Situation
The property is situated in the attractive village of Chilmark, renowned for its pretty cottages and houses. The village has a primary school, 13th Century church, reading room, cricket club and a fine traditional country pub, The Black Dog Inn. The larger village of Tisbury is just three miles away and has established a fine reputation for the quality of its independent shops as well as its wide range of amenities that include a sports/community centre, garage, doctor and dentist surgeries, vets and a train station with direct rail services to London (Waterloo 1hr 50 mins). It is also the home of Messums Wiltshire, a contemporary art centre and gallery housed in a magnificent historic tithe barn.
Chilmark is located between the Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury and the medieval cathedral city of Salisbury, both being around 12 miles away. The former has a good range of shops and facilities and is famous for the picturesque steeply cobbled street of Gold Hill whilst the latter has more comprehensive shopping, arts and leisure facilities, a railway station, and district hospital. The area’s other principal towns including Bath, Sherborne, Warminster and Wincanton are within driving distance as is the South Coast whilst the West Country and London are accessible via the A303/M3. Many families are drawn to South Wiltshire by the quality of life and the many excellent state and private schools in the area.
Set amidst the glorious undulating countryside of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs AONB, Chilmark is an excellent base from which to explore the many miles of footpaths and bridleways in the area 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 highly regarded 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.
