Spacious six-bedroom home with pool, tennis court and expansive private gardens.
Grade II* William & Mary house with notable period features
Dial House is an imposing Grade II* William & Mary country house dating to 1691, set within walled formal gardens and about 1.43 acres of private grounds. The main house offers expansive, classically proportioned reception rooms, high ceilings, original panelling, stone fireplaces and a noted staircase, together with six bedrooms, three bathrooms and an attic with further potential (subject to consents). Outside there is a swimming pool, hard tennis court, productive orchard, kitchen garden and a substantial range of outbuildings currently used as studio, gym, garage and loose boxes.
The property enjoys a village setting within easy walking distance of local amenities and well-regarded schools, with excellent mobile signal and good road links to Devizes, Salisbury and the A303. A jointly owned neighbouring seven-acre field provides extra open space and is run as a community-owned grazing field (horses prohibited).
Buyers should note material constraints: the house’s Grade II* listing will restrict alterations and require specialist consent for many works. The energy performance is poor (EPC F), heating is oil‑fired with separate pool plant, and broadband speeds are slow. There is a medium flooding risk in parts and council tax is very high. There is also a public footpath across part of the drive and neighbours have right of access to adjacent garages.
For a buyer seeking historic character, substantial accommodation and scope in the outbuildings, Dial House offers rare scale and privacy in a village setting; for those seeking low-running-cost or heavily modernised energy performance, the property will need targeted investment and listed‑building expertise.
