4 bed bungalow for sale

Mill Meadow, Donhead St. Andrew, Shaftesbury, Dorset SP7

Set in the popular and peaceful village of Donhead St. Andrew, Fewels is an appealing home, with light-filled accommodation, arranged over a single level and with picture windows framing views across the delightful gardens to the surrounding landscape. The tranquil setting is reflected in the calm, well-balanced interiors, where fresh, neutral décor and contemporary styling create a relaxed living environment.

Mellow-toned flooring in the reception hall extends into the kitchen/dining room, providing both practicality and a sense of cohesion. Generous in scale, the kitchen and adjoining dining area form a sociable hub, centred around an oil fired Aga, with a range of modern white cabinetry offering excellent storage and functionality. These areas enjoy views over the front gardens which the property sits behind.

A separate utility room across the hall provides further ancillary space and houses the oil fired boiler.

To the rear, the large triple-aspect drawing room centres on a log-burning stove with an exposed wooden beam above and features French doors opening seamlessly onto the garden. Glazed doors lead through to the adjoining conservatory-a bright, versatile space, fully glazed to blur the boundary between inside and out.

The principal bedroom is also situated to this side of the property and benefits from ample built in storage and a recently re-fitted ensuite shower room.

An inner hall provides access to three further double bedrooms (with views over the gardens), one of which has an en suite bathroom. A separate shower room completes the well-balanced, easy-living accommodation.

The surrounding gardens are a particular feature, offering an idyllic outdoor setting. Occupying some 0.65 acres these enjoy mature shrubs and specimen trees to the front, which provide privacy. Paved terracing takes advantage of the south-easterly aspect. A pathway leads to the side and rear gardens, where a generous further patio provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and for catching the evening sun.

A designated area for cultivation lies alongside a level lawn, beyond which the grounds adopt a more natural character, with woodland and native planting extending to the water’s edge. The property also benefits from a tandem garage with an adjacent workshop, together with a wood store, poly tunnel and a shed.

Fewels occupies a peaceful position in the sought-after village of Donhead St Andrew, surrounded by rolling Wiltshire countryside yet within easy reach of Shaftesbury, Tisbury and Salisbury.

Shaftesbury offers a range of supermarkets, independent shops, cafes, medical services, public houses and the iconic Gold Hill, while Tisbury benefits from a strong sense of community, a range of everyday facilities including the well regarded Messums Gallery, a leisure centre, cafes, florist, doctors and a mainline station with direct services to London Waterloo.

Salisbury has an extensive range of cultural, retail, educational and leisure amenities, with a well thought of Playhouse and twice weekly market.

The whole area is well served by excellent schooling, including Sandroyd, Port Regis, Clayesmore, Bryanston and Godolphin. Communications are good, with rail services from Tisbury and Gillingham to London in under two hours, and the A30 and A303 connecting to the M3. Bournemouth, Southampton and Bristol airports all within easy reach.
