A spacious and versatile chalet style bungalow located on the edge of the popular village of Motcombe.
Property
Beyond the threshold lies a home full of light and versatility. The reception hallway provides a warm welcome, leading to a generous dual-aspect sitting room. This primary living space is bathed in natural light with views over the front and side gardens, and flows into the conservatory.
The spacious kitchen is fitted with a large number of cabinets and provides the perfect environment for rustling up family meals. From here a door opens to a W/C and second conservatory, with plumbing for a washing machine. The ground floor balances social spaces with three well-appointed bedrooms and a modern bathroom. A luxurious addition on the ground floor is a private sauna and shower suite, discreetly accessed via one of the bedrooms to provide a spa-like retreat.
On the first floor are two further substantial double bedrooms. These rooms feature integrated eaves storage and share a second stylish bathroom.
The situation
Motcombe village is situated in the beautiful countryside of North Dorset, between the attractive hilltop town of Shaftesbury, home of the Hovis advert, and Gillingham which benefits from a main line railway station serving London Waterloo and the South West. Motcombe benefits from various amenities including a community run village shop, a church and a public house/hotel. There are countryside walks from the door step and plenty of activities and clubs based at the village Memorial Hall. The nearby towns of Shaftesbury and Gillingham offer a selection of supermarkets and services including doctors, dentists, opticians and vets. A more refined retail experience can be had at Bath, Salisbury or Bournemouth, all within a 35 mile radius. There is a wide choice of local independent and private Primary and Secondary Schools in the vicinity including in the village itself. Local leisure activities include rugby, football and netball clubs, wi, bridge and yoga at the village hall, and golf, horse-riding, walking and much more locally.
Outside
Set within a generous 1⁄4 acre plot, this home occupies a commanding, elevated position on the periphery of the village. The property is approached via an expansive gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a convenient integral single garage. The garden, accessed via a side gate, is a delight; a sprawling lawn is framed by mature flower beds and a variety of established shrubs and trees, ensuring both privacy and seasonal interest. Quiet moments can be enjoyed in the summer house-an idyllic spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. A large, timber shed provides ample storage for garden machinery and equipment.

Estate Agents are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (aml) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property. W&W use a specialist service called "Guild 365" to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale). There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: W&W receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.
