Detached house for sale in Corsley, Warminster BA12

Accommodation:
Although an unusual combination, the home has a simple format. A Victorian villa sits above the ground floor of the original cottage and has a more recent extension. Both of these can have some separation as both levels also have their own access and patios. It retains elegant aspects from its Victorian origins and pleasantly presented throughout. There are three double bedrooms, one en-suite, four reception rooms, a morning room, a drawing room and a study on the middle floor and a further dining room and kitchen on the lower floor. All floors can have bathrooms. A possibility exists for a fourth bedroom off the half landing.

History:
It is believed present owners are third family residents from the 1700’s. Photographs have remained with the property from earlier times. The cottage is referred to in ‘Life in an English Village’.

Outside

It has a delightful garden overlooked from the front of the house, which faces south and all rooms have a pretty aspect.

A summerhouse has its own setting. To the rear is a triple bay carport and a smaller area of lawn.

Location:
Cley Hill stands guard over nine hamlets, which form the village of Corsley. One of these is Longhedge where Hollybush sits amongst estate farmland and with a forest back drop.

It has a peaceful setting but is not isolated. Footpaths, forest tracks and green lanes leave the hamlet directly.

Cley Hill separates the end of the plain and the beginning of the Mendips and a landmark for travelling home.
