property sits within Nadder Valley, one of Wiltshire`s most sought after
locations.

within a barn and arena. There is also a garage block with lapsed
planning permission for conversion into accommodation. A further

connected to mains water and electricity and comprises two loose
boxes, a third loose box/storeroom, a feed room, tack room, cloakroom,
small kitchen area with hot and cold water supply and a large attached
hay barn, and the small yard outside which can be closed off. There is
an adjacent 40m x 20m outdoor arena with Clopf and silica sand surface and convenient inward/outward opening gate, four paddocks with mains fed automatic water troughs and two small `starvation` enclosures.
The land is enclosed by a mixture of stock fencing, post-and-rail fencing, and hedges. The soil is predominantly greensand, which, combined with the gently sloping land, means it is well-drained.
There is a hard-core track leading from the second entrance point into the first paddock to enable a lorry to access the septic tank.
In total the property sits in just under 9 acres, most of this is paddock land.
EXTERNAL
The house is approached via a brick drive linking the two entrance
points, both with brick pillars. The original garage has been converted
into a useful workshop, with a substantial four-bay garage being created
as a replacement, which also benefits from an additional storage area;
two of the garage doors are electric. The gardens and orchard area lie
predominantly on the south side of the house and are flanked by mature
trees, shrubs and hedging. There is a large south-facing terrace running
the full width of the property, which offers the best views of the gardens,
land and far-reaching views beyond. Under one corner of the terrace is
a small garden tool room.
The property benefits from 24KW solar panels located away from the
house and includes two solar edge inverters and two Tesla powerwall
batteries. They provide all electricity for the property with excess being
sold back to the grid approximately 8 months of the year. This has
resulted in an EPC A rating.
