Constructed of stone and rendered elevations under a largely pitched tiled roof, Melbury Beacon has been imaginatively extended over the years and offers expansive accommodation over two floors. The vaulted garden room is the most recent extension with a recently installed woodburner. This extension has significantly enhanced the accommodation. The property is sensibly configured with flexible accommodation and has spectacular views all around; other attributes worthy of mention include parquet flooring in the hall, dining room and sitting room and an open fireplace. The sitting room and garden room have bi-fold doors which can be opened up to provide excellent entertaining space. The kitchen is well appointed with a four oven oil fired AGA, gas hob (LPG Gas) and electric Stoves oven; Melbury Beacon has a direct pressure plumbing system and a new Worcester oil fired boiler.
The property is approached from the lane onto concrete hardstanding adjoining which is the two bay car port with additional storeroom. Directly opposite there is a garage with a store behind and useful playroom/office. The majority of the garden lies to the south and is laid to lawn with a variety of trees including damson, weeping silver birch, willow, ornamental cherries and an apple tree. To the east there is a terrace adjoining the garden room and utility room.

Situated in the Cranborne Chase, an area of outstanding natural beauty, Melbury Beacon is accessed off a quiet lane and lies on the edge of Donhead St Andrew which is north-east of Shaftesbury. Within the village there is an excellent pub, The Foresters (about 20 minutes’ walk) while the nearby village of Ludwell has a highly acclaimed shop/post office, together with a butcher and pub. For more extensive requirements there is the hilltop Saxon town of Shaftesbury which has a wide range of facilities including niche retailers, cafes and supermarkets, together with a health centre, small hospital, a library, arts centre and small cinema. More comprehensive facilities can be found in Sherborne and the cathedral city of Salisbury. There is a mainline railway station at Tisbury (London Waterloo) and the A303 lies some seven miles to the north giving access to the south west and London, via the M3.
