Description

A bespoke, detached, four bedroom house atop Cann; on the edge of Shaftesbury with truly stunning views, large driveway and parking.

The Property - From the impressive entrance hall are all the main rooms with a great deal of flexibility built into the design of the house. A formal sitting room is at the front of the house, away from the bustle of the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting areas which has direct access to the sun terrace and garden beyond or the more intimate balcony via the French doors. The kitchen is a bespoke designed by Kitchen Elegance with integrated Miele appliances and a range of wall and floor units including the island.

The fourth bedroom or office gives the flexibility of rooms and has glazed French doors to the sun terrace and the ensuite shower room behind. Completing the downstairs is a large utility / plant room with access to the side door, and a separate wc.

Upstairs is a wide landing off which are the three bedrooms, all with en suite bath or shower rooms. The principal suite has a wonderful balcony, ideal for the views and plenty of natural light pouring in. The principal ensuite has 'his and her' basins, a walk in shower. All three bedrooms have scope to add more built in wardrobes if required. The bathroom tiles are Porcelanosa.

Compton House is a versatile and rare new build home in Shaftesbury.

Outside - Through the electric gates is a large parking area laid with gravel, beyond which is the double car port, garage and a side area, ideal for studio or gym with its own garage door, designed for aesthetics. A path leads to the front door and around to the side. Being at the top of the hill, the sun terrace is a wonderful spot with easy access back into the house but takes in some stunning views to the south down towards the Blackmore Vale. The lawned garden gives a great and private backdrop to the house before sloping down to the boundary fence.

The other side of the house has the back door to the utility room.

Situation - The centre of Shaftesbury is about one mile away and offers facilities for most everyday needs and an interesting array of individual shops and boutiques. The larger town of Warminster, Blandford and the cities of Salisbury and Bath are within easy reach. There are excellent road links with the A30 and A303 and mainline stations in Tisbury, Gillingham and Warminster. The area also has an enviable reputation for good schools in both the state and private sectors.
