French Horn, Codford, Warminster £335,000

THE PROPERTY

is a charming 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. Now in need of further updating 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

Nicely tucked away just off the village High Street, within easy reach of all amenities of Codford, a friendly and active rural community in the beautiful Wylye Valley, bypassed by the A36 during the early 1990’s and as a consequence now attracting little by way of through traffic although served by regular 'buses to Warminster and Salisbury. Codford has a highly regarded Primary School, 2 Churches - St Peter’s and St Mary’s, a doctor’s clinic and a Filling Station which also hosts a Budgens convenience store, whilst the village also boasts a popular theatre - The Woolstore. Warminster 7 miles to the West is readily accessible and provides good shopping facilities - including a Waitrose store, schooling and wide range of other amenities whilst Salisbury to the East is also within easy reach with a wide range of shopping and cultural facilities. London is commutable by rail via Salisbury/Waterloo & Warminster/Westbury/Paddington, and by road via the A303/M3 whilst the various Salisbury Plain military bases are all within a comfortable driving distance.
