Queens Square, Kilmington

Ask a child or even an adult to draw a house, the likely result might be a picture that immediately feels reminiscent of the symmetrical façade in the style of the much loved Georgian design with a happy family standing in front. Queens Square is just that, a pleasing façade and internally filled with distinctive original, regional features that one might hope to find, that have been seamlessly integrated with a quietly confident modernisation that embraces the modernity of family life.

Set within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape the house is immersed in rolling countryside yet offers superb connectivity. An attractive vestibule opens into the central entrance hall with the two original reception rooms lying either side. One serves as a cosy family room whilst the other is the elegantly styled kitchen featuring an original Blue Lias flagstone floor and an enormous fireplace which now houses the Everhot. The house has been thoughtfully modernised over the years, as evidenced here by the connection of the kitchen and dining area, which lies a couple of steps down from the kitchen, with a more recent extension comprising a delightful drawing room beyond, opening through French doors onto the garden, and a garden room to the side.

An inner hall has at various times served as a playroom for younger children, a place for homework and an office, but today has a more practical use, demonstrating how readily the house can evolve with the needs of a family. Beyond is a cloakroom and utility room and access to the side of the house where the parking is found. Queens Square offers five bedrooms, two of which mirror the shape and proportions of the kitchen and family room below. Both enjoy far reaching views. Off the landing are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom with both shower and bath. The principal bedroom is within the recent extension and offers a dressing area and ensuite bathroom.

Outside to the side of Queens Square a five-bar gate opens into a courtyard with parking for several cars, set before characterful historic farm buildings. These currently provide valuable storage, workshop and log-store and for those with aspirations for a “Grand Design”, pre-planning advice has been obtained, with support indicated for their conversion into ancillary accommodation, a studio, workshop, games room or other similar incidental use.

An extensive rear garden is populated with mature walnut, apple and plum trees. In spring and summer, the gardens spring to life with a wildflower meadow bursting into bloom and perennials adorn the beds and boarders.

The property is located in a rural location in the Cranborne Chase National Landscape with a strong community, church, riding school and well-supported social club. The village of Stourton is 1.5 miles away, with its farm shop and National Trust gardens at Stourhead, while Zeals, 3 miles away, provides a post office and village shop, an excellent local pub and a primary school. Charming Mere has a good range of services, while the town of Gillingham is 7 miles away, offering a choice of shops, amenities, supermarkets and a mainline station. Popular Bruton (6.8 miles) and Frome (9.5 miles) both offer numerous eateries, artistic and educational options.

The larger town of Warminster, 11 miles away, is an excellent destination for shopping and leisure facilities. The area is well connected by road, with the A303 providing access west in the direction of Taunton, and east towards London and Salisbury, via the A36. Airports can be found at Bristol, Bournemouth and Southampton.
