On the first floor is a master bedroom with a well-appointed en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom and family bathroom whilst on the top floor is a good sized studio bedroom with a luxurious en-suite bathroom. This property has a lovely welcoming feel and is ideal for use as a primary home or holiday cottage and might suit someone interested in running a Bed & Breakfast business.

Situation
The property 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.
