Situation
The property is situated in an elevated setting at the upper end of the highly desirable community of Tisbury’s high street, a location within easy reach of the village’s many excellent facilities. Tisbury is the principal village of the beautiful Nadder Valley and has become a desirable place to live amongst discerning buyers due to its excellent choice of independent local shops, boutiques and eateries as well as its numerous amenities including a primary school, doctors and dental surgeries, vets, sports and community centre, garage and a station with direct rail services to London (Waterloo) and the West Country. The village is home to Messums West, a contemporary arts centre housed in a 14th Century thatched tithe barn at Place Farm, the largest of its type in the country.
The Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury is 9 miles away and has a good range of shops, supermarkets, a well-respected secondary school, cottage hospital and is famous for the picturesque steeply cobbled street of Gold Hill. The medieval cathedral city of Salisbury is 13 miles distant and has more comprehensive shopping, entertainment & leisure amenities and a district hospital. The local road network gives access to the other main towns in the region including Bath, Blandford, Gillingham and Warminster as well as to the South Coast whilst the A303 links with the M3, making London accessible for the motorist. Many families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the excellent choice of state and private schools.
Set amidst the attractive undulating countryside of the Nadder Valley, part of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape, an International Dark Skies Reserve, Tisbury is an excellent base from which to explore many miles of footpaths and bridleways with a variety of rural pursuits available including walking, riding, cycling and fishing.
