Lower Blandford Road, Shaftesbury, Dorset, SP7

FOUR WINDS is a truly exceptional four double bedroom detached house built in the 1920's of rendered brick elevations under a tiled roof. The house has been loved, enjoyed and improved to a high standard by the current owner over the last 13 years to present a substantial family home in good condition throughout. The accommodation comprises four large double bedrooms, en-suite bathroom, four piece family bathroom, sitting room, dining room, kitchen breakfast room, conservatory, study/bedroom five, utility room and cloakroom.

The house occupies what is arguably one of the best positions in Shaftesbury enjoying a commanding position in the centre of its ¾ acre plot taking in breathtaking views over the Blackmore Vale. The gated entrance accesses a long private drive that leads to a recently constructed 25ft double garage with other benefits including an additional double car port and an impressive garden.

Hambledon Estate Agents are pleased to offer a new purchaser a rare opportunity to own an incredibly special house that's situated only ½ a mile outside the main town of Shaftesbury.
