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.

A detached bungalow in need of some modernisation, offering great potential to improve. The property is located on the outskirts of Shaftesbury yet still walking distance to amenities, and is offered for sale with no forward chain. The property is entered into the hallway through a small porch, with the sitting room on the right which has a focal fireplace and a bay window giving plenty of natural light. On the opposite side of the hallway is the main bedroom, which also benefits from a bay window. Further along the hallway are two additional bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a dining room. At the far end of the property is a small kitchen with a larder cupboard, and a bathroom, with a large garden room at the end opening onto a generous rear garden.

To the front of the property is a small front garden, which is laid to lawn, and a gated driveway providing tandem parking leading to a single garage. The rear garden is laid to lawn with flower beds and the space for vegetable plots.
