Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Salisbury, SP3 :
A detached historic cottage situated in the most fabulous rural setting with lovely country views, generous grounds, outbuildings and offering refurbishment potential.
Property
A pretty detached house that was originally a row of three estate workers’ Chilmark stone thatched cottages. It is not certain when it was built but is likely to be two or three hundred years old. Altered at various times over the years, the cottage was substantially but sympathetically changed in the 1970’s by the present owner when it was made into one dwelling, a tiled roof put on and an extension added to the rear. Great care has been taken to retain and indeed enhance its special period charm and many character features. Now requiring updating, the property offers the opportunity to be refurbished, perhaps even extended and is not thought to be Listed. This is a delightful home in a wonderful ‘get-away-from-it-all’ rural but not remote setting.
The accommodation on the ground floor includes a small hall, a lovely dining room with wooden beams and an inglenook fireplace with a former bread oven, a cosy sitting room and a rustic style kitchen/breakfast room with an oil fired Rayburn for cooking and heating. There is also a good-sized rear hall/utility room and a shower/cloakroom. Upstairs there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite). All the rooms enjoy a delightful views either over farmland or woodland.
Outside
A particular joy are the lovely grounds amounting to just over three quarters of an acre and having a South Easterly facing aspect. They consist of areas of lawn, flower, shrub and rose beds, a large vegetable garden, a variety of ornamental and fruit trees and a small paddock currently being used to keep poultry. A split driveway leads to two parking areas and onto a double ended garage.
The Outbuildings include a timber garage with log store, a large workshop with power and light, various storage sheds and summer house.
Situation
The property is situated in an absolutely idyllic rural location off a no-through lane in the small rural hamlet of Fonthill Gifford, once part of the infamous William Beckford’s Fonthill Abbey estate and home to the Beckford Arms, a highly rated dining pub. Located between the villages of Hindon and Tisbury, there are many excellent day-to-day amenities close at hand including local shops, schools, doctors surgeries, churches, sports facilities and several good pubs as well as a station providing direct rail services to London (Waterloo). The hilltop Saxon town of Shaftesbury is around nine miles away and has a wider choice of shops as well as being home to the famous steeply cobbled street of Gold Hill whilst the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury is fifteen miles distant. 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 nearby A303 trunk road links with the M3 motorway making 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 including Salisbury’s grammar schools, Port Regis, Clayesmore, Sandroyd, Bryanston, Bruton, Sherborne and St Mary’s amongst many others. The property is surrounded by the most attractive, gently undulating countryside of the Nadder valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and ideal 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 many places of interest in the vicinity such as Old Wardour Castle, Stourhead Gardens, Wilton House, the Longleat Estate, and the Fovant Badges.
