DECRIPTION
A delightful Period Cottage with Separate Annexe and Stunning Valley Views
Tucked away in the idyllic hamlet of Ridge, between the highly sought-after villages of Chilmark and Tisbury, this charming period cottage occupies an enviable elevated position, enjoying breathtaking uninterrupted views across the surrounding valley and rolling Wiltshire countryside beyond.
Believed to date back to the mid 1800's, the property has been sympathetically maintained and offers surprisingly generous accommodation arranged over two floors. The heart of the home is the welcoming open-plan kitchen/dining room, complete with a characterful fireplace, creating a wonderful space for both everyday living and entertaining. A formal sitting room features an attractive open fireplace and log burner, while the delightful garden room provides the perfect place to relax and soak in the spectacular far-reaching views across the valley. The ground floor is further complemented by a utility room, useful storeroom and cloakroom/WC.
On the first floor, four well-proportioned double bedrooms all enjoy delightful outlooks over the surrounding countryside, whilst a family bathroom serves the accommodation. One of the bedrooms also have a private shower cubicle.
Properties of this nature are exceptionally rare to the market, combining character, charm and versatile accommodation with a truly outstanding rural setting. Despite its wonderfully peaceful location, the property remains conveniently placed for the thriving village of Tisbury, which offers an excellent range of everyday amenities, a mainline railway station with direct services to London Waterloo, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
OUTSIDE
The true magic of this property lies outside. The beautifully established gardens wrap around three sides of the cottage and are well stocked with an abundance of cottage garden plants, shrubs and seasonal colour. Expansive lawned areas provide ample space for recreation, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The elevated position creates a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, whilst making the most of the exceptional views that stretch across the valley in a truly parkland-like setting.
A particularly valuable addition is the outbuilding which has been used as a one-bedroom studio annexe, offering flexible accommodation for guests, dependent relatives, holiday letting potential or home-working. The 'annexe' comprises a kitchenette, sitting room with log burner, shower room and double bedroom.
Further benefits include a carport and off-road parking.
