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.

The cottage predominantly consists of an open plan living area with dual aspect windows allowing for plentiful natural light throughout whilst several extensions to the home now incorporate a kitchen, lobby and useful cloakroom all on the ground floor. Upstairs the charm and potential continue with two double bedrooms and a modern shower room.

Rear: Taking full advantage of the southerly aspect, the garden is a true sun trap that combines a patio area with a lawn, all whilst set against the backdrop of the Blackmore Vale in the distance. A storage shed also features.

All mains services are connected.
