Character-filled three-bed terrace a short stroll from Shaftesbury town centre.
Three double bedrooms including top-floor character room
A handsome mid-terrace Victorian stone cottage, this three-double-bedroom home sits a short, level walk from Shaftesbury town centre. Period details such as high ceilings, picture rails, bay sash window and two feature fireplaces give the house immediate character, while the top-floor bedroom’s exposed timbers and arched chimney detail provide rare charm.
The ground floor offers flexible living with a front sitting room, a second reception/dining room and a kitchen that opens into a light breakfast/garden room overlooking a sunny enclosed courtyard. The manageable outside spaces are easy to maintain and suited to pot plants or a small seating area.
Practical items are in place: uPVC traditional-style glazing throughout, gas central heating with a boiler installed about five years ago, mains drainage and Freehold tenure. The property is EPC rating D and built in the 1860s, so there is scope to improve energy performance and personalise finishes to modern tastes.
Important considerations: the stone walls are likely to be uninsulated and may require upgrading to improve warmth and running costs. The plot is small and the garden courtyard compact. The wider area statistics note higher local crime levels and an ageing urban community profile, which buyers should weigh alongside the town-centre convenience.
For buyers seeking character, proximity to local schools and shops, and the chance to add value through sympathetic updating, this Shaftesbury cottage offers a distinctive, story-rich home ready to be personalised.
