4 bed detached house for sale
Shearcross Farm, Shearcross, Crockerton, Warminster (ref: RS136)

Steeped in history and charm, the house seamlessly blends traditional features like exposed stone and brickwork, flagstone floors and oak beams, with modern day comforts. As you enter through the sunny stable door, you are greeted by the warmth and character of this former dairy farm, which dates back to the late 1700s.

The heart of the home is the cozy lounge with a log burner that invites you to relax in comfort. The dining room/snug also has a log burner and original flagstone floor making it perfect for intimate gatherings. The good-sized eat-in/farmhouse style kitchen offers a welcoming space for family meals with plenty of room for culinary creativity. The house also has a study, laundry room, walk-in cellar, and a generous porch that leads to the garden.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a retreat in itself, boasting a separate dressing room and a spacious ensuite bathroom. Three more bedrooms and a family bathroom offer plenty more room for both family and guests.

The outdoor spaces at Shearcross Farm are truly exceptional. The main garden is a blend of manicured lawns, wildflower areas, private nooks and patios, perfect for relaxation or play. Whether you're harvesting fresh produce from the greenhouse and veggie beds or collecting eggs from the 'First Paddock', this property is a gardener's paradise. The lower garden, with its herb spiral and mini orchard, offers a selection of fruit trees, including apples, pears, plums and a very productive grapevine.

For those who want a more relaxing lifestyle, the 'Top Paddock' is a haven of tranquillity, with a hammock overlooking the treetops, a firepit for gatherings, and a stunning fully insulated cabin. The cabin is currently used as a home office but it also has the potential to serve as unique guest accommodation or a creative studio.

The additional 'Old Dairy' annexe is a highlight of the property. With full amenities, including electricity, water, and central heating, it is currently an artist's studio but could easily be transformed into a yoga studio, Airbnb, or a home for a nanny or an elderly relative. This charming outbuilding, along with the barn, woodshed, and other outbuildings, provides ample storage and endless possibilities for future use.
