French Horn, Codford, Warminster £350,000

THE PROPERTY

is a charming beautifully presented Grade II listed thatched period cottage, thought to date from circa 1700, which has had an interesting history having served as the French Horn Inn during the 19th Century. The cottage has attractive chequered chalk and flint elevations with leaded light windows all under a thatched roof and provides comfortable, well laid out living accommodation which benefits from Electric heating. This is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a period home in this popular Wylye Valley village, hence the Agents strongly recommend an early accompanied internal inspection in order to avoid disappointment.

LOCATION
