A deceptively spacious cottage benefiting from the most outstanding views over the Blackmore Vale and just a stone’s throw from Shaftesbury‘s bustling town centre.
PROPERTY
Located just 100 yards from Shaftesbury High Street, 19A Salisbury Street appears, on first inspection, to be a petite, semi detached cottage, however the property extends to the rear to over 1500 sq. ft in all. The accommodation is well-appointed throughout and comprises: entrance hall, sitting room with feature fireplace, wood burning stove and access to the cellar, a large kitchen / dining room with ample floor and wall units and views over the garden, stairs and a sunroom with a lantern skylight and access to outside. Three well-proportioned bedrooms can be found on the first floor off the landing. The principal bedroom is double aspect and again benefits from those outstanding views, as does bedroom three which also boasts a balcony. Bedroom two is substantial in size with a front aspect and provides access to a large attic room via drop-down ladder. All bedrooms share use of the main bathroom.
THE SITUATION
Shaftesbury is a Saxon Hilltop town which provides an eclectic mix of well-known and independent shops, cafes and pubs as well as a good range of everyday amenities such as opticians, dentist and a cottage hospital. For a more extensive retail experience the larger cities of Salisbury and Bath are 30 - 45 minutes’ drive. The area is well known for the large choice of State and Independent primary and secondary schools and a variety of leisure pursuits including horse riding, walking, golf, rugby and more. Communications are good with the A30 and A350 passing through the town and there is a mainline railway station at Gillingham (5 miles). Local international airports are at Bristol, Exeter and Southampton.
OUTSIDE
The garden is an outstanding feature of the property and is designed to make the most of the far reaching views over the Blackmore Vale. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and slopes gently away from the property. There are pockets of interest throughout the garden be it a patio or seating area ideal for alfresco dining, raised flower/vegetable planters, fruit cages mature trees or flowerbeds and wildflowers.
