Crookhays, Shaftesbury

The Property

A spacious three bedroom semi-detached house with the added benefit of a detached one bedroom annexe. The property sits within a generous plot with ample parking to the front of the house and a large rear garden.

The main house is entered into a hallway with a double aspect sitting room to the right with patio doors opening into the rear garden. Adjacent to the sitting room is the dining room, and a further door from the hallway leads to the kitchen diner. An archway gives access to a useful utility space/rear porch with a ground floor cloakroom. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and one single bedroom, as well as the family bathroom.

The annexe accommodation provides a kitchen, sitting room, a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and a conservatory at the rear, offering potential for holiday let or multigenerational living.

Outside

To the front of the property is a gravelled driveway, providing off road parking for several vehicles, and is enclosed by hedges and a fence with a side access gate to the annexe and rear garden.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a mix of flower beds and shrubbery, an additional patio area with steps leading to a raised hardscaped area for seating.

The annexe benefits from its own patio and garden area which is currently separated from the main garden by trees and shrubbery, which offers potential to be fenced off if desired.
