**UNDER OFFER FIRST VIEWING**SWALLOWS AGENCY are delighted to offer this spacious Period detached house in a rural location within the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The National Trust Estate of Stourhead is close by, with its beautiful house, gardens and farm shop.
Longleat is also nearby as well as sailing at the attractive Shearwater Lakes. There is a local shop, post office and public house in the nearby village of Maiden Bradley with a wider range of facilities available in the nearby town of Mere. More extensive facilities can be found in Bruton, Frome, Gillingham, Wincanton and Shaftesbury.
Communication links to the area are excellent with the A303 only 3 miles away providing fast road access to the M3, London and the south west. Mainline railway stations are: Gillingham to London Waterloo; Bruton, Frome, Westbury and Warminster to London Paddington.
Set back from the road, the house is approached through an in and out sweeping driveway. There are 2 entrances to the house. To the left you enter the garden room which leads onto a boot room and utility room with WC. There is then a door through to the inner hallway.
To the right of the house is another entrance into a small porch leading into the sitting room with an open fire and stairs up to the first floor. There are 2 additional reception rooms which would be suitable as a dining room and living room/TV/study with another open fireplace. The reception rooms all have wooden floors. The kitchen has a tiled floor and a pantry. There is a gas range, dishwasher and small fridge.
On the first floor are 4 good sized double bedrooms (1 with a cupboard), a bathroom and shower room.
It should be noted that the house is not in immaculate condition but offers excellent space.
Outside the gardens surround the house and there is also a separate Studio/annexe included which would be suitable for a variety of uses. There is a large open plan living area with a wood burner, a kitchenette and a bathroom.
Suitable for pets. Oil central heating. Would suit a very keen gardener as the gardens will need attention.
There is also a single garage next to the house and a separate range of out buildings, including 2 loose boxes/workshop. (NB - not for equestrian use).
The house is available for a minimum 24 months tenancy.
