4 bedroom house

Bought approximately 14 years ago, the property was extended in 2011 increasing the size of the kitchen and dining room and adding the utility and cloakroom. During our client’s tenure the property has been comprehensively re-furbished and updated. The double garage, the ancillary garage building, together with the office building and thatched gym, have all been added and significantly enhance the scope of the property. It has been maintained to a high standard and has oak flooring in the hall, an oak staircase, and underfloor heating in the kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, utility room and cloakroom. There is a large well fitted kitchen with granite worktops and a peninsular bar, a well-proportioned sitting room with an open fireplace with inset woodburner and a garden room, both making the most of the property’s orientation with elevated westerly views. Other attributes include parquet flooring in the sitting room, a balcony off the principal bedroom, double glazing and high-quality bathroom fittings. Subject to the normal consents, the secondary garage could provide useful ancillary accommodation should a buyer require it.
The property is approached off the lane onto a short tarmac drive flanked by post and rail fencing on one side and a large chestnut tree on the other. A spur leads onto a gravel forecourt adjoining which is the timber clad office and ancillary garaging. A gravel drive leads to the front of the house with a large double garage with electric up and over doors. Alongside is a further timber shed and green house. The garden is principally laid to lawn with a wide variety of mature and well stocked flower borders and a magnificent oak tree and a large ornamental pond, with a separate vegetable garden flanked by laurel hedging. There is timber decking adjoining the thatched gym/studio and a further paved stone terrace accessed from the sitting and garden rooms. Post and rail fencing divides the garden from the side from the ancillary garage and office buildings.
Motcombe is a thriving and popular North Dorset village with a highly rated Community shop/Post Office, Primary School, Church, Methodist Chapel and Village Hall. Shaftesbury, a Saxon hilltop town, has an excellent range of facilities, which include cafes, restaurants, niche retailers, a boutique hotel, banks, supermarkets, a small hospital, library, health centre and an arts centre. More comprehensive facilities can be found in the Cathedral city of Salisbury to the east, the Georgian spa town of Bath to the north and Sherborne to the west. There are mainline railway stations at both Gillingham and Tisbury (London Waterloo) and the A303 lies some 6 miles to the north, giving access to the south west and London, via the M3.
