| Dating back to the 18th century, Rose Cottage is the right hand one of a pair of charming cottages built in mellow local stone.
Fonthill Bishop and neighbouring Fonthill Gifford are both ancient hamlets, the latter being the site of Fonthill Abbey, now destroyed, which was one of the most remarkable buildings in England in the early 19th century. The villages border Fonthill Lake where lovely walks can be enjoyed, the local countryside being some of the finest and most unspoilt in southern England.
Local places of interest include the ruins of 14th century Wardour Castle, Palladian style Wilton House, not to mention Longleat, (many attractions for children inc. Safari Park) and the beautiful National Trust gardens at Stourhead with their lakes, temples and specimen trees. Pretty villages and excellent country pubs in the area are too numerous to mention. From Fonthill there is easy access to the A303 making London no more than a 2 hour drive.
