Property
A particularly attractive Grade II Listed former coaching inn and farmhouse
thought to date back to the mid 1700’s and built with a mix of dressed
limestone and rendered external elevations under clay tiled roofs. In recent
times this handsome country residence has been refurbished and updated with a
great deal of attention taken not only to retain but indeed, enhance the many
charming period features. This has led to the creation of a beautifully
presented home with bags of character and well - presented versatile
accommodation.
On the ground floor is a welcoming dining hall with a tiled floor, fireplace
with a woodburner and an old wooden door to the rear garden. The light and
airy sitting room has a wooden beamed vaulted ceiling and a feature fireplace
with a woodburner. A family room with a woodburner leads to the superbly
fitted Guild Anderson fitted kitchen/breakfast room with a Quooker boiling
water tap. Also on this level is a utility/boot room, cloakroom and access to
the cellar housing the boiler and broadband hub. On the first floor is the
principal bedroom, a guest room and luxuriously appointed bathroom whilst on
the second floor are two attic bedrooms, a shower room and a cloakroom.
Outside
A gravelled drive leads past areas of lawn, flower borders and a group of
mature trees to a parking area with an ev charging point. Beyond is an orchard
and wild garden with a variety of fruit, hazel, walnut and broadleaf trees.
The extensive South facing sloping grounds comprise a paved & gravelled
terrace with a wisteria clad pergola and steps up to a delightful garden with
established flower, shrub & rose beds with a vegetable garden & greehouse to
the side and an area of woodland beyond which has been left to go wild to
benefit the local wildlife but which could be ‘tamed’ by a new owner.
Outbuildings
The extensive range of outbuildings include a former hay loft above the
kitchen, a partly timber clad barn/workshop in need of repair, a garden shed
and a range of rented former dairy buildings in poor condition including a
cattle shed, milking parlour, dairy & store. The Property has use of a former
pump house (not owned)
Situation
The property is situated on its own amidst the beautiful countryside of the
Nadder Valley and is set back from the A303 near the hamlet of Chicklade and
the highly desirable conservation village of Hindon which has excellent
facilities for a community of its size including a shop/post office, primary
school, doctor’s surgery, church, playground and two well - known dining pubs,
The Lamb and The Grosvenor Arms. The larger village of Tisbury is four miles
away and has a fine reputation for the quality of its independent shops,
boutiques and amenities which include a sports centre, garage, vets and a
station with direct rail services to London (Waterloo). It is also the home of
Messums Wiltshire, a contemporary art centre housed in a historic thatched
tithe barn.
The Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury is 10 miles away and has a good
range of shops, supermarkets, eateries, secondary school, cottage hospital and
is famous for the picturesque, steeply cobbled street of Gold Hill. The
medieval cathedral city of Salisbury has more comprehensive shopping, arts &
leisure facilities and a district hospital. The area’s other principal towns
including Andover, Bath, Blandford, Sherborne, Warminster and Wincanton are
all linked via the local road network as is the South Coast whilst the West
Country, London and the motorway network are accessible by the A303/M3. Many
families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the choice and quality of the area’s
state and private schools.
Set amidst the famously attractive undulating countryside of the Nadder
Valley, part of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty, this 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,
Wilton House and the Fovant Badges.
Tenure
The house, main garden & some outbuildings are freehold whilst the drive & the
remaining land & outbuildings are leased from a local estate (see the site

estate’s agents.
