Neighbouring Tisbury is a thriving community with a Co-Op, artisan shops, and an art gallery. The local architecture is exceptional and the woods that surround the settlement are ideal for birdwatching, foraging and walking.

WARDOUR COURT
The Award-Winning development of Wardour Court is a set of prestigious homes built shortly after the millennium to a Palladian style to compliment the architecture of New Wardour Castle, the former home of the Arundell family built in the 1770’s and in whose elevated grounds it is situated.
The surrounding Wardour Estate extends to approximately 50 acres of stunning parkland. There are numerous footpaths across the estate, enabling access to extensive walks, including to Old Wardour Castle, an English Heritage 14th century ruin. ‘New’ Wardour Castle, a Grade I listed Palladian-style country house, was built for the Arundell family in 1769, to replace the original Castle. The gardens were designed by George Ingham in 1773 and further modified by Capability Brown between 1775 and 1783. Integral to Wardour Castle is the impressive All Saints Chapel, which still holds services every Sunday. Wardour Court is constructed to the highest standards of contemporary classical elegance, closely related to the style of Wardour Castle itself.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING
As of 2017, Estate Agents are legally required to undertake Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property.
Boatwrights Estate Agents Ltd are members of The Guild of Property Professionals and therefore use a professional service called Guild 365 to facilitate these checks. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted. There is a charge for this service at a cost of £30+VAT (per person) which is non-refundable. Boatwrights do receive small proportion of this fee in order to cover our administrative costs.
