Property description
An intriguing detached period property with spacious open plan living accommodation & character features in a popular village in the heart of the beautiful Nadder Valley.
Property An attractive and rather unusual detached property built with local Chilmark stone external elevations under a slate tiled roof. Its original purpose remains a mystery, possibly a hall, reading room or lodge. An engraving in the stone lintel over the fireplace suggests that it was constructed in 1800. There are still period features in evidence such as a fine fluted wooden front door and with its charm and versatile living space, as well as accessible village location making this an ideal character home for use either as a full time residence or weekend retreat.
The accommodation is arranged over two levels and includes a spacious, partly wooden panelled, open plan sitting/dining room with a wood burning stove, display shelves and a deep under stairs cupboard. To the rear is a galley kitchen which opens out to a pretty breakfast room. Steps lead down from the main living room to a good-sized family/work room to the side and which could be used as an occasional third bedroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with storage and wooden flooring, one having French doors leading to a roof terrace overlooking the garden. There is also a bathroom with a separate shower.
Outside
To the rear of the property is a raised courtyard garden with a stone paved terrace, established flower and shrub borders, a wooden garden store/summer house and side access to the High Street.
SituationThe House is situated on Tisbury’s High Street and close to the village centre. Tisbury is the principal village of the sought after Nadder Valley; a broad stretch of lovely undulating countryside between Salisbury and Shaftesbury and which forms part of the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is an excellent base from which to explore the many miles of footpaths and bridleways in the area and for taking part in a variety of rural pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling and fishing. Racing is at Bath, Salisbury and Wincanton whilst golf is available at Rushmore Park and The Salisbury & West Wilts Golf Club.
Tisbury has a very good choice of local shops and other facilities such as a doctors’ surgery, dentist’s, sports centre, garage, inns and eateries as well as a station with main line rail services to London (Waterloo). There are several excellent dining pubs nearby. The hilltop Saxon market town of Shaftesbury and the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury offer more comprehensive shopping, leisure and medical amenities. The region’s other towns including Bath, Blandford, Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Warminster are all accessible via the local road network as is the South Coast, London, the West Country and motorway network. There are regional airports at Bournemouth, Bristol and Southampton.
Many families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the excellent choice of well-regarded state and private schools in Salisbury and the surrounding district and in the case of the latter, these include Clayesmore, Port Regis, Sandroyd, Bryanston, Bruton, Dauntseys and St Mary’s amongst others.
