Full Details for 2 Bedroom Detached for sale in Salisbury, SP3 :
An extended thatched cottage in the most idyllic rural hamlet setting enjoying open country views with character features, versatile accommodation & a delightful garden.
Property
A pretty detached country cottage built with local Chilmark stone external elevations under a thatched roof with period origins and sympathetically extended in the late 20th Century. The property has undergone a number of alterations and improvements over the years but still retains its special period charm and character making this is a really delightful home in a wonderful ‘get-away-from-it-all’ rural but not remote setting ideal for use either as a primary home or weekend escape.
The accommodation offers considerable versatility as to how it can be utilised and on the ground floor includes a lovely triple aspect long sitting room with wooden beams and an unusual feature stone fireplace on iron support posts and a wood burner. The family room was designed for use as an occasional third bedroom being close to the cloakroom whilst with views over fields to the rear, is a large light and airy dining/garden room and a kitchen/breakfast room open plan to a utility area. Upstairs there is a good-sized landing/study area, two bedrooms that both enjoy enviable views over the surrounding countryside and a well-appointed shower room with a luxury walk-in glass shower cubicle.
Outside
With its open outlook over fields and woodland in three directions, the garden is a joy with areas of lawn, flower and shrub borders, a brick pavioured terrace, pergola, greenhouse, garden shed and ample parking. A charming brick and stone ‘folly’ and archway gives access to a further area of garden and a summer house.
Situation
The property is located in a lovely rural setting off a country lane in the highly desirable hamlet of Lower Chicksgrove in the heart of the Nadder Valley which is renowned for its attractive, gently undulating countryside and forms part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Lower Chicksgrove is made up of a small collection of pretty houses and cottages and is home to The Compasses, a traditional country inn serving excellent food. The nearby village of Fovant has a post office/shop, doctor’s surgery, active village hall and garage whilst the larger village of Tisbury is just over two miles away and has very good day-to-day shopping facilities, eateries, a post office, school, doctor’s and dental surgeries, sports centre, garage and a station with direct rail services to London (Waterloo) and the West Country.
Lower Chicksgrove is situated a couple of miles off the A30 between the hilltop Saxon town of Shaftesbury and medieval cathedral city of Salisbury both of which offer a comprehensive range of amenities and facilities. The local road network gives ready access to the other main towns in the region including Bath, Blandford, Sherborne, Warminster and Wincanton as well as to the South Coast whilst the A303 trunk road linking with the M3 makes London accessible for the motorist. For many families the wide choice of highly regarded local schools in both the state and private sectors is a big draw which include Salisbury’s grammar schools, Port Regis, Clayesmore, Bryanston, Bruton and St Mary’s amongst many others. The cottage is surrounded by the glorious rolling countryside of South Wiltshire which is ideal for a variety of rural pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling and fishing. There are a number of boutique dining pubs in the surrounding area, golf clubs at Tollard Royal and Salisbury, sailing at Shearwater whilst racing is at Salisbury, Wincanton and Bath.
