Property description
A most attractive 17th Century Grade II Listed traditional thatched cottage with charming period character features situated in the heart of a popular Nadder Valley village.
Property A detached Grade II Listed cottage believed to date from the 17th Century with a later addition to the rear. Constructed with local stone external elevations under a thatched roof which is in good condition and re-ridged in March 2014, the property has undergone a number of improvements in recent years to create a comfortable home ideal for use either as a primary home or weekend cottage whilst still retaining its intrinsic period charm. Amongst the many original character features are inglenook fireplaces (not currently in use) with wooden bressummer beams, planked doors, a stone archway as well as wooden ceiling beams and support posts.
The accommodation is more spacious than might be readily appreciated at first glance from the front and allows for versatility as to how it can be utilised. Arranged over two levels, it includes on the ground floor; an entrance lobby, a good-sized split-level sitting room, a kitchen/breakfast room fitted with wooden units and worksurfaces, an inner hall/study area, well-proportioned dining room and a smartly fitted shower/cloakroom. Upstairs there is a large landing/family area, a spacious master bedroom, an elegant double bedroom, a pretty single bedroom and a luxury bathroom with a double ended roll top bath.
Outside To the back of the cottage is a westerly facing sheltered paved patio area, a garden shed and steps leading up to various terraced areas of garden with lawn, flower and shrub borders, fruit and ornamental trees and a raised deck.
Situation The property is situated on the High Street close to the centre of Tisbury, the principal village of the sought after Nadder Valley; 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. This 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).
Tisbury has a good choice of local shops and other facilities such as a bank, surgery, primary school, sports centre, garage, inns and eateries as well as a station with main line rail services to London (Waterloo). There are several excellent country dining pubs nearby including the well-known Beckford Arms. The hilltop Saxon market town of Shaftesbury and the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury offer more comprehensive shopping, leisure and medical amenities whilst the region’s other towns including Bath, Blandford, Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Warminster are all accessible via the local road network as is the South Coast, London, the West Country and motorway network.
Many families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the excellent choice of well-regarded state and private schools in Salisbury and the surrounding district and in the case of the latter, these include Clayesmore, Port Regis, Sandroyd, Bryanston, Bruton, Dauntseys and St Mary’s amongst others. There are several famous visitor attractions nearby such as the National Trust gardens at Stourhead, Old Wardour Castle and the stately home and safari park at Longleat.
