Portway, Warminster £495,000

THE PROPERTY

is an attractive Grade II listed 3-storey end of terrace townhouse, which records indicates dates from the early/mid 19th century probably circa 1840, and has attractive Wisteria clad mellow brick elevations with Ashlar stone door and window openings with working sash windows all under a tiled roof. During early 2001 the terrace suffered a devastating fire following which the property benefitted from a comprehensive yet sympathetic scheme of restoration, preserving the surviving original features, including Elm floorboarding and as a result the property had a completely new roof, new ceilings and a new heating system and wiring. Ideal for family occupation this is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious period home with four double bedrooms and two Bathrooms, close to the town centre available without an associated sale chain hence the Agents strongly recommend an early inspection in order to avoid disappointment.
