Shaftesbury, Dorset

A beautifully presented semi-detached home, set in a popular area less than a mile from the historic heart of Shaftesbury.

This bright and welcoming property has been carefully maintained and is ready to move straight into. A small front garden, neatly enclosed by a hedge, leads to the front door and into the HALLWAY, where you’ll find a generous understairs cupboard and access to all ground floor rooms.

The KITCHEN/DINING ROOM is a lovely space with an attractive outlook over the garden. Light pours in from a front-facing window and French doors to the rear. The kitchen is well planned, with ample storage and a full range of integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, and cooker hood. A fitted cupboard also houses the central heating boiler.

The SITTING ROOM is equally spacious, benefitting from dual-aspect windows and a second set of French doors opening onto the garden. A convenient cloakroom with W.C. and wash hand basin completes the downstairs.

Upstairs, the sense of light continues. The LANDING features a window overlooking the garden, an airing cupboard, and loft access (part-boarded, with lighting and a ladder). The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a generous double with garden views, a fitted wardrobe, and its own ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM. The BEDROOM TWO is another light-filled double, while BEDROOM THREE includes a built-in wardrobe. A FAMILY BATHROOM with bath, W.C, wash hand basin, heated towel rail, and front window completes the first floor.

Outside
The walled rear GARDEN is a good size and thoughtfully arranged, with flowering borders and shrubs adding colour. A PATIO sits outside the French doors, leading onto an easy-care astro-turf lawn, with a path to the SHED. An outside tap and light add practicality. To the side of the garden, a gate leads to a PARKING SPACE and a GARAGE with power and an electric door.
