The Old Bakery is a characterful stone cottage on a quiet lane just a short walk from Shaftesbury High Street. Inside, a large, open living and dining area with exposed beams and a freestanding log-burning stove provides a warm, flexible hub for daily life. The fitted kitchen/breakfast room and wooden-effect flooring continue the cosy, traditional feel.
Upper-floor circulation is generous with a substantial landing, bedroom accommodation shown on the floorplan and both a bathroom and separate shower room. A small rear courtyard garden offers low-maintenance outdoor space and room for seating. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Important considerations are the compact plot and likely limited off-street parking typical of a narrow town lane location. The stone walls appear to pre-date modern insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so buyers should allow for possible energy-efficiency or upgrade works. Local crime levels are noted as high for the area; prospective buyers may wish to investigate local security measures and neighbourhood trends.
Overall this property will suit buyers seeking a period town cottage with generous principal living space and convenient access to local shops and amenities, but those wanting a larger garden, off-street parking or a fully modernised thermal envelope should factor potential work and trade-offs into their decision.
