The North Dorset Saxon hilltop market town of Shaftesbury is famed for the iconic cobbled street of Gold Hill and rich history going back to the times of King Alfred. Shaftesbury is a delightful community orientated town with an attractive and bustling High Street that provides most everyday requirements including a farmer's market, cafés, charity shops, various retail shops and a cottage hospital. Families are drawn to this area by the quality of life and excellent choice of state and independent schools including Port Regis, Clayesmore, Sandroyd and Bryanston amongst many others. Shaftesbury also offers several ways to explore the stunning countryside and traditional English villages of the Blackmore Vale, Cranborne Chase and Wiltshire Downs with their many miles of public footpaths and bridleways.

The local road network offers strong connections to the other main towns in the region including Gillingham, Salisbury, Sherborne, Warminster and Yeovil as well as to the South Coast. In addition the A303 links with the M3 that makes London accessible for the motorist. There are railway stations at Gillingham (4.5 miles) and Tisbury (8 miles) with mainline services to London (Waterloo) and the West Country.

Offering in excess of 1100sqft of accommodation, the home first enters into a useful hallway with immediate access to the family room that serves as an ideal relaxation spot, or home office if desired before then leading through to the open plan kitchen breakfast room that has been altered by the current owners to form a fantastic, family or entertaining space filled with natural light. An abundance of work surface and storage cupboards are combined with built-in and free-standing appliances to form a practical working kitchen. The ground floor is completed by a useful cloakroom and under stair cupboard. Located on the first floor is the generous ‘L’ shape sitting room that enjoys access onto a south facing balcony whilst an imitation log burner adds warmth. The principal bedroom is also located on the first floor, spanning the full width of the property whilst also benefiting from a contemporarily styled ensuite shower room. The second floor plays host to the three remaining bedrooms, all of which are well-portioned, with the three-piece family bathroom concluding the accommodation.
