The property consists of a main house with two bedrooms, a guest house in the grounds and planning permission for further accommodation.
Sited on one side of a small, green valley - overlooking a lake and a 13th century church - the house is in an idyllic setting. The house has been referred to as a ‘lost Modernist masterpiece’ due to the nature of its setting in the secluded hamlet of Ansty (and also, perhaps, in reference to the fact that it has been little published).
Some minor improvements have recently been made to the interior (including the addition of double-glazed windows) but the original quality and character of the property remains. The property consists of a main house (with 2 bedrooms), a summerhouse designed by Alison & Peter Smithson, a double garage, an attractive garden and terraces. There is also planning permission to build a large annex to the summerhouse, with toilet and shower/WC, making the prospect of adding further bedroom accommodation. The site is 1/3 acre in total.
Ansty is on the Dorset / Wiltshire border and is approximately 6 miles from Shaftesbury and 12 miles from Salisbury. Tisbury, a small town that has train station with services running to London Waterloo (journey time approximately 1hr 50mins), is approximately 2 miles away. Ansty is steeped in history – apart from the church there is a renowned Neolithic long barrow (and even a maypole). Ansty is reached by road via quiet country lanes between the A30 and the A303.
