Stour Row, Shaftesbury

The Property
Inside
Ground Floor The property is entered via the garden room, a later addition to the original cottage, which faces south and enjoys an outlook over the front garden. The current vendor has added a window from the garden room through to the sitting room, which brings plenty of natural light into the heart of the home. The dining room is a large and versatile space with room for a good sized table, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The sitting room is wonderfully cosy, with built-in shelving and a feature fireplace with an electric stove, along with an exposed stone wall that adds to the character of the cottage. Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first floor. The kitchen has been newly fitted by the current vendor with a range of sleek gloss units and complementary work surfaces. It has a ceramic butler sink, induction hob, electric oven, integrated under-counter fridge and integrated dishwasher, along with tiled flooring and ceiling downlights. An exposed stone wall adds further character. The kitchen leads to a rear porch with a door to the outside, and to a ground floor bathroom fitted with a bath and shower. First Floor The vendor has fitted plantation shutters to all the first floor windows. The principal bedroom is a double with built-in wardrobes and leads through to a particularly large en-suite, which forms part of a later extension. The en-suite is fitted with a freestanding roll-top bath set in the centre of the room, a separate walk-in shower, wash basin and WC. Bedroom two is also a double and has built-in cupboards and drawers.
Outside
Garden The front garden is south facing and has been landscaped by the vendor. It is paved, with mature shrubs and planting, and has a summer house, making it a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the sun. The rear garden is courtyard style, with potted plants and two garden sheds. It is secure, enclosed and not overlooked, and enjoys a lovely outlook over the fields beyond. Parking and Garage A driveway provides parking for three to four cars and leads to the garage. The garage has a new roof, is insulated and watertight, and has an electric door. The vendor has converted the rear of the garage into a useful utility room, so the remaining garage space is now best suited to storage.
