Property

An 18th Century Grade II Listed end-of-terrace village house built with mellow red brick external elevations under a clay tiled roof. Internally, there are high ceilings and a wealth of period features. In recent years this charming three storey property has undergone a thorough programme of modernisation and improvement including a sympathetically designed single story extension at the rear. The result is a stylish and beautifully presented home that retains a lovely character feel making it ideal for use as a full time residence, weekend retreat and over the last year has been let as a highly rated holiday cottage.

The accommodation is accessed from the rear and on the ground floor includes a good-sized sitting room to the front with a brick fireplace. The light and airy open plan kitchen/ dining room has limestone flooring with heating under. The dining area has an inglenook fireplace with exposed brickwork and access to the cellar whilst the kitchen has attractive fitted units and leads to the rear lobby and cloakroom. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, and a luxurious bathroom with a separate shower on the first floor and there are two further bedrooms on the top level, one with an en-suite shower room.

Outside

To the rear of the house is a level Westerly facing lawned garden with paved patios and shrub borders. A gated gravelled drive leads to a larger area of lawned garden with two wooden sheds and scope to create a parking area and build a garage (stc).

Situation

The property is situated on Hindon’s attractive broad tree lined High Street. This highly desirable conservation village with its mix of old brick and Chilmark stone houses and cottages has excellent facilities for a community of its size including a 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 three miles away and is developing a fine reputation for the quality of its independent shops, boutiques and amenities which include a sports centre, garage, vets and a station with direct rail services to London (Waterloo). It is also the home of the Messums Wiltshire, an art centre housed in a historic thatched tithe barn.

The Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury is eight miles away and has a good range of shops, a supermarket, 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 and Warminster are all linked via the local road network as is the South Coast whilst the West Country, London and the motorway network are accessible by the A303/M3. Many families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the choice and quality of the area’s state and private schools.

Set amidst the famously 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, Wilton House and the Fovant Badges.
