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. 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. 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 traditionally English villages of the Blackmore Vale, Cranborne Chase and Wiltshire Downs with their many miles of public footpaths and bridleways.

Located in an ideal position on the edge of this quiet cul de sac at the bottom of Castle Hill, this comfortable property has been extended over the years and would make a lovely family home. Shaftesbury town centre is just a short walk from Castle Hill Close, there is a children’s playground nearby and the Abbey CE (VC) primary school is 0.6 miles (15 mins walk) away in nearby St James. The spacious sitting room with picture window to the front offers lots of natural light. The dining room (originally the kitchen/diner) spans the width of the property and could easily be reconfigured and extended into the current kitchen and sun room to create a large, open plan kitchen diner, ideal for today’s more relaxed living style. The current kitchen is modern with lots of storage and built-in oven and hob. The adjoining sunroom, which overlooks the garden, has access to the large garage. There is also a useful downstairs cloakroom located off the entrance hall. Upstairs there are two spacious double bedrooms, the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, as well as a third single bedroom. The family bathroom has been converted to a wet room for ease of use.

Outside the driveway provides parking for two cars while the larger than usual garage has power and lighting. The sunny, garden at the rear is enclosed by wooden panel fencing and has a large patio which offers plenty of space for garden furniture essential to make the most of this perfect suntrap.
