DESCRIPTION
High Croft is an attractive detached house set in an elevated position and surrounded by lovely gardens with far reaching views to the Great Ridge in the distance. The house was built in the mid 1960’s and in more recent times it has been cleverly extended, and very well maintained and presented by the present owners. The Accommodation features a large L shaped "double aspect" drawing room with double doors opening into the recently built garden room. Upstairs there are three generous double bedrooms including a Master bedroom with dressing area and en-suite shower room, and a further family bathroom.

SITUATION
The house is well located on the western fringes of the sought after village of Swallowcliffe, a pretty hamlet nestling in the Nadder Valley, and surrounded by some of the most attractive countryside in this part of the West Country. Services including post office, convenience store, doctors and dentists are available nearby in either Fovant or Tisbury and a reasonably regular bus service passes through the village to Tisbury and Salisbury. This part of South Wiltshire has rightly become renowned for its pleasant countryside, lovely views and extensive walking and riding. There are many other good leisure opportunities in the area and Tisbury has a mainline station with fast regular trains to London (Waterloo) from 105 minutes.

Garage; (23’ x 9’) A generous single garage built into the ground below the terrace in front of the house. Being under ground the garage does sometimes have drainage problems but it is adequate if used as a car port. There is ample space for the construction of an alternative garage.

Gardens; The gardens at High Croft are a notable feature of the property and total something in the region of 0.6 acres. To the front the gardens are laid to lawns with borders and some attractive specimen trees. To the rear the gardens continue to rise up and away from the house and are terraced to form three distinct areas. Behind the house is a generous stone terrace area with retaining walls and steps leading up to a level lawn with more mature shrub borders and a small pond (with a pumped water feature). A path leads up to a less formal area of gardens with a section of raised beds and on again up to the woods. From the rear gardens you can enjoy similar views to the house looking across Tisbury Row and up to the Great Ridge.
