West Street, Fontmell Magna, Shaftesbury

A 1980's double fronted village house with well balanced accommodation and a fine private south facing garden along with parking and garage.

The Property - The Banks is a well formed 1980's house, beautifully maintained with the backdrop of a lovingly tended garden. From the front door the hallway leads to the sitting room with a log burner and is open plan to the dining area and kitchen. The dining area is at the rear and has sliding patio doors to the garden and lovely, peaceful views. The kitchen has been well considered and has an excellent range of floor and wall units with granite worktop and contains a double drawer fridge and dishwasher. The Aga will be removed leaving space for an electric range cooker, a stable door opens to the patio. Leading straight off the side of the kitchen is a separate utility room and a walk in larder of a very good size. The study is to the front of the house accessed from the hall along with the separate wc.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, one with ensuite shower and a family bathroom. All have excellent quality bespoke fitted wardrobes.

Outside - Approached from the village lane of West Street is a good tarmacadam drive with parking for several cars and a garage with storage above. There is a pretty front garden bordered by a hedge to the lane and a path to the front door. The Banks being in a wide plot has access to the south facing garden from the drive and loops around well tended lawns to the patio area directly off the kitchen and sitting room for al fresco entertaining. The gardens all the way along this part of West Street have been extended some years ago into the field and The Banks therefore has a large garden, especially well maintained with distant views beyond the tree line. The larger outbuilding is insulated and has power and is currently a very good workshop. Two further sheds and a wood store complete the outside storage. The garden has a range of vegetable beds, green house and a wildlife pond with frogs, toads, newts and dragonflies as frequent visitors, there is a small patio area on the boundary designed to catch the evening sun with a relaxing drink.

Situation - Fontmell Magna is a charming North Dorset village some four miles south of Shaftesbury.
