Property description
A small but charming attached period cottage with a delightful good sized garden & situated in a rural hamlet setting on the edge of Tisbury in the beautiful Nadder Valley.
Property An attached character cottage believed to have been built circa 1900 with stone fronted external elevations under a slate tiled roof. Although not a large property, it has a charming and cosy feel and over the years has been extended and improved but offers a new owner scope to make further enhancements or alterations so as to create the perfect country home ideal for use either as a primary residence or weekend rural retreat.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors includes on the ground floor, an entrance porch, a sitting room with wooden flooring, a woodburning stove heating the hot water and an archway and steps down to a small study/reading area. There is also a kitchen on this level and a well fitted bathroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, both with a pleasant outlook over the garden and beyond.
Outside To the front of the property is an unexpectedly large and sunny garden which is one of the joys of the property and is mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders, vegetable plots, a wooden shed and a partial outlook across fields. There is a right of access at the rear across a neigbouring drive to an Outbuilding with space for storage and plumbing for use as a utility area.
Situation Tucking Mill is a small rural hamlet situated in the heart of the lovely Nadder Valley and close to the area’s principal village of Tisbury which has a good choice of local shops including a small supermarket, butcher’s and delicatessen. Amongst other facilities are a school, doctors & dental surgeries, vets’, sports centre, garage, inns and eateries as well as a station with main line rail services to London (Waterloo). The hilltop Saxon market town of Shaftesbury and the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury offer more comprehensive shopping, leisure and medical amenities and there are several excellent dining pubs in the neighbouring villages.
The region’s other towns including Bath, Blandford, Sherborne, Wincanton and Warminster are all accessible via the local road network as is the South Coast, London, the West Country and motorway network.

The Nadder Valley is a broad stretch of lovely undulating countryside between Salisbury and Shaftesbury and which forms part of the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tucking Mill is an excellent base from which to explore the many miles of footpaths and bridleways in the area and to take part in a variety of rural pursuits such as walking, riding, cycling and fishing. Racing is at Bath, Salisbury and Wincanton whilst golf is available at Rushmore Park (Tollard Royal) and The Salisbury & West Wilts Golf Club (Salisbury).
