A superbly presented elegant home ideal for gracious country living & forming part of an exclusive development in the grounds of Wardour Castle in the beautiful Nadder Valley.


Property
Wardour Court is built of dressed stone external elevations under a slate tiled roof with Number 3 positioned on the favoured Southern side of the attractive central courtyard which together with its high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms and tall sash windows, makes this a light and airy property. Internally it has been fitted, equipped and decorated to an exemplary standard creating a gracious country residence ideal for use as a primary home or weekend lock-up-and-leave rural retreat.

The beautifully presented accommodation is arranged over three floors and allows for considerable versatility as to how it can be enjoyed.

There is also a utility room, cloakroom, rear hall and wiring for B & O sound to this and the first floor.

The first floor has a galleried landing, an impressive library/family room with arched windows providing a lovely southerly outlook over the grounds and double doors to the striking master bedroom which has a dressing room and bathroom whilst the pretty guest bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. On the second floor are two large bedrooms which could be used as studio, games or work rooms plus a bathroom with a separate shower.

Outside
To the rear is a southerly facing paved terrace opening to a good-sized area of lawn with a pleasant outlook over the neighbouring grounds whilst to the front are two parking spaces, a paved area and garage. There is also an area of visitor parking and access to a network of footpaths from which to explore the surrounding countryside.

Situation

Wardour Court is an award winning courtyard development of prestigious homes built shortly after the millennium to a Palladian style to compliment the architecture of New Wardour Castle, the former home of the Arundell family built in the 1770’s and in whose elevated grounds it is situated. The small rural hamlet of Wardour has a thriving primary school and is set in the heart of the Nadder Valley, renowned for its attractive undulating countryside and forms part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The nearby village of Semley has a community run shop/café, school and pub whilst the larger village of Tisbury is just two miles away and has very good day-to-day facilities, eateries, a post office, school, doctors’ and dental surgeries, sports centre, garage and a station with direct rail services to London (Waterloo) and the West Country. The Dorset Saxon market town of Shaftesbury is a 7.5 mile distant and has a wider choice of amenities and is home to the famous steeply cobbled street of Gold Hill.

The local road network gives ready access to the other main towns in the region including Bath, Blandford, Salisbury, Sherborne and Warminster as well as to the South Coast whilst the A303 trunk road linking with the M3 makes London accessible for the motorist. The region is well known for having a wide choice of highly regarded schools in both the state and private sectors and the property is an ideal base for a variety of rural pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling and fishing. There are golf courses at Tollard Royal, Salisbury and Warminster with racing at Bath, Salisbury and Wincanton and sailing at Shear Water near Warminster. There are several excellent dining pubs in the vicinity as well as many places of interest such as Old Wardour Castle, the Longleat Estate, Wilton House and the Fovant Badges.
