Location
The small village of Burcombe lies in the Nadder Valley, on the edge of the renowned Cranborne Chase and surrounded by the countryside and farmland of the Wilton Estate. Spectacular walks, from the doorstep, lead up to Grovely Woods in one direction and over to the Chalke Valley and the ancient Drovers Trail from Salisbury to Shaftesbury, in the other. The village has a 17th Century pub, currently being refurbished, and an acclaimed butcher. It is a friendly community, with an active village hall.
The beautiful Cathedral city of Salisbury, approximately 4.5miles east, offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants, arts and recreational facilities. Trains from Salisbury to London Waterloo have a journey time of approximately 90 minutes. Racing is available at Salisbury Racecourse and Wincanton and golf at Rushmore, South Wilts Golf Club and High Post. This area is renowned for its fishing on the River Avon, Test and outlying chalk streams.
The A303 provides access to the south west and London, via the M3.
There is a wide selection of both state and private schools in the area, including Port Regis, Clayesmore, Bryanston, Salisbury Cathedral School, Chafyn Grove and Godolphin, as well as Bishop Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar Schools.
Description
Believed to date from the 16th Century, Yew Tree Cottage is a delightful, largely thatched, Grade II listed property, constructed of cob and brick. Entry, through a solid oak front door, leads into a thatched entrance lobby, with a quarry tiled floor. The dual-aspect sitting room has a fireplace with a multi-fuel woodburning stove and is adjacent to the kitchen, also dual-aspect, with quarry tiled floor, bespoke wooden cupboards and worktops and a large inglenook fireplace, containing an oil-fired Stanley range. The utility room, with further cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, again has a quarry tiled floor and a stable door opening on to the terrace. The family bathroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs is a dual-aspect principal bedroom and two further double bedrooms, all overlooking the garden, and a separate lavatory.
Nestled in an elevated position, above a stone wall and lonicera/box hedge boundary from the lane, the cottage sits comfortably within its very pretty gardens. The setting and grounds are a particular feature of the property, having been carefully landscaped and planted by the current owner and enjoying far-reaching countryside views. The garden wraps around three sides of the cottage, so benefits from sun throughout the day and evening. It has areas of lawn, edged with deep herbaceous borders of phlox, geranium, foxgloves, poppies and roses and areas of wild grasses. There are mature trees providing shade, including acer, silver birch and sumac. A mixed hedge runs along the southern boundary, over which the views stretch out across the surrounding farmland. Adjacent to the terrace is a greenhouse and raised beds, formerly the vegetable garden. To one side of the property is an area of private parking. Planning Permission (now lapsed) had been granted to construct a garage on this site, with parking in front.
Directions
From Salisbury, take the A36 towards Warminster, then the A30 at Wilton, towards Shaftesbury. Approximately 2 miles on from Wilton, take the left-hand turning into Burcombe. At the t-junction, turn right into Burcombe Lane . Pass The Ship Inn on your right and Yew Tree Cottage will be found approximately 500 yards up on your left.
