Property description

A detached modern family home designed to a farmhouse style situated in the heart of a popular rural village with versatile accommodation and a large southerly garden with a pool.

Property
A detached modern village residence built in the early 1990's with stone faced external elevations under a clay tiled roof. The property is set well back from the village road and overlooks an area of green co-owned with two neighbouring houses. Attractively designed on the outside to mimic the style of a traditional country farmhouse this theme is repeated internally with the generous use of oak beams, latch doors and exposed brickwork.

The spacious accommodation allows for versatility as to how it is utilised and includes on the ground floor a welcoming reception hall, a lovely double aspect sitting room with an inglenook fireplace & woodburner, a dining room, a rustic style kitchen/breakfast room and a large light and airy garden room. There is also a cloakroom and utility room. Upstairs is a good-sized master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle. Also on this level is a large room that could be used as a fifth bedroom, studio or work area and with its stairs down to the integral garage, offers scope to be converted into an annexe. On the second floor is a long attic room with sloping ceilings, far reaching views across the Nadder Valley and which would be ideal for use as a hobbies/play room or overflow bedroom space.

Outside
A joy of the property is the large, beautifully landscaped South facing garden with a pavioured terrace to the back of the house, areas of well-kept lawns, established borders stocked with an interesting variety of flowers, shrubs and roses, various ornamental and fruit trees, productive vegetable and fruit beds, greenhouse and wooden sheds. A particular feature is the partly raised 1.3 metre deep heated swimming pool. To the front is an in and out drive with ample parking and access to the double garage.

Situation
The house is situated in a central but set back location in the popular Nadder Valley village of Dinton, an active rural community with a thriving primary school, church, well-stocked shop/part time post office run by the local residents, recreation ground, village hall, pub and various clubs. The National Trust owned Phipps Park allows public access to it lovely parkland and woodland walks. The larger nearby village of Tisbury has a good range of amenities, shops and a station with rail services to London (Waterloo). The small town of Wilton, the ancient capital of Wessex and famous for the stately home and landscaped gardens of Wilton House, is around 5 miles distant whilst the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury is just beyond and offers more comprehensive shopping, leisure and cultural facilities as well as a district hospital and station.

The region’s other principal towns including Bath, Blandford, Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Warminster are all accessible via the local road network as is the South Coast, the West Country and the motorway network. Many families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the excellent choice of state and private schools situated in Salisbury and the surrounding area. There are regional airports at Bournemouth, Bristol and Southampton.

Set amidst the particularly attractive undulating countryside of the Nadder Valley, part of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Dinton is an excellent base from which to explore the many miles of local footpaths and bridleways and there are a variety of rural pursuits available including walking, riding, cycling and fishing. Sailing can be found at Shearwater near Warminster, racing is at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton and golf at Tollard Royal, Warminster and Salisbury. There are several excellent dining pubs in the vicinity as well as many places of interest such as the Longleat Estate, Old Wardour Castle, Stourhead Gardens, Fovant Badges and Stonehenge.
