One of a kind! The major portion of a listed Country House, situated on an island in the heart of the historic market town of Wilton, together with about half an acre of formal gardens and grounds. The house which is listed grade II, dates from the 1800’s and was originally part of the Wilton Estate. It is surrounded on three sides by tributaries of the River Wylye. This is truly a unique property, full of character with spacious rooms and terrific potential for further alteration subject to the relevant permissions. The formal gardens include a box hedged rose garden and original greenhouse with a magnificent peach tree, many mature shrubs and lawns leading to a small bridge over the river to a summerhouse. There is a large gravel driveway offering ample parking and 13.5m long garage plus external stores.

I’ve been immensely impressed by Whites Salisbury over the last several years. I only rent out one property but Carly and Diane have provided first rate support. They charge a fair amount for the management of the flat; they get in good value companies to undertake repairs and always keep me informed of any issues. Highly recommended.

Whites have been exceptional in my sale and purchase. From the valuation to viewing, I felt safe in Matthew’s hands. The team as a whole, in particular, Sally were welcoming and made the stressful procedure so much better. I would 100% recommend Whites, a small team with a big heart.

Tony Williams was an important factor in making the house sale go through as smoothly as possible. He was there to offer advice and support and we are most grateful for his kind and professional service. Thank-you Tony and the White’s team for an awesome job!!

Kenneth K.

We were on the fence about moving when we approached several agents and Tony Williams of Whites’ gentle approach helped us to make the decision that was right for us. We sold during a tumultuous market and Tony did an excellent job of managing our expectations as well as our buyers.

We had a fantastic experience renting with Whites, and Carly, in particular, made the entire process seamless. She was not only friendly but also consistently available, addressing all our queries. Carly went the extra mile to accommodate our needs, giving us confidence about renting our new home. We highly appreciate her dedication and professionalism.
