Motcombe, Shaftesbury

The Property

Extending in excess of 2,100 sq ft of accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully planned around a spectacular open-plan living space, where a soaring fan-vaulted ceiling, exposed timber structure and sweeping glazed elevation create an extraordinary sense of volume and light. Framed by mature gardens, the principal reception room seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living through full-height glazing and wide doors opening onto sheltered terraces.
At the heart of the home sits an exceptional bespoke kitchen, beautifully handcrafted with extensive cabinetry, integrated storage and quality appliances. Natural materials, carefully considered detailing and underfloor heating throughout the living areas create an atmosphere that is both contemporary and inviting.

The Property Cont.

The accommodation has been designed to offer flexibility and privacy. The principal bedroom suite enjoys garden views together with a dressing room and en suite bathroom. A further bedroom or study provides adaptable accommodation, while the first floor offers an impressive guest suite with en suite facilities and generous eaves storage.
The entrance hall doubles as an elegant library and study space beneath overhead rooflights, establishing the home's architectural character from the moment of arrival.

Outside

Externally, the house is set back from the road with mature gardens wrapping around the house, providing complete privacy and a series of tranquil seating areas that capture the changing light throughout the day. Lawns, established planting and specimen trees create a wonderful setting, while the generous driveway provides ample parking alongside an integral double garage.

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.
