Property description
Horsington House was built by the Dodington family, probably about 1830 on the site of the old manor house. Horsington House is a Grade II Listed property peacefully set back from the road via a quarter of a mile drive. The house was substantially and skilfully re-modelled by the current owner from a hotel into two duplexes and two flats, being refurbished to a high standard with new wiring and plumbing. Horsington House is impressively spacious with classically proportioned rooms. The décor of 1 Horsington House today is understated and tastefully presented, with many period features retained. Summary highlights include: 4/5 stunning reception rooms inclusive of a music room with impressive domed painted ceiling probably dating back to the 18th Century, large fitted kitchen/ breakfast room, 4/5 bedrooms inclusive of a Master with en suite bathroom with jet bath and steam room/shower, study or 5th bedroom, William and Mary onyx fire surround and mantle over an open fire in the formal drawing room, high ceilings and cornicing, French doors in all principal reception rooms and North eastern rooms have far- reaching views over The Blackmore Vale.

Horsington House is situated in the Parish of Horsington which is in a Conservation Area, surrounded by unspoilt farmland and with predominantly period stone properties in the neighbourhood. Road and rail communications are excellent with direct access onto the A357 to the south and with the A303 (connecting London and the West Country) to the north.
