Hindon, Wiltshire

An exceptional country house offering just under 7000 sq ft of outstanding accommodation ideal for modern family living and entertaining

HAWKING DOWN HOUSE

Originally a Gothic Villa which has been gradually enlarged, the property sits in the most fabulous location with long reaching views over spectacular countryside towards Fonthill Abbey. Built of mellow local stone with large mullion windows under a slate roof, the architectural styles blend well together. The current owners purchased the property from the Fonthill Estate in 1997.

During their ownership, they have continued to restore the property in a tasteful and sympathetic way, whilst considerable updating was carried out in 2018. The gardens and terraces have also been beautifully landscaped to enhance the overall setting. In addition to 2 cottages, there is a large party barn, stunning garden room with dining space and extensive outbuildings. With extensive leisure facilities, paddocks and woodland, this property has something for everyone.
