This well-proportioned detached cottage, built in the 1760s, offers characterful family living on the edge of Shaftesbury. High ceilings, exposed beams and a sitting room with a multi-fuel burner create a warm, inviting ground floor focused around a large kitchen/dining room that suits everyday life and entertaining. The property overlooks open green space and benefits from peaceful outlooks and fast broadband for home working.
Upstairs are three bedrooms — two good doubles, one with an en-suite — and a family bathroom. The large, sunny rear garden includes raised beds, a workshop and a studio with power, providing useful space for hobbies, storage or flexible home working. Gravelled off-road parking is accessed from The Knapp.
Practical considerations: the house has double glazing and gas central heating but an Energy Efficiency Rating of D. The original sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated and the kitchen is dated and may need modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. The rear path carries rights of way for neighbouring properties, which affects access along that route.
Overall, this cottage will suit buyers seeking a character home with generous outside space and countryside atmosphere close to town amenities and good local schools. It offers immediate liveability with clear potential to add value through sympathetic updating and insulation improvements.
