Nestled in the undulating countryside of the Wiltshire, Dorset border is this endearing thatch cottage built of traditional greenstone that has been sympathetically extended to further both the living and bedroom capacities.
Location
Barkers Hill is an sought after location situated between Semley and Donhead St Andrew within the boundary of Cranborne Chase national Landscape. The picturesque and idyllic Wiltshire village of Donhead St Andrew is found just north-east of Shaftesbury. Donheads (St Mary and St Andrew) have an excellent community spirit and also benefit from many clubs and societies. The area boasts three churches (in a benefice of six) and a superb Public House, The Foresters. The nearby village of Ludwell has an award-winning Butcher, village stores and a Post office, whilst Semley has its own Village Stores with Compton Macrae and its facilities nearby. Further options are available in hilltop town of Shaftesbury and the well-equipped village of Tisbury (with dental and GP practises).
Donhead St Andrew lies between 3 counties and offers arguably some of the best uninterrupted views of unspoiled countryside views in Wiltshire. Tisbury 4.5m, Salisbury 18.5m, Shaftesbury 5m. Trains to London Waterloo: Tisbury (110 mins), Salisbury (85 mins).
The Property
With an abundance of characterful features throughout, the ground floor accommodation has been cleverly thought out to create practical yet sociable spaces to be enjoyed by all. Of most recent extension is the main drawing room that takes benefit from triple aspect windows to both maximise natural light and the views across the surrounding countryside, whilst maintaining a cosy atmosphere centred around the exposed fireplace. A kitchen breakfast room features plentiful work surface and storage solutions, including a separate walk-in pantry cupboard, whilst bi-folding doors lead to the patio making for an idyllic eating area. Providing flexibility to the accommodation is the second reception room, currently utilised as an office. The principal bedroom is a fantastic suite that occupies the extension to the first floor along with an en-suite shower room and built in storage with the two remaining bedrooms found within the original footprint of the cottage. Exposed beam and stone work is prevalent throughout the cottage, including within the family bathroom which concludes the home.
Outside
Externally, the home continues to impress with an attractive, wrap around garden consisting of established lawn, mature shrubbery and vibrant, colourful planting all enclosed by an established hedgerow for privacy. The garden further consists of two cedar greenhouses, a pleasant patio and access into a single garage with a further store room, with utilities, positioned to the rear of the garage.
