Detached house for sale in Salisbury SP3, 4 Bedroom

Listed Grade II and built circa 1830's, Quarry Farm House is a stylish and spacious Georgian house. It offers the best of both worlds - large well-proportioned rooms with good ceiling heights in a period house of a manageable size. The house is typical of the area, constructed of local grey limestone under a pitched slate roof with Georgian sash windows. The house retains its period features and charm such as a fan light over the front door, timber banister and flagstone flooring throughout the ground floor. It has a traditional configuration with principal reception rooms leading off a central hall. At the same time, some modern touches make the house work and flow well, such as the large kitchen/breakfast room, Ventrolla draught proof windows and the upstairs laundry. The drawing room is worthy of special mention with huge dual aspect windows, one of which is a large bay, a stone floor and a handsome fireplace. The dining room is larger than a house of this size might usually have, as is the study, and
these rooms would comfortably accommodate furniture from a larger house.

The bedrooms are all of an excellent size, particularly the master, and two have the original fireplaces. One bathroom could be reconfigured to provide en-suite facilities if required. Beneath the building are a pair of barrel ceiling cellars, both of which are dry and offer excellent storage or potential for conversion into a further habitable room, such as a games room, playroom, gym or cinema room (subject to the necessary consent).

Quarry Farm House is situated in the sought -after Nadder Valley in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In the adjacent/connected hamlet there is a good country pub offering food and accommodation. The house is located 1.5 miles outside the charming village of Tisbury which has numerous independent shops, such as a delicatessen, a butcher, a fishmonger and a bookshop. The recently opened Messums Wiltshire provides a cultural hub incorporating an art gallery, arts centre and restaurant. Tisbury is served by a mainline rail service direct to Waterloo. Both Salisbury and Shaftesbury provide a comprehensive range of educational, shopping and recreational facilities. There is easy access to the A303 which gives access to the south west and to London via the M3. There are a number of excellent schools within reach including Port Regis, Sandroyd, Hazelgrove, Handford, Clayesmore, Sherborne, Bryanston, St. Mary's Shaftesbury, Godolphin and Downside. Quarry Farm House also lies within the catchment area for Salisbury’s outstanding boys’ and girls’ Grammar schools.

Quarry Farm House sits in a quiet and peaceful position, in the small hamlet of Chicksgrove. Pretty wrought iron gates open onto a gravel drive which leads through the garden and opens onto a parking area for several cars. The garden itself is bordered on all sides by a half height grey stone wall. Two areas of lawn flank the driveway and a series of well-stocked beds and borders line the boundaries. The garden is of a manageable size and has been prefessionally designed and very well cared for.
