  • "Amazing house."

    So much space and so comfortable. Perfect for friends get togethers to family/families catching up. Very child friendly and even play room and nursery setup. Our only reason for not giving full marks for facilities was due to nowhere to hang clothes in 3 of the bedrooms and shortage of mirrors. But it wasn’t a deal breaker. Wouldn’t stop us rebooking

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Underhill House."

    The property is large, nicely presented and has all the facilities you could wish for. The bedrooms are comfortable with plenty of bathrooms, which makes it perfect for larger families or a group holiday. The truly special feature of this property is the spectacular, uninterrupted view across the countryside. It's a breath of fresh air! The location is perfect for relaxing as the setting is quiet, and within a short drive of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs when you wish to be venture out. The owner was very helpful and responsive, sharing lots of local recommendations for our visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

  • "What a fantastic place to relax."

    The views from the house were spectacular. This place would suit a family get together as there is so much space to be together or to get a bit of piece. The hosts were really helpful when we needed to ask any questions and they were all resolved. We would highly recommend this to anyone.

The property

Hindon 3.3 miles.

Underhill House is a striking detached residence offering over 4,000 sq ft of light-filled living space, thoughtfully arranged across two beautifully finished floors.

With generous rooms, sweeping views, and stylish design throughout, it’s a wonderful choice for large families or groups seeking comfort, elegance, and room to unwind.

Step inside to a bright and welcoming reception hall, complete with handy storage and a cloakroom.

From here, the ground floor unfolds into a series of inviting living areas, including a dual-aspect drawing room with full-height picture windows, French doors out to the terrace, and a feature fireplace.

At the heart of the home lies the exceptional kitchen/dining/breakfast room, a sociable open-plan space, a large central island with breakfast bar, and a wine chiller.

A walk-in larder and French doors opening to the rear terrace make this a space that’s both practical and perfect for entertaining.

Off the kitchen, you’ll find a generous playroom and a spacious utility/laundry room with access to a side terrace.

Upstairs, a wide landing leads to five bedrooms and a second cloakroom.

The principal suite enjoys far-reaching views and a contemporary en-suite bathroom, with an adjoining bedroom.

Three further bedrooms each benefit from their own stylish en-suite, offering privacy and comfort for all.

Venturing into the surrounding area, a visit to the intricate Elizabethan architecture of Longleat House and grounds is a must, with the estate also home to the UK's first safari park.

Find yourself mesmerised by Stourhead, a stunning 20th-century landscape garden with a magnificent lake reflecting classical temples, mystical grottos, and rare specimens of trees and shrubs.

For those who adore history, Old Wardour Castle and the 49-metre tall, triangular-framed Alfred's Tower offer intriguing insights into the past, and the Gold Hill Museum houses a diverse and interesting collection relating to the rich history of the town.

For eateries, there is a great selection of local pubs, such as the Grosvenor Arms in Hindon and Beckford Arms.

For an invigorating outdoor adventure, the nearby National Trust's Cley Hill presents a satisfying challenge with rewarding views.

Local attractions include The Newt, Bruton, Frome and Stonehenge.

Underhill House is a beautifully balanced home with space to gather, space to retreat, and thoughtful touches throughout, all wrapped in a stunning countryside setting.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £600.
