The Warminster Town Centre Conservation Area Assessment (Informative Document), published in March 2007, noted:
The Farmers Hotel is . . . deliberately built as a hotel, although attached to earlier buildings at the rear that may have been workshops. Interestingly, this started out life as a grocery, licensed to sell tea, coffee, pepper, tobacco and snuff before changing to a temperance hotel in 1879, selling cocoa. The most salient feature of this building is its angled front onto the corner of Silver Street and Sambourne Road.
