernisation to create a finely appointed and exceptionally charming village home with versatile accommodation. The annexe makes the property ideal for multigenerational living or providing the opportunity for long term lets or holiday rentals, studio/study/ home working space or occasional family accommodation. Improvements include a new oil fired central heating system with underfloor heating to the kitchen, partial re-wiring and new fuse box, updated and modernised windows including the addition of double glazed windows (Sllimlite conservation approved) to the rear bays and other selected windows, sewage treatment plant, new kitchen and bathrooms, as well as a comprehensive decorate throughout and numerous other remedial works. The annexe was in exceptionally poor condition and was taken back to brickwork then re-wired, underfloor heating added throughout, modern bathroom and an exceptional decorative finish. The creation is a quality period home which retains its character and yet has been brought into the 21st Century.

The accommodation is divided between the main body of the house and the Old Surgery itself which is located on the left side of the gates. On entrance to the main house there is a welcoming hall with stairs to the first floor, a cloakroom with a door leading to the cellar. The finely appointed sitting room has a dual aspect with bay to the rear and doors onto the garden, stylish fireplace with open fire. The dining room has a bay with doors onto the garden and a door to the kitchen. The modern and well presented kitchen has a great selection of attractive base and wall mounted units, a double Neff oven, induction hob, dishwasher, butlers sink set in a stone worktop. There was previously a lean-to at the rear of the kitchen which was taken down and then re-built to create a wonderful breakfast area looking onto the garden. There is further storage around a Fisher Pakel fridge/freezer and a door leading through to a small utility area and in turn to the covered parking. On the first floor there are three bedrooms, all of them doubles, the main bedroom is particularly spacious and has a good selection of wardrobes. The family bathroom has a panelled bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin. From the landing there are stairs up to the second floor which has two loft rooms used for storage.

The annexe can be accessed either from the High Street itself (the front door) or from a number of doors leading from the covered parking area and the garden. On entrance there is a utility/boot room which could be used as a kitchen if required. There is a central hall leading to a single bedroom and the attractive bathroom with WC and wash hand basin. There is a large reception room with engineered oak flooring, French doors leading onto the garden and a further double bedroom, again with oak flooring and double doors onto the garden.
The rear windows from the main body of the house and the annexe all point conveniently onto the wonderful south facing garden which has been fully landscaped and is looking picture perfect. In all a quite exceptional property which will suit a wide range of buyers and should be viewed to appreciate its wealth of charm and its wonderful finish.

The property is pleasantly situated in the well regarded and highly sought after Wylye village of Heytesbury where there is a thriving community and facilities which include a Post Office, primary school, church and two popular pubs (The Angel and the Red Lion).
