Abbey Walk, Shaftesbury

A delightful house with flexible layout of accommodation in an enviable historic part of Shaftesbury a short level walk from the High Street.

The Dwelling - The Old Coach House is a detached house of predominantly local greenstone elevations situated in an enviable and peaceful location yet a short level walk to the town centre and High Street. The house was formerly The Chalke Valley School of Dancing before being converted to a spacious family home. In more recent years the house has undergone a programme of updating and modernising including the replacement of all windows. The well laid out accommodation is set off a large central hall with a ground floor double bedroom and a shower room to one end. The kitchen/breakfast room has been updated and has a contemporary range of wall mounted and floor standing units, a pantry and fitted appliances. The original dining room is currently used as a snug / television room and is triple aspect, with wooden floor and sliding doors to the walled south-west facing garden. The main sitting room is on the first floor and is a wonderful room, the former dance studio at over 34' in length and with stunning views to the south over the Blackmore Vale to Melbury Beacon and Fontmell Down. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor with a vaulted bedroom, with super views, and a shower room on the second floor.
