About this property
Delightful 18th Century Converted Stables in quiet location with nearby footpath
This charming and spacious holiday home is set in the Courtyard of Wick Farm down a small lane off a minor road. It is delightfully quiet and secluded and yet within a few minutes of the small town of Tisbury which has shops and a railway station which has regular services to London, Waterloo. All the main rooms have views across the unspoilt Nadder valley. Tisbury is a great centre for walking and for exploring Dorset. The historic cities of Salisbury and Bath as well as Wilton are easily reached for days out and it is just over an hour by car to the stunning Dorset coast. The original stone arched door and windows are complemented by hardwood windows and maple floors throughout. The cottage is light and airy with an open plan downstairs and open tread stairs to the first floor. The newly fitted kitchen, double glazing and electric heating make this a great location for year round holidays for families or two couples.
The stables look onto the Vale of Wardour which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. There are lawns in front of the building and a wooded bank to the rear and 10 acres of field surrounding the courtyard. Parking is right outside the door and you can walk directly onto the public footpath.
Many years ago Wick Farm was an active dairy farm of some 400 acres. The present owners purchased the property in 1986 and have lovingly restored the farmhouse and surrounding buildings over many years. The oldest part of the farmhouse dates from about 1680 and The Stables are thought to have been built around 1800. Most of the buildings are constructed from the local Chilmark stone and though formerly thatched now have tiled roofs. There is still the old farm well (padlocked grill) and remains of the old bull pen. The stone troughs are now filled with flowers not water! During the summer months there may be sheep grazing the field but they are kept well away from the property by fences and a cattle grid. It is a thoroughly delightful spot,

A lovely cottage, well equipped, in the middle of a network of footpath that take you to the play area, river and village. We were delighted by the village of Tisbury, it was particularly great to find there was an outdoor pool.
Lovely property, very quiet location surrounded by countryside. An easy 10 min walk to the village and the train station. Host was very responsive. We travelled with two young children under 3 and without access to a car. This property had a great balance for us of seclusion and countryside while still being close enough to transport, shops and a playground in the village.
We hired the cottage for four days for my son's wedding. The cottage is in a beautiful setting and close to local amenities. I would highly recommend this cottage and look forward to returning again in the future.
We had a lovely time in peaceful surrounds. Tisbury is very conveniently located for many days out. We had a great dinner at the boot inn. The cottage was beautiful with lots of lovely touches.
We had a lovely stay at this cottage. Well equipped kitchen and beautiful cottage.Our daughter enjoyed playjng with the games provide and enjoyed looking at the sheep around the farm. Thanks for the lovely stay!
Very comfortable, clean cottage with everything we needed. Such a quiet peaceful location, lovely to sit outside in the sunshine for breakfast. Table football was a fun added bonus! We used this as a base for a couple of days visiting Longleat which worked well - less than 30 min drive. Hope to return!
We enjoyed our stay at the stables, the house was perfect and the location great for trips to the surroundings. Also, you get everything you need in Tisbury, which is a small but lovely village. It's quiet and cozy and we found the beds comfortable.
We've had a wonderfull stay, in this spacious and well kept vacation-home. The house offers plenty of space for children to play, both inside and outside.
Tisbury is a pleasant village with all necessary facilities.
We really had a nice family holiday here.
Had a lovely easter weekend staying at the stables whilst visiting friends in the area. Very quiet an easily accessible into tisbury village for amenities. Very convenient for stonehenge where we visited. Anyone looking at the property an wondering if to book do it you wont be disappointed.
We had a lovely stay at Wick farm, blown away by the property and location. We didn't want for anything, the stables had everything we could need and was very clean and comfortable with a detailed booklet, as well as tips on where to go in the area.
Would highly recommend to other visitors to the area. Couldn't fault it.
The location was amazing and the cottage was perfect for us.
Thanks.

About the host
Hosted by Mrs Anne Evans
Wick Farm is the home of Anne and Nick Evans who live in the farmhouse most of the time. We have spent many years doing up and restoring the property and it is where we raised our 3 sons who now live in London. Every year we do a little more to both the house and garden to improve the place and have a regular redecorating programme to keep both the house and the stables in excellent condition
