This lovely period, semi-detached brick cottage sits on just under a quarter of an acre (STM) in a beautiful countryside location, with outstanding rural views and delightful walks on the doorstep.
Fonthill Gifford is a tranquil hamlet in southwest Wiltshire's Nadder Valley and surrounded by pretty woodlands and farmland. Positioned on the edge of the Fonthill Estate's rolling parkland, it is within walking distance of The Beckford Arms, a well-regarded local inn. The location provides easy access to the pretty village of Hindon and the larger vibrant village of Tisbury, thereby ensuring all the charm of countryside living whilst being close to local amenities.
This country cottage pulls on the heartstrings. Believed to date back to the 1850's it is full of warmth and character, and combines attractive architectural features such as stone mullioned windows and stone quoins with a thoughtful contemporary extension added by the current owner.
The ENTRANCE HALL is spacious, with stairs leading to the first floor, a convenient coat-hanging area, and a view that extends through the house to the garden. A practical W.C. is situated off the hallway. The contemporary extension at the rear of the cottage naturally draws your attention, offering a bright and airy open-plan KITCHEN/DINING/RECEPTION room. Fully glazed along the rear, it beautifully frames the garden and rural views.
The attractive wooden country style kitchen has a butler's sink, integrated electric oven and hob and space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. A wood burner provides a cosy focal point and there is plenty of space for a large dining table for day-to-day dining and entertaining, a sofa or additional seating. A double-glazed door opens out to a spacious patio, a lovely place to enjoy views of the horses and sheep in the surrounding fields, or to spot the abundance of wildlife.
At the front of the house, the SITTING ROOM has built in bookcases either side of the open fire, perfect for enjoying cosy evenings. Two small storage rooms are located off the sitting room
On the first floor, the LANDING offers loft access and leads to the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, a bright double with countryside views and a small nook that could make an ideal study area. BEDROOM TWO is also a light-filled room, and a modern SHOWER ROOM, located next door, serves both bedrooms.
Outside
The house is approached via a picket fence that leads to the front door. There is additional gated access to a spacious side return, offering ample room for a wood store. The side return leads to the GARDEN, where a generous gravelled PATIO lies just outside the house.
A wood chip path, bordered with logs, winds gently down the garden to a timber SHED which has light and power. The garden extends further and has a variety of specimen trees and is enclosed by a mix of hedging and fencing, all set against the seasonal changing backdrop of the stunning south Wiltshire countryside. The plot measures approximately 0.24 acres (STM), providing plenty of space for keen gardeners or even chickens.
Location
The charming village of Hindon is just over a mile away and offers welcoming pubs, including The Grosvenor Arms and The Lamb. Other local amenities include Hindon Stores, run by the community, a post office, and a doctor's surgery. The nearby village of Tisbury, only a 6-minute drive, is the largest village in the Nadder Valley and has a vibrant high street with independent shops, cafes, and pubs. It is also home to Messums Wiltshire, a renowned contemporary art gallery.
A little further afield, there are plenty of attractions to explore, including the National Trust's stunning Stourhead Estate. Salisbury is 15 miles, Bath is 30 miles, and Bristol is 40 miles away.
Tisbury also benefits from a mainline railway station with excellent connections to Salisbury and London Waterloo, which can be reached in under two hours.
