Property description
An attractive older style chalet bungalow with versatile accommodation & lovely South facing grounds that back onto fields set on the edge of a highly desirable rural village.
Property
A detached traditional style chalet bungalow probably built in the mid-twentieth Century with later alterations and improvements. Although generally well presented and in good order, some minor updating and modernisation may now be desirable to make what is already a very pleasant property into a really lovely home in a highly desirable setting.
Much of the particularly versatile accommodation is arranged on a single level and can be utilised in a variety of ways. Currently this includes an entrance hall, a double aspect sitting room overlooking the garden with a fireplace (currently not in use), two bedrooms, a wet room, fitted kitchen with a larder cupboard and a light and airy garden room/conservatory that would be suitable for use as a dining room. Upstairs is a study area/third bedroom and a shower room. All the rooms either have a pleasant Southerly outlook over the garden or lovely views at the back across the neighbouring fields and trees.
Situation
The property is situated in a small cul-de-sac off a lane on the edge of the ever sought after and thriving conservation village of Hindon known for its pretty High Street with its mix of old brick and Chilmark stone houses and cottages. The village’s excellent facilities include a community run shop/post office, primary school, doctor’s surgery, church, playground and two well-known dining pubs; The Lamb and The Angel. The larger village of Tisbury is just three miles away and has good everyday shopping and local amenities as well as a station with mainline rail services to London (Waterloo).
The North Dorset Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury is nearby and has a good range of shops, supermarkets, eateries, an up and coming secondary school, cottage hospital and is famous for the picturesque, steeply cobbled street of Gold Hill. The medieval cathedral city of Salisbury has more comprehensive shopping, arts & leisure facilities and a district hospital. The area’s other principal towns including Bath, Blandford, Sherborne, Warminster and Wincanton are all accessible via the local road network as is the South Coast, West Country, London and motorway system. Many families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the excellent choice of state and private schools. There are regional airports at Bournemouth, Bristol and Southampton.
Set amidst the particularly attractive undulating countryside of the Nadder Valley, part of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hindon is an excellent base from which to explore the many miles of local footpaths and bridleways and there are a variety of rural pursuits available including walking, riding, cycling and fishing. Sailing can be found at Shearwater near Warminster, racing is at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton and golf at Tollard Royal, Warminster and Salisbury. There are several excellent dining pubs in the vicinity as well as many places of interest such as the Longleat Estate, Old Wardour Castle, Stourhead Gardens, Fovant Badges and Stonehenge.
OutsideA particular joy of the property is the good-sized, gently sloping South facing garden to the front which is mainly laid to lawn with well-established beds, shrubs and trees. There is also a wooden deck by the garden room, a gravelled terrace, gravelled drive and a detached single garage. To the rear is a further small area of garden, encased oil fired boiler and a pleasant outlook over the adjoining paddock and trees.
