Historic Country House With Grass Tennis Court - Ideal For Entertaining, Nr Devizes

Wiltshire. Sleeps up to 12

The Grange is an impressive 17th century country house set within 2 acres of well maintained gardens with far reaching views towards Salisbury Plain. It is situated in the heart of Wiltshire, just outside the historic market town of Devizes. The world famous heritage sites of Stonehenge, Avebury and Silbury Hill are within 20 mins drive. Bath, Salisbury and Longleat are half an hour away. Oxford and the Cotswolds are easy day trips.

The village of Worton has an attractive pub, and an extensive network of footpaths. There are trout fishing lakes within 10 mins walk. There is also horse riding at the nearby village of Lavington.

We have furnished the Grange traditionally yet with all the modern conveniences.
The house was built in the 1640s, with later additions at the end of the 19th century. Prince Rupert is rumoured to have stayed during the Civil War and a helmet from that period was found in the garden a few years ago.

The three storey house is great for entertaining having a 30ft double reception room with two efficient wood-burners and separate dining room with an open fireplace that can seat at least 12. The kitchen/breakfast room comes with a traditional 4 door Aga. Upstairs there are 6 spacious double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a super king size bed and luxurious bathroom with twin sinks, bath and walk-in power shower. Bedroom 2 has a king size bed and ensuite shower room, bedroom 3 has twin beds and bedrooms 4 and 5 in the attic have queen size beds and a bathroom with twin sinks, bath with shower attachment, bedroom 6 is a double bedroom and also has its own bathroom.

The gardens are a particular feature with croquet lawn, walled garden featuring pear and apple trees with a small avenue of vines along with both summer and winter raspberry bushes. There is a GRASS TENNIS COURT to the front of the house. To the side there are two goldfish ponds set within checkerboard cobbles. On the back lawn (suitable for badminton) there is also an open sided games room/barn with table tennis.
