A charming, Grade II Listed cottage, ideally situated in the heart of hill-top Shaftesbury, boasting a blend of contemporary and traditional accommodation, a large garden and off-street parking.
Located a stone’s throw away from many of Shaftesbury’s amenities and its bustling High Street, ‘Greenwood’ offers substantial, extended accommodation over three floors. Upon entering, you are greeted by a large sitting room, complete with a beautiful bay window and a striking feature fireplace. Off this space is the original kitchen that now provides substantial storage plus the bonus of plumbing for a bathroom, complete with W/C.
The rear of the home has been thoughtfully extended to create an expansive, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This superb space is bathed in natural light, thanks to impressive sky lanterns and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer seamless views of the garden. The fully-fitted kitchen is a focal point of this stylish and functional area. Completing the ground floor are a dedicated study, a practical utility room, and a cloakroom, all situated adjacent to the main living space.
Two double bedrooms can be found on the first floor, one with dressing area and hand basin. A shower room is off the landing. Two further bedrooms are located on the top floor, with access to eaves storage spaces.
Situation
The historic, hilltop Saxon town of Shaftesbury offers a vibrant high street with a variety of national and independent retailers for your everyday needs, including dentists, opticians, pharmacy, doctors and a cottage hospital. There is a good selection of supermarkets in walking distance including Tesco, Lidl and a Morrison convenience store in the town centre. Transport connections are excellent with direct access to the A350 from the M4 in the north to Poole on the south coast, and the A303 to Exeter and London only 10 minutes north. The nearby towns of Gillingham and Tisbury offer mainline railway stations with services to London Waterloo and the West Country. The area is well known for the large choice of State and Independent primary and secondary schools, and a variety of outdoor and countryside activities including golf, cycling, shooting and horse riding.
Outside
For a property located in the centre of Shaftesbury, the garden of ‘Greenwood’ is a surprisingly large private haven, fully enclosed with lush mature trees and shrubs, predominantly laid to lawn. There is a large timber annex, two additional garden sheds, and a patio area sweeping around the curved extension, making an ideal space for al-fresco dining and entertaining. A side gate provides access from the front of the house. There is an allocated off-road parking space located off Haimes Lane.
