House For Sale £5,000,000
First mentioned in the 1300s and in its current incarnation dating from circa 1700 with later additions, Hillstreet Farmhouse is a handsome stone-built family home, offering almost 5,500 sq. Ft. Of light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors. The house has been sensitively modernised by the current owners, whilst still retaining attractive character features, with underfloor heating in a number of rooms and fibre broadband networked throughout the property.
The generous ground floor accommodation comprises a dual-aspect drawing room with feature open fireplace, tall sash windows and an outer door leading to a vast Yorkstone terrace and the garden beyond. Adjoining the drawing room is a sitting room with feature inglenook open fireplace and tall sash windows on both aspects. There is a vaulted wine cellar below the drawing room, accessed by way of a hidden bookcase door. A well-proportioned study, laundry room and cloakroom are located just off the kitchen. The large kitchen/breakfast room with an adjoining utility room and walk-in pantry forms the heart of the home and truly is the hub for all family life. The kitchen has a range of wall units including a large free-standing central island with breakfast bar and a large 4-oven oil aga alongside a 2-oven electric aga module and modern integrated appliances. With under-floor heating and built-in speakers, the adjoining garden/dining room has bi-fold doors extending the full length of the room to a courtyard terrace set within a banked amphitheatre, home to out-door speakers hidden among an abundance of herbs and wildflowers, carefully designed to integrate outside living with al fresco entertaining. A door from an inner hall opens through to a dual-aspect orangery-style boot room with vaulted glazed ceiling and French doors at either end, leading to an inner courtyard and steps up to the rose garden beyond on one side and an expansive terrace on the other. The boot room offers plenty of useful storage space and provides access to a large games room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed A frame beams together with a set of stairs up to an 18 ft. First floor room, which could be used for a den or further storage space. Hidden below the games room is a second larger vaulted cellar, currently accessed by way of a hatch in the floor, but it retains a set of stone steps, which would otherwise lead up into the boot room. Beyond the games room is an entrance hall with more storage space, which offers access to the back garden on one side and the swimming pool on the other. Internally, the hall leads to a useful second utility room on one side, home to a walk-in shower room and W.C and on the other side of the hall, is a door to a stunning artist’s studio, with
a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams framing an enormous arched window with glorious views to the countryside beyond.
On the first floor the property provides a large vaulted principal bedroom with its own private balcony, and is flanked by two his and hers dressing rooms and a large en-suite bathroom, home to an enormous double-ended roll top bath and a separate shower with rain head. There are two further generous double bedrooms on the first floor, each with their own bathroom, one of which benefits from its own private staircase, leading from the inner hall, and enjoys private access to the rose garden by way of French windows with a fanned window above. The property’s three remaining double bedrooms, can be found on the second floor together with a shared family bathroom.
Tisbury is a large and popular village with an excellent range of day to day facilities including a variety of shops, doctor's surgery, dentist, primary and secondary schools, bank and a mainline railway station. Hillstreet Farmhouse is about half a mile from the village centre and occupies an elevated position with delightful views over a small wooded valley through which meanders a pretty tributary of the River Nadder.
Communications are well laid out with the A303(T) road which connects with the south west and to London (98 miles) via the M3, only 3 miles to the north. Tisbury itself has a mainline railway station which provides access to London Waterloo under 2 hours.
Tisbury is well placed for access to all the well-known local private and state schools including Godolphin, Chafyn Grove, The Cathedral School, Bishops Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar School in Salisbury and to the west Sandroyd, Hanford, Port Regis, St Mary’s Shaftesbury, Clayesmore, Bryanston and Sherborne.
The tarmac drive leads down to a wide gravelled parking and turning area behind the house and adjacent to the annexe. To the north is a barn which provides space for garaging and a workshop with a well converted first floor suitable for a studio, playroom or office which opens directly onto the gravelled courtyard.
The gardens are delightful and a particular feature of the property. Most of the gardens are to the west and south of the house. The swimming pool is set in a wide paved terrace, screened by rose covered walls and yew hedging with a pretty revolving summerhouse. Steps lead up to a formal well laid out garden with lavender and box hedging, a sunken lawn and a garden seat with a rose arbour, again protected by yew hedging. Further steps lead up to the orchard with a variety of trees under planted with spring bulbs. Immediately to the south of the house is the well screened walled garden adjacent to the conservatory.
