Description

This imposing house is nestled on the western side of Shaftesbury in an enviable position affording fabulous far-reaching views and stunning sunsets.

This much loved 4300 sq. ft home has been in the same ownership for nearly 27 years and is immaculate throughout. It sits proudly overlooking the beautifully maintained gardens and incredible views to Duncliffe Woods and the Blackmore Vale beyond. The property offers versatile accommodation that will suit a range of buyer’s needs.
The entrance hall draws you immediately into the dining hall across polished cherry wood flooring to the bay window and fantastic views. The ground floor also includes a ‘hotel worthy' bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobe and huge en-suite, and a sitting room with adjoining garden room that all benefit from the views and sunset. Further accommodation includes a study, cloakroom, well-equipped kitchen/diner, a boot room with dog shower, utility and W/C. There is a chic and sophisticated feel throughout the property highlighted by warm wood tones, high gloss finishes and large glass windows.
Upstairs there are three very spacious double bedrooms, all with significant amounts of built in storage and ensuite bathrooms as well as a walk-in airing cupboard and boiler room.

OUTSIDE
At the front of the property there is off road parking for multiple vehicles secured by gates, a double garage with up and over door and a car port. A side door leads to the boot room and utility room whilst a gate leads to a vegetable garden with lawn, fruit trees, an established vine and timber shed. A further gate leads to the patio that features a glass windbreak that provides shelter without obstructing the views. The garden is predominantly lawn and gently slopes away to an area of mixed woodland. A number of mature shrubs and bushes are planted to add colour and interest and a ‘mower’ shed is located half way down. The whole plot extends to nearly 5.5 acres.

SERVICES
Mains water and electricity are connected to the property. Drainage is private, a brand new treatment plant has recently been installed an will meet all current regulations. A gas fired boiler provides heating and hot water. One of the bedrooms uses an electric hot water system. Ultrafast broadband is available and all mobile phone networks have good coverage.

AML
Estate Agents are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property. W&W use a specialist service called "Guild 365"  to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale). There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: W&W receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.

SITUATION
Shaftesbury is a Saxon Hilltop town which provides an eclectic mix of well-known and independent shops, cafes and pubs as well as a good range of everyday amenities such as opticians, dentist and a cottage hospital. For a more extensive retail experience the larger cities of Salisbury and Bath are 30 - 45 minutes’ drive. The area is well known for the large choice of State and Independent primary and secondary schools and a variety of leisure pursuits including horse riding, walking, golf, rugby and more. Communications are good with the A30 and A350 passing through the town and there is a mainline railway station at Gillingham (5 miles). Local international airports are at Bristol, Exeter and Southampton.
