South Street, Great Wishford, Salisbury, SP2

Beehive House is a picturesque and very appealing Grade II listed detached house, which originally dates from the mid-17th Century. With its pretty stone and flint elevations, the cottage retains a beautiful external appearance. 

Internally, the well-proportioned accommodation retains many of the original period features and now comprises; a dining room with inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and mosaic parquet flooring, a living room with feature fireplace and doors to the rear garden, versatile study/playroom off the dining room and Kitchen/Breakfast room. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the third bedroom and cloakroom. Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms and a large, modern family bathroom. The house is presented in very good order whilst retaining the potential to extend into the area currently occupied by the garage (subject to planning consent). Beehive House will make a fine home for a young family, for retirement or as a weekend retreat in a sought after part of Wiltshire.

Externally, Beehive House is set nicely back from the lane and has a pretty approach through an arch in the tall beech hedge and over a path with steps up to the front door. There are wonderfully kept, pretty gardens on two levels, to the south and east of the house with neat lawns surrounded by lovely stocked borders, beautiful rose garden and high hedges for privacy. To the west of the house a path leads through another small garden to the back entrance and to the attached Double Garage 5.49m (18ft 0in) x 5.26m (17ft 3in) and the off road parking.

The house is pleasantly situated close to the centre of Great Wishford, a popular and thriving village in the picturesque Wylye valley and surrounded by some of the prettiest countryside in this part of Wiltshire. The village has a church, a successful primary school, a public house (The Royal Oak), and there is a local shop nearby in Stapleford. More local amenities are close at hand in Wilton and it is only a short drive into the Cathedral City of Salisbury where there is a busy shopping area around the market square, a theatre (The Playhouse), cinema and art centre. There is excellent walking, riding and cycling country all around with Grovelly Woods to the south, the Wylye Valley to the east and west and Salisbury Plain to the north. There are many other opportunities for sport and recreation with golf, tennis, rugby and football clubs nearby, racing at Salisbury and motor racing at Thruxton. For those who commute to work outside the area or travel on a regular basis the A303 is only five minutes away bringing the West Country and the business centres along the M3 and M25 corridors within easy reach. Heathrow and Southampton airports are also within reasonable driving distance, and there are fast regular trains to London (Waterloo) from Salisbury station.
