3 bed end terrace house for sale

Shillingstone, Blandford Forum DT11

Tucked away in a quiet cul‐de‐sac in the heart of Shillingstone, this well‐presented three‐bedroom end‐of‐terrace home offers generous living space, a private rear garden, and an enviable position just moments from the village primary school. The property has been maintained to a high standard and provides an ideal setting for a first‐time buyer or growing family seeking a peaceful yet well‐connected village location.

A UPVC double‐glazed front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where laminate flooring flows through and stairs rise to the first floor. There is useful storage beneath the staircase, which also houses the gas‐fired boiler, and a cloakroom sits conveniently to one side, fitted with a white suite including a low‐level WC and corner wash basin, with natural light filtering through an obscure‐glazed window.

The living room enjoys a bright front aspect, enhanced by a feature box-bay window overlooking the garden. This comfortable space is ideal for relaxing and features a contemporary gas fire as a focal point, complemented by the same easy‐care flooring that continues from the hallway.

Stretching across the rear of the property is the impressive kitchen and dining room, undoubtedly one of the home’s standout features. This spacious, sociable room is fitted with an extensive range of modern light oak‐effect units providing excellent cupboard and drawer storage, paired with generous work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A stainless‐steel sink sits beneath the rear window with views over the garden, and the large seven‐ring range cooker with multiple ovens is included, complete with stainless‐steel splashback and extractor hood. There is plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine, space for further appliances, and ample room for a family dining table. A UPVC door opens directly onto the garden, making this a superb everyday living and entertaining space.

Upstairs, the first‐floor landing provides access to the roof space and a linen cupboard. All three bedrooms are of good proportions and benefit from laminate flooring. The principal bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook towards Shillingstone Woods and features a double fitted wardrobe along with an additional deep built‐in cupboard. The second double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and also includes a fitted double wardrobe, while the third bedroom, with its view towards the woods, has a useful built‐in over‐stairs cupboard. The family bathroom is finished in a white suite with a tiled panelled bath and shower attachment, pedestal wash basin, low‐level WC, generous tiling, and an obscure‐glazed window providing natural light.

Outside, the front garden is designed for low maintenance, enclosed by dwarf walling and laid mainly to paving with raised shingle areas and established shrubs. The fully enclosed rear garden offers excellent privacy and has been thoughtfully arranged with two paved patio areas-one directly behind the house and another at the far end-ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sun. A central lawn is bordered by planting, and a timber shed is included. Casual residents’ parking is available within the cul‐de‐sac.

This is a superb opportunity to acquire a spacious, well‐kept home in a sought‐after Dorset village, combining practical modern living with a peaceful setting and easy access to local amenities. Shillingstone itself is a thriving community nestled within the beautiful Blackmore Vale, surrounded by rolling countryside and miles of footpaths, including the renowned North Dorset Trailway which follows the old railway line through the valley. The village offers a welcoming blend of everyday convenience and rural charm, with a well‐regarded primary school, a community‐run shop and post office, a popular pub, and a modern village hall hosting regular events and activities. For wider services, the Georgian market town of Blandford Forum lies just a short drive away, providing supermarkets, independent shops, cafés and leisure facilities. Transport links are excellent for a village setting, with straightforward road access to Blandford, Sturminster Newton and Shaftesbury, and mainline rail connections to London Waterloo available from nearby Gillingham or Sherborne. Altogether, this is a location that offers the best of Dorset living-scenic, friendly and well connected.
