Property description
A most attractive and elegant Grade II Listed Georgian house situated in a sought after conservation village offering adaptable accommodation and a delightful large garden.
Property A fine Grade II Listed village house of mellow red brick built external elevations under a clay tiled roof to the front and is thought to date back to the late 1700’s with a late 20th century extension to the rear. The property has undergone various alterations over the years but still retains a feeling of elegance and period charm. It now offers an ideal opportunity for a discerning new owner looking to undertake the further improvement and indeed, possible alteration (subject to the necessary consents) of a lovely home situated in a highly desirable rural village location.
The versatile accommodation is arranged over three floors and presently this is arranged on the ground floor as having a sitting room with a striking fireplace, a dining room, study (currently used as a ground floor bedroom with a shower room off it) and a reception hall/snug. There is also a hub-of-the-house kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom and access to a cellar at this level. Upstairs on the first floor are three bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom, and a family bathroom. On the top floor are two attic rooms, one being used a single bedroom and the other larger one, is presently a store room but could be utilised as a further bedroom.
Outside A particular joy of the property are the absolutely delightful and surprisingly extensive gardens. A drive off the High Street leads to an area of off street parking and on to the attached garage and a paved terrace to the rear of the house. Steps lead up to the large gently sloping lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders, yew tree, beech hedging, fruit and vegetable beds and two wooden garden sheds. Beyond the top of the garden is a wide strip of grassland overlooking a paddock with a mature beech tree, apple tree, fruit bushes and which would be suitable for use as an orchard, small animal enclosure or as amenity land.
Situation The house is situated on the attractive broad, tree lined High Street with its mix of old brick and Chilmark stone houses and cottages. This highly sought after and thriving conservation village is situated in South West Wiltshire, close to the county’s borders with Dorset and Somerset. The excellent local facilities include a community run shop/post office, primary school, doctor’s surgery, playground and two well-known dining pubs; The Lamb and The Angel. The nearby village of Tisbury is just three miles away and has good everyday shopping facilities as well as a station with mainline rail services to London (Waterloo).
Despite its lovely rural setting on the edge of the Nadder Valley, the village is not isolated and has good road links to the main towns in the area including Salisbury, Shaftesbury, Bath, Blandford, Warminster, Wincanton and Yeovil as well as to the South Coast. The nearby A303 gives access to London, the West Country and motorway network whilst the nearest regional airports are at Bournemouth and Bristol.
Hindon is an excellent base for several highly respected schools in both the state and private sectors. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village is surrounded by idyllic undulating countryside ideal for a variety of rural pursuits including walking, riding and cycling. Racing is at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton with golf at Tollard Royal, Sherborne and Salisbury. There are several famous visitor attractions nearby such as the National Trust gardens at Stourhead, the stately home and safari park at Longleat and the English Heritage owned remains of Old Wardour Castle.
