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 farmers’ market, cafés, charity shops, various retail shops, veterinary practice 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 miles of peaceful public footpaths and bridleways.

Offered to the market with no forward chain, this two-bedroom home makes for an ideal step onto the property ladder or investment buy. The ground floor hosts a kitchen with floor and wall mounted storage cupboards as well as room for free-standing white goods whilst the sitting dining room is positioned to the rear of the property to overlook the garden. Upstairs, both bedrooms are comfortable double proportions whilst the family bathroom includes a modern shower over bath unit. Of great benefit to the property is the recently updated boiler system and double glazing throughout.
