Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With a prestigious location in the UNESCO Stonehenge World Heritage Site, this stunning home offers you the chance to stay on the doorstep of history. Six acres of meticulously designed gardens surround the 18th-century farmstead, including a formal walled garden with a pool, an orchard, and woodland extending to the banks of the River Avon – where you also have fishing rights. The interiors are just as attractive, featuring a triple-aspect living space, a country kitchen (complete with a well-stocked pantry), and a home cinema room. Meanwhile, the external studio, with floor-to-ceiling woodland views, is an ideal spot for quiet work. There's no shortage of picturesque walks around Amesbury – including to lesser-known prehistoric sites like Woodhenge – and Salisbury is twenty minutes away.

Home truths
The housekeeper lives in an independent cottage attached to the main home.
While not all the bedrooms and bathrooms have been photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
There's an unfenced swimming pool and hidden ponds in the garden here. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there's parking available on the premises.
You'll need to climb stairs to the bedrooms at this home, and there are uneven surfaces in the garden, so it may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
Your host requests that you respect quiet hours after 10pm.
Events may be held here with prior approval from your host.
