side and rear aspects, a fine briquette fireplace and polished hardwood
floors. Adjacent, is a snug with Stovax inset log burner set into a polished
stone chimneybreast and next to this is a modern fully fitted kitchen/diner
with a range of floor and wall cabinets, island unit with inset sink and
coffee bar all fitted with quartz worktops. Along with feature lighting, space
for a range style oven/hob and an American fridge/freezer is a wonderfully
spacious and shelved built - in larder. All of these rooms enjoy a sunny rear
aspect and are fitted with modern sliding doors which extend the accommodation
out onto a broad paved terrace overlooking the gardens. Off the kitchen is a
utility room housing the gas fired boiler, further cabinets, and
worksurface/sink, along with space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble
dryer, and an external door to the garden.
At the other end of the entrance hall is an oak and part glazed door leading
to an inner hall where you will find three ground floor bedrooms, a family
bathroom with bath/shower, wash basin and WC, a separate cloakroom, coat and
boot cupboards and a winding staircase with understairs storage. On the first
floor is the master bedroom suite comprising a large double bedroom with
stunning Velux balcony window allowing for far reaching views and an ideal

room.

**Situation**
The historic, hilltop, Saxon town of Shaftesbury offers a vibrant High Street
with a variety of national and independent retailers for your everyday needs
including opticians, dentist, doctors and a cottage hospital. There are a
selection of supermarkets nearby including Tesco, Lidl and a Morrison
convenience store in the town centre. Communications are excellent with the
A350 running from north to the south coast through the town and the A303 to
London can be reached in around 10 minutes by car. The nearby towns of
Gillingham and Tisbury include mainline railway stations with services from
London Waterloo to the West Country. The area is well known for the large
choice of good State and Independent primary and secondary schools and a
variety of outdoor and countryside activities including golf, cycling,
shooting and horse riding.
**Outside**
The property is approached over a smart brick paved apron and then wooden
gates to the spacious gravelled parking area with room for six or more
vehicles. To one side is an ‘over - sized’ triple garage and open car barn that
can provide cover for a caravan or campervan. To the side of this is an
attached storage shed with open storage behind. Pathways along each side of
the property are gated (one side sealed) and provide access to the rear.
The rear garden is a true delight and extends over 80m ( 265ft ) into Pensbury
Woods. Across the full width of the property, and accessible from all the main
reception rooms is the large ( 750 sq. ft ) paved terrace incorporating an
elegant metal balustrade and arch over steps down to an area of lawn edged
with mature borders planted with a variety of shrubs and bushes. Stone steps
lead down again to a second area of lawn with a feature circular pond and
fountain. This part of the garden also features mature borders and hedging, a
small shed and a quirky tiled former summerhouse where you can read a book and
enjoy a coffee. More steps lead down to the orchard of apple and pear trees,
and to the woods beyond. In all the plot extends to nearly 0. 6 acre.
