Description

Listed Grade II, Parsons Pool House has attractive green sandstone and brick elevations and has been imaginatively re-furbished, works including the integration of a former barn into the accommodation to create a delightful, vaulted breakfast/dining room. Bought by the current owners in 2003, a new boiler and gas central heating system was installed approximately 6 years ago with underfloor heating in the kitchen and dining room and hall. The drawing room (formerly two rooms) has been converted into one nicely proportioned reception room with two open fireplaces. The accommodation is both sensibly configured and adaptable; for example, the study could be used as a bedroom while the mezzanine, (the original hayloft) above the breakfast/dining room could be put to a variety of uses including a study, playroom or as an additional fifth bedroom. Other attributes worthy of mention include open fireplaces in the principal bedroom and an en-suite bathroom, window seats in both bedroom one and two, a family shower room with good quality bathroom fittings and a direct pressure plumbing system. In addition, the house has a cellar, a utility room and ground floor wet room.

The property is approached off Parson Pool through timber gates onto a car parking area, adjoining which is the garage with an electric up and over door with light and power. There is a large area of stone terracing, flanked on one side by the wisteria clad garage and on the other by the barn clad in jasmine, with steps through a pergola leading to the rear garden which provides a delightful backdrop to the house. This is partly walled and laid to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders. There are a wide variety of flowering shrubs, and ornamental trees including silver birch, ginkgo biloba, crab apple and holly. The property is attached on one side.

Parsons Pool is close to the centre of Shaftesbury, a Saxon hilltop town which dates back to the times of Alfred the Great who founded the Abbey in the 9th century. Local facilities include cafes, restaurants, niche retailers, a boutique hotel, banks, supermarkets, a small hospital, library, health centre and an arts centre with cinema. More comprehensive facilities can be found in the Cathedral city of Salisbury to the east, the Georgian spa town of Bath to the north and Sherborne to the west. There are mainline railway stations at both Gillingham and Tisbury (London Waterloo) and the A303 lies some 8 miles to the north, giving access to the south west and London, via the M3.
