A Rare Edwardian Home with Exceptional Views, Stunning Gardens & Development Potential - First Time to Market in 45 Years! Perched elegantly in Shaftesbury with sweeping views across the Blackmore Vale, this distinguished Edwardian residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of remarkable charm, scale and versatility.

Rich in Edwardian character, the home features tall ceilings, large sash windows and a wonderful flow of natural light. Many original features remain intact, including exposed floorboards and elegant fireplaces, giving the property a warm and timeless appeal.
The ground floor offers three spacious reception rooms, each with its own distinctive personality. The dual aspect sitting room features a gas fire and bespoke cabinetry, while the bay fronted second reception room frames the far reaching countryside views. A third reception room provides additional flexibility-ideal for a study, snug or reinstating annexe potential.
The well appointed kitchen includes a double oven, induction and gas hob and a Belfast sink, flowing into a practical utility room and a modern shower room.
Upstairs, four bedrooms include a wonderfully bright principal suite with a walk through dressing room and an en suite bathroom. From here, elevated views stretch across the rooftops towards Melbury Hill.

The gardens are a standout feature and have been carefully landscaped over the last 45 years to make full use of its unique situation. The main lower garden offers a substantial level lawn, bordered by large flower and shrub beds and sheltered by mature trees-a tranquil and picturesque space ideal for families, gardening enthusiasts or simply enjoying the outdoors. This area also features a timber sauna and wood store, enhancing the sense of calm and retreat. Further up the garden, the terraced levels provide additional zones for relaxation and productivity.
