St. Andrews View, Fontmell Magna, Shaftesbury, SP7

Built in 1998, Manderley is an attractive terraced house with part rendered brick and timber elevations under a thatched roof. Bought from new by the current owner in 2003/2004 the conservatory was added and a slate roof was subsequently added approximately five years ago. The kitchen has been replaced and is well fitted with marble worktops, Neff induction hob, Siemens double ovens with a built in extractor fan and a Neff fridge freezer. Within the last five years the en-suite shower room has been renewed; the accommodation is sensibly configured with good ceiling heights and has clearly been built to a high specification with direct pressure plumbing system. On the ground floor there is stone flooring in the hall and cloakroom and a tiled ceramic floor in the kitchen.

St Andrew’s View is approached off the Lower Blandford Road via a tarmac road. Manderley has a separate garage with light and power and additional car parking space. The front garden is to lawn flanked by box hedging with a paved path leading to a metal gate to the rear garden. There is a stone semi-circular paved terrace extending along the rear façade and an area of lawn flanked by close boarded fencing and well stocked flower and shrub borders. There are a variety of flowering plants and shrubs including rhododendrons and azaleas.
