An “exceptional” period property that was once owned by one of the UK’s most prestigious schools is on the market.

Eton House, a grade II-listed home on Wylye Road in Hanging Langford, just off the A36 around halfway between Warminster and Salisbury, has been put up for sale for £1.3 million.

The property is being marketed by Savills as a five-bed family period home set in maintained gardens and paddocks extending to 3.58 acres.

Although it has been in the possession of its current owners for 40 years, it was previously owned by prestigious public school Eton College - which is where it gets its name.

Inside the thatched-roof house is a range of period features such as fireplaces, casement and sash windows, and window shutters. On the ground floor, the dining room and drawing room offer formal spaces, while a sitting room offers an everyday living space.

The first floor contains four bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, while the fifth is a “large vaulted room accessed from bedroom two”. The agents say it would be “a popular bedroom with teenagers.”

The property also includes stabling and outbuildings, as well as a swimming pool.

Mark Chick, property agent with Savills, said: “This is a historic house with a light, airy feel, set in gardens and paddocks ideal for equestrian use, offering high levels of privacy and protection against development.”
