A detached and extended spacious bungalow with lovely large south facing
garden located on the edge of the town.
Paddock Piece is a detached bungalow built in the late 1960s and is
constructed of brick elevations under a tiled roof. The current owners have
extended to the rear creating a superb open plan, contemporary living area
that takes full advantage of the southerly aspect.
On entering the dwelling, a door from the hall leads to the main living area,
comprising sitting room, kitchen/family room and dining room. The sitting room
with open fire provides access to the triple aspect kitchen/family room
extension and dining room. The family room has two sets of sliding doors
providing views and access to the terrace and garden and being south west
facing brings in plenty of natural light. This is a very sociable space, open
to the kitchen which has a range of double height and floor standing units,
island, integrated appliances, with views over the garden.
The hall leads to a study, storage cupboard, utility space, shower room and
double bedroom at one end. At the other end there are 2 double bedrooms, a
single bedroom and family bathroom.
Outside the third of an acre plot provides ample parking, including garage,
mature gardens and terrace to the rear.
**Situation**
The property is found on the southern edge of the town in a quiet residential
road with a small number of other houses and bungalows. Shaftesbury has an
excellent range of shops and amenities including a delicatessen, cafes, pubs,
restaurant, niche retailers, boutique hotel, banks, three supermarkets, small
hospital, library, health centre and an arts centre. The area has good
communication links with the A30, A350 and A303 and the nearby town of
Gillingham offers a mainline railway station to London Waterloo and the
Southwest. The area is renowned for its schools, both state and private and
the town has primary schools and a secondary school.
**Directions**
From the middle of the town head to the Royal Chase roundabout and take the
exit for Salisbury. Take the first right hand turning towards Melbury Abbas.
After approximately 200 yards turn right and continue down the road where
Paddock Piece is located on the left hand side.
**Outside**
The property is approached from the road onto a tarmac drive, where there is
ample parking, car port and a single garage with an up and over door, power
and light. The front garden has flower beds and well - maintained hedges. Gates
at either side of the dwelling give access to the rear. On one side is a metal
shed, bin storage area, power and outside tap. The rear south facing garden is
a lovely feature of the property with 3 distinct areas comprising a large
terrace, lawn, vegetable garden and fruit orchard.
The elevated terrace, edged with flower beds, is a real sun trap with views
across the garden and beyond.
Steps from the terrace lead down to the lawn which is well maintained and has
flower and shrub borders giving plenty of colour as well as some mature trees
and hedges.
Beyond the lawn is a large and extremely productive vegetable garden with
raised beds, soft fruits and fruit trees including pear, apple, cherry, plum
and fig. The whole garden is a real delight, mature, private and south facing.
