The property occupies a pleasant location on the edge of the popular village of Bishopstone, which is a much sought after village which lies in the heart of the Chalk Valley and is part of the South Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and known for its rolling downland countryside across which there are opportunities for walking, riding and cycling in addition to fishing in the River Ebble.

The village is friendly and supportive with the nearby villages of Broad Chalke and Coombe Bissett having well regarded primary schools, public houses, community shops and post office with Broad Chalke also having a cafe facility (The Hub) in addition to a doctors surgery. A more extensive range of services and facilities can be found both in the small market town of Wilton which is approximately 3 miles to the north east and the Cathedral city of Salisbury which is approximately 6 miles to the east where there is a mainline railway station in to London. Salisbury District Hospital is 6 miles away and the railway station approximately 7 miles. There is also a regular bus service which runs along the valley road.

The Cathedral city of Salisbury has an excellent range of educational, recreational, leisure and shopping facilities which combine with a twice weekly market and trunk roads from the City provide access to nearby centres as well as the A303 which provides direct access to the east and the Thames Valley corridor in addition to the West Country.

Through the large electric gates parking for several vehicles is set over a very smart, block paved drive leading up to a oak timber triple-bay garage. The garage is bespoke and has been built by a reputable local company based in the New Forest, this is evident for the clever configuration of the bays. The two side bays are open and operate as car ports whilst the central bay is capable of housing a motor home/caravan.

The garden is laid mainly to lawn with a raised terrace leading across the back of the house and winding its way down the garden past various outbuildings to a decked area and then on to a private gate/stile leading to open countryside, owned and maintained by Wiltshire Wildlife Trust providing plenty of fantastic walks.
