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.

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 and unlikely to 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.
