This wonderfully converted three-storey watermill, with lots of character and charm, is located in the rural setting of Westbury. It is the perfect escape for families and friends to create lasting memories together. Walkers and cyclists can delight in a variety of picturesque scenic trails. Pack a picnic and head up to the Westbury White Horse (3 miles) which offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. This is a perfect base for exploring some of the most popular and sought-after towns within the area. Head north and peruse the shops and streets of Bradford-on-Avon (6.5 miles), Bath (15 miles) and the wonderful village of Lacock (11 miles) which is featured in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. More days out can be had in Frome (6 miles), Longleat (10 miles) and Stonehenge (23 miles), or you can embrace an exciting adventure on the Salisbury Plain Safari (18 miles).
Enter this beautiful property where every corner whispers the rich history of its past, starting with the original mill wheel elegantly preserved behind glass in the hallway. To the left, a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/diner awaits, fully equipped with lovely granite worktops and a charming Belfast sink. Here, you can create culinary delights and gather loved ones around the table for memorable meals together. Ascend to the first floor to discover the heart of the home, a bright living area with dual-aspect windows and a striking wood burner-effect fire – a cosy retreat for evenings spent watching movies or engaging in spirited card games with family and friends. Adjacent, a generously double-size bedroom beckons with its delightful touches and en-suite shower room with WC, offering privacy and comfort. Venture to the top floor to find three more enchanting bedrooms. The grand master bedroom boasts a double bed, dressing table, fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room with WC. A versatile zip-and-link bedroom offers flexibility: a king-size bed that can easily be converted into twin beds, while another bright and airy double bedroom provides a serene sanctuary for relaxation. Completing this level is a family bathroom.
Step outside onto the patio area where a lovely al fresco dining table and chairs await. Sit back and relax, glancing across the lawned garden to marvel at the Westbury White Horse in the distance.
