Location

The North Dorset Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury is famed for the steep cobbled street of Gold Hill, which remains a popular and historic attraction. The town’s rich history reaches back to King Alfred, who founded a nunnery there in 888. Shaftesbury is a delightful, community-oriented town with an attractive and bustling high street. Everyday requirements are catered for by a farmers market, cafés, various retail shops and supermarkets; there is a veterinary practice and good cottage hospital.

Shaftesbury is well connected by road to Gillingham, Salisbury, Sherborne, Warminster and Yeovil, as well as to the south coast. Its proximity to the A303 makes London accessible for the motorist.

Railway stations at Gillingham (4.5 miles) and Tisbury (8 miles) offer frequent, mainline services to London (Waterloo) and the west country. The area’s wide appeal to families is enhanced by the choice of excellent local state and independent schools, which include Shaftesbury, Port Regis, Sherborne, Gillingham and Bryanston. Shaftesbury offers tranquil, glorious countryside with miles of public footpaths and bridleways, and is nestled among a host of traditionally English villages to explore in Blackmore Vale, Cranborne Chase and Wiltshire Downs.

The Property

The accommodation is entered via a useful porch before leading through to the main residence whereby a central dining hall gives access to all aspects of the property including a kitchen breakfast room and separate dual aspect sitting room. An array of large windows help create an inviting sense of natural light throughout whilst also giving pleasant views over the surrounding garden. The largest of the three bedrooms takes benefit from an ensuite shower room whilst the remaining rooms are of comfortable proportions. Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom.

Outside

Front: A hardstanding driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles before leading to a double garage, complete with power and lighting.

Rear: The garden, of which is a wraparound of the bungalow, consists of several lawn areas intertwined with established flower borders, shrubbery and trees to provide a private space to be enjoyed by all. There remains ample potential to the gardens to be landscaped to your own desires whilst it is also noted that the owned land extends up throughout the rear bank and has previously been manicured to create an elevated seating area taking in views across the Blackmore Vale.
