DESCRIPTION
Situated on a plot of just over three acres (approximately), in what can only be described as a breath-taking location, Keepers Cottage sits within an elevated position, looking over its grounds, with simply stunning views of traditional Wiltshire countryside.
The accommodation includes a kitchen/dining room with AGA, separate utility room, sitting room with wood burning stove, downstairs WC, three bedrooms, two with built in storage and a family bathroom. In addition the current owner has put in a Plankbridge shepherds hut, providing further accommodation, which could serve a number of different uses.
The property, in our opinion has further scope for enhancement/extension (STPP).
THE GROUNDS
The property is located on a quiet Lane, in which a private sweeping driveway takes you through the grounds, up to the property itself which is in an elevated position, and has a tarmacadam driveway, providing parking for several vehicles.
The grounds, which expand over three acres (Approximately) consist of a mixture of formal gardens, a piece of woodland, as well as a grass paddock, all benefitting from spectacular countryside views, and an array of different colours throughout the four different seasons.
It really is the perfect balance of a stunning rural, countryside lifestyle, full of wildlife, whilst being less than 2.5 miles from the amenities of Tisbury and a mainline train station.
We would like to make potential purchasers aware, that a footpath does run through some of the grounds. Please give us a call for more details.
