Full Details for 2 Bedroom Detached for sale in Salisbury, SP3 :
A beautifully presented & refurbished Listed period cottage with charming character features once part of a historic coaching inn situated in a sought after rural conservation village.
Property
A Grade II Listed, mid terraced cottage with white rendered external elevations to the front and rear under a clay tiled roof and until the mid-19th Century is thought to have originally formed part of a traditional coaching inn at a time when Hindon was an important staging post between London and Exeter. In recent years the property has been extensively and sympathetically refurbished and modernised with great care taken with the alterations to retain the essence of the period character.
Fitted to a particularly high standard and tastefully decorated, this is a charming and welcoming home which would be ideal for use either as a primary residence or weekend retreat with its beautifully presented accommodation and accessible village location.
The ground floor comprises of a lovely sitting room with an inglenook fireplace and cast iron wood burning stove. The light and airy kitchen/dining room has been attractively fitted with a range of cream coloured shaker style cupboards and drawers with wooden work surfaces, an electric Aga and equipped with built in appliances. Upstairs on the first floor is a good-sized double bedroom with a pretty fireplace (not in use) and a well-appointed bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower cubicle whilst on the second floor is a large bed/studio room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and views to the rear.
Outside
To the back of the house is a small but pleasant, paved and picket fenced southwesterly facing courtyard garden with a gate giving access across a shared courtyard and up a footpath to a detached ‘hidden’ garden laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders and a summer house and although away from the cottage, makes for a lovely peaceful spot.
Hindon is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South West Wiltshire and not far from the county’s border with Dorset and Somerset. 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 convenient 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. 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. There are several famous visitor attractions nearby such as the National Trust gardens at Stourhead, the stately home and safari park at Longleat the World Heritage prehistoric site at Stonehenge and the English Heritage owned remains of Old Wardour Castle.
