Property description
A most attractive & charming period cottage with a separate annexe/studio situated in a tucked away setting in a popular village in the heart of the beautiful Nadder Valley.
Property A small but pretty Chilmark stone built attached cottage with a clay tiled roof and is thought to date back to the 1840’s. The property has seen many alterations and improvements over the years but still retains its intrinsic period charm and character making this is a really delightful home in a pleasant village setting and together with its separate annexe/studio, is one that is ideal for use either as a full time residence or weekend retreat.
The accommodation on the ground floor includes a lovely sitting room with a Jetmaster open fire opening to a dining area which in turn is open plan to the attractively fitted kitchen with its range of eye and base level cupboards and drawers and terracotta tiled floor. There is also an entrance lobby and cloakroom on this level whilst upstairs are two bedrooms, family bathroom and a study that could be used as an occasional third bedroom.
Outside A particular joy of the property are the pretty gardens, arranged in two sections. To the front is a delightful southerly facing cottage garden with lawn, a stone paved patio and a wonderful variety of flowers and shrubs. Across the lane is an area of off street parking, two wooden sheds and wooden gates giving access to an enclosed area of further garden which includes lawn, additional parking, flower and shrub borders and a potting shed.
In the second garden is a separate Annexe/Studio which has its own kitchen facilities and a shower/cloakroom so that it can be utilised in a variety of ways such as a guest suite, work facility or simply as an extension to the living space for the main cottage.
Situation The Cottage is situated off a tucked away elevated lane off the top end of the High Street in Tisbury, 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 to take 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 (Tollard Royal) and The Salisbury & West Wilts Golf Club (Salisbury).
Tisbury has a good choice of local shops and other facilities such as a bank, surgery, 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, 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.
