New home near rolling Dorset countryside with garden and parking, ideal first buyers.
Open-plan kitchen/living room with French doors to garden
This newly built two-bedroom semi offers a clean, contemporary starter home on the edge of Shaftesbury. The open-plan kitchen/living room with French doors gives direct access to the garden and brings countryside light into the principal living space. Fitted modern kitchen units and a recently finished bathroom reduce immediate maintenance for a first homeowner.
The property sits in a rural hamlet setting with expansive valley views and a very large plot — rare for new builds in village-edge developments. Allocated off-street parking and good digital connectivity (excellent mobile, fast broadband) support homeworking or commuting. Two double bedrooms make it flexible for sharers or a small family.
Buyers should note the flat overall size (about 608 sq ft) and the compact internal layout; this is a small home rather than a family house. The development and neighbourhood show higher levels of deprivation locally and a recorded above-average crime rate, so check local services and community safety measures. Council tax banding will only be set after occupation.
Overall, the house suits a first-time buyer seeking low-immediate-upkeep new-build living with room to personalise. It represents straightforward move-in condition with the potential to adapt the garden and finishes over time, but it is not a large family home and location trade-offs should be weighed before viewing.
