The Property

This delightful cottage retains an abundance of character while benefiting from tasteful modern styling throughout, creating a warm and welcoming home ideal for a range of buyers or alternatively, a lucrative rental investment.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and centres around an inviting sitting and dining room, which includes two fireplaces, with one housing a woodburner, flagstone flooring and attractive plantation style shutters. The adjoining kitchen hosts an array of fitted units, a butler sink and space for appliances, as well as access into the rear garden. The family bathroom is also located on the ground floor, featuring varied bespoke fitted appliances including a rainfall shower and low level WC. To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, each enjoying a peaceful ambience, pleasant views and an abundance of natural light.

Outside

The property enjoys a private garden to the front which is currently laid to lawn with a wildflower garden, and a side gate gives access to the rear. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area and an outbuilding which has been converted to provide a utility space with plumbing and space for a washing machine/tumble dryer. In the garden is also a Shepherds Hut which can be left with the property by further negotiation. There is on-road parking available close to the property.

Location

The delightful, rural village of Motcombe sits on the northern edge of Shaftesbury and benefits from a locally run popular community shop, a memorial/village hall which hosts a variety of activities, a traditional country pub and a bus service that runs to and from Shaftesbury - Gillingham.
On the outskirts of Motcombe is one of the county's most prestigious preparatory schools in Port Regis which has been rated Excellent by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.

The nearby town of Shaftesbury is famed for the iconic cobbled street of Gold Hill and rich history going back to the times of King Alfred, whilst an eclectic mix of independent shops brings a vibrancy to the town. Again, there is a mix of schools for all ages in the town as well as leisure facilities and larger retail stores for every day convenience. Located to the North is Gillingham, a larger town with a comprehensive mix of schooling, retail and leisure facilities along with a mainline train station.

Anti Money Laundering

As of 2017, Estate Agents are legally required to undertake Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property.
Boatwrights Estate Agents Ltd are members of The Guild of Property Professionals and therefore use a professional service called Guild 365 to facilitate these checks. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted. There is a charge for this service at a cost of £30+VAT (per person) which is non-refundable. Boatwrights do receive small proportion of this fee in order to cover our administrative costs.
