Description
Hillside, 48 Vicarage Street is a wonderful piece of Warminster’s history having been one of many public houses in the town, first known as the Black Bull and then The Star before becoming a family home in 1911. The property offers a great deal of potential with well-proportioned rooms arranged over four floors, now requiring a scheme of renovation and improvement throughout.

The ground floor comprises and entrance hall with doors to the two large reception rooms and enclosed stairs to the cellar and first floor. To the rear of the property is the kitchen with a large utility room to the side and a rear entrance hall leading to the parking area and garden.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, one of which was used as bedsit with a kitchenette and shower room, together with the family bathroom and separate cloakroom.

The second floor (in the attic space) has a further room which has been used as a bedroom together with a separate store room.

Outside

The gardens lie to the side and rear of the house with a raised lawn area to the rear with some mature shrubs and borders.

Beyond is a double garage, in need of some repair, with space to park several vehicles.

Note: The entrance drive is owned by Hillside but the property beyond has a full right of access over it.
