6 Bedroom House in Worton, nr devizes

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.

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.

Summary: We came for a family reunion for a week and found The Grange perfect. The weather was not ideal but this did not stop us having a great week, which included Christmas. There are many things to do close by and if you don’t feel like going out the house was great for just hanging out and playing games inside and out.

Summary: Our family is scattered around the globe, and this property provided the perfect meeting point for the smaller family circle to meet. This house is spacious and allows spending together-time in a generous manner. Additionally, it is a listed building and history breaths through every nook and cranny. Good old AGA oven in the kitchen provides the feeling of hearth of the home. Garden's landscape invites guests to lounge, enjoy peaceful atmosphere of the village surrounding against the backdrop of croquet, badminton and table-tennis sounds. Major advantage of this property, is the ability for a larger group to enjoy each other's company come rain or shine, due to it's layout. Only one negative aspect comes to mind : the cleaning costs. I have already questioned this with the owner. I do not find the quoted amount to be realistic and truly kosher - speaking from experience of owning a larger, older villa in continental Europe.

Summary: We and our friends and family very much enjoyed the Grange -house and grounds. A beautiful property, well furnished, with a number of paintings by the owner who is clearly an accomplished artist and horsewoman. It was a little chilly, but perhaps that is to be expected in England's springtime.

Summary: Great location for a big family get together. Lots of things to do like table tennis and croquet. Space for large family dinner and great kitchen. Lovely lounge with open fire. House nice and warm too. Only complaint was lots for flies dead and alive but may have been time of year.

Summary: We had a wonderful experience at the house, which is in a beautiful part of Wiltshire and conveniently placed for leisurely walks. The house is charming and has all necessary facilities, and a grass tennis court, lovely manicured garden and a fascinating history.

Summary: We loved the house, the beds were comfortable and all the seating areas were too. We had to call Howard to improve the heating, as some radiators were stone cold. He was a great help and very willing and amusing. After 2 visits the heating was finally sorted out. It would have been helpful to have known how the flush in the master bedroom worked! Also there were some light switches that we never found. Some explanatory notes in the book would help. Some of our family had allergic reactions to pets that must have been in the house. But overall we really appreciated the beauty of the house and the family loved the games area in the barn.

Summary: Our family ranges from age 4 to 71. Plus Prince the dog. And everyone was very happy. The weather was perfect so we took full advantage of the huge magnificent garden: playing croquet, football, hide and seek, tag, and 'the Devises Olympics', as well as eating all meals outdoors. A lovely home including a well equipped kitchen (we love cooking). Thank you.

Summary: A group of 6 couples stayed here for my big birthday and it was perfect. Lots of games of table tennis, a game of tennis, barbeque and meals in the lovely dining room. Comfortable Lounge and bedrooms and plenty of hot water and powerful showers. We would definitely book the house again.

Summary: We had an great stay at this amazing property as a Group of friends in our 30s, with one small child, and could not be happier with the owners and the facilities at the house. The grounds were stunning, the bedrooms and bathrooms were all of a high standard and for communal space there were plenty of options. Lots of entertainment provided, with a tennis court, croquet lawn, table tennis table and loads of board games to choose from. Outdoor and indoor seating - you never have to leave! Could not recommend this highly enough!! Thanks for having us and hopefully one day we'll all be back!
