House For Sale £635,000
Property
Chaplins is a charming Grade II listed gem of a property which brims with period character and yet fully integrates modern fittings and detail. The rooms are neutrally decorated and so have a freshness which combines with plenty of light to create a bright, Scandi flavour. A wood burner, set in the inglenook fireplace, provides plenty of warmth and atmosphere, and two recessed alcoves hold shelving and cupboards to each side. Window seats lie under small pane windows, while window shutters and painted beams complete the picture.
The kitchen is modern and well fitted with an industrial style sink unit and electric oven with hob. The units are low level, allowing for plenty shelving, while the marble effect worksurface is a lovely addition. This whole part of the house has a tiled floor with under floor heating and is a perfect canvas for rugs to be laid.
Joined by a wonderful recently constructed atrium is a lovely room converted from an old outbuilding, with a cloakroom, mezzanine floor and bifold doors opening onto the terrace. This space is multi-functional and can be utilized as a snug, studio or third bedroom.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms, both with good storage, a bathroom and a large, stylish shower room. This floor is well proportioned and has a lovely feel without compromising space.
Outside
A major appeal of this property is its good sized and beautifully landscaped east facing garden, the majority of which also takes full advantage of a southerly aspect.
This most attractive outside space combines a block paved terrace immediately outside the kitchen and studio bifold doors, with a retaining wall and steps up to a lawn area bisected by a block paved path and bordered by well planted beds.
The paviour path leads to a heated greenhouse in one direction and an implement shed beyond which, to the rear of the garden, is a gate in a mature hedge providing access to resin bound hard-standing with parking for two cars. Adjacent to this is a small range of timber outbuildings comprising an insulated workshop with power and light, as well as two garage barns, one of which is insulated and heated and set up with the potential for a home office.
Gated vehicular access leads on to a track to the side of the property which runs down to the road. These facilities are a rarity in the village and add significantly to the appeal of the property as a whole.
Agent’s Notes:
A right of way exists in favour of neighbouring properties.
Photographs taken March 2021. Since then some of the interior furnishings have changed.
Situation
Chaplins is conveniently situated in the High Street of this highly desirable conservation village which has excellent facilities for a community of its size, including a shop/post office, award winning doctor’s surgery, primary school, church, playground and two well-known dining Inns, The Lamb and The Grosvenor. The larger village of Tisbury is three miles away and has a fine reputation for the quality of its independent shops, boutiques and amenities, which include a sports centre, garage, vets, primary school and a station with direct rail services to London (Waterloo 1hr 50 mins). It is also the home of Messums Wiltshire, a contemporary arts centre housed in an ancient thatched tithe barn.
The Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury (8 miles) has a good range of shops, a supermarket, eateries, an up and coming secondary school, cottage hospital and is famous for the picturesque, steeply cobbled street of Gold Hill. The medieval cathedral city of Salisbury (16 miles) has more comprehensive shopping, arts & leisure facilities and a district hospital. The area’s other principal towns including Bath, Blandford, Sherborne and Warminster are all linked via the local road network as is the South Coast whilst the West Country, London and the motorway network are accessible by the A303/M3. Many families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the choice and quality of the area’s state and private schools.
Set amidst the famously attractive undulating countryside of the Nadder Valley, part of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hindon is an excellent base from which to explore the many miles of local footpaths and bridleways and there are a variety of rural pursuits available including walking, riding, cycling and field sports. Sailing can be found at Shearwater near Warminster, racing is at Salisbury, Bath and Wincanton and golf at Tollard Royal, Warminster and Salisbury. There are several excellent dining pubs in the vicinity as well as many places of interest such as the Longleat Estate, Old Wardour Castle, Stourhead Gardens, Wilton House and the Fovant Badges.
