3 bed terraced house for sale

Stockton, Nr Warminster BA12

An attractive recently thatched cottage for refurbishment & with planning consent to extend situated in a pretty rural village surrounded by the beautiful Wylye Valley countryside

Property
An attractive double fronted, mid-terraced former estate worker’s cottage with white rendered external elevations under a newly thatched roof (June 2024) and facing Southwestwards over open meadow land. Originally of much older origin, the property was rebuilt in 1962 and now requires comprehensive updating and modernising throughout making it an ideal refurbishment project.
The present accommodation comprises a sitting room with a fire, dining room with a solid fuel range, kitchen, rear hall and cloakroom on the ground floor with three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first. Planning consent was granted 20th June 2024 (pl/2024/03932) to remodel the ground floor and build a single storey extension that would provide a spacious kitchen/dining room, utility/boot room and a shower room.

Outside
A shared passageway leads to a wooden gate accessing the good-sized, level rear garden backing onto woodland with an outbuilding/store. The garden has been cleared so as to present a ‘blank canvas’ to landscape and stock to a new owner’s design and preference.

Situation
