4 Castle Gardens is part of a development of fifteen properties for over 55’s built by Blue Cedar Homes in 2013. No 4 is a terraced house with rendered elevations under a pitched slate roof. The accommodation is sensibly configured and adaptable; for example, the dining area could easily be converted into a bedroom making use of the adjoining shower room on the ground floor. Internally the property has been finished to a high standard with engineered oak floorboards in the hall and kitchen/breakfast room, good ceiling heights and light and bright accommodation. French doors open from both the sitting room and the kitchen/breakfast room onto a delightful private rear garden. Other attributes include under floor heating downstairs and in the upstairs bathrooms, gas fired central heating, a high standard of finish to the bathrooms and kitchen with granite worktops and a Neff dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, induction hob and double ovens. Overall, the property feels particularly light and spacious and this is the only terraced house within the close to have a separate kitchen and a dual aspect living room. Council Tax Band E.

The property is approached off Bimport, through an electric gate into a brick paved courtyard; No 4 is on the right hand side and faces the delightful communal gardens. No 4 has a single dedicated garage with electric door and car parking space outside; in addition there are several spaces for visitor parking. There is an attractive rear garden with a paved terrace flanked by timber fencing on both sides. The garden is laid to lawn with a well stocked flower and shrub borders and mature copper beech trees.

The communal gardens to the front provide a delightful setting for the development and comprise a variety of mature trees including silver birch and copper beech and well stocked and tended flower and shrub borders. There is a garden house with terracing centrally and secluded seating areas located within the gardens.

Castle Gardens lies at the end of Bimport, within an easy level walk of the town centre. Shaftesbury, a Saxon hilltop town which dates back to the times of Alfred the Great who founded the Abbey in the 9th century, has a good range of facilities. These include cafes, restaurants, niche retailers, a boutique hotel, banks, supermarkets, a small hospital, library, health centre and an arts centre. More comprehensive facilities can be found in the Cathedral city of Salisbury to the east, the Georgian spa town of Bath to the north and Sherborne to the west. There are mainline railway stations at both Gillingham and Tisbury (London Waterloo) and the A303 lies some 8 miles to the north, giving access to the south west and London, via the M3.
