Description

An exciting opportunity to purchase an attractive, Grade II listed cottage with an additional two-bedroom, adjoining annexe offering excellent, multi-generational living opportunities or potential for a larger substantial residential home. Further paddock of 2.5 Acres included.

The Property

Jasmine House is a charming, stone-built cottage believed to date back to the early 19th century and enjoys a Grade II listed status. The home is set over three floors, with an extension to the property forming a welcoming kitchen breakfast room whilst a formal sitting room, and dining hall are within the original footprint of the cottage. An impressive stairway leads to the first floor, with two large double bedrooms occupying the spaces over the sitting room and dining hall respectively, whilst the extension to the original building now houses a further bedroom, family bathroom and useful store room/nursery. Stairs further lead to the second floor whereby two additional rooms feature either as study or hobby spaces.

The Annexe

Being of fantastic benefit to the property is the adjoining two-bedroom annexe named Well Cottage of which can currently be accessed either via a separate entrance, or via the dining hall to Jasmine House bringing with it great flexibility and potential. The annexe consists of a kitchen dining room, sitting room and two bedrooms being positioned on the first floor, along with a family bathroom.

Outside

The property is accessed via a gated, gravel driveway that opens to designated parking area, with the footings and grounds for a garage if desired. Pleasant wrap around gardens, with part being elevated from the home, include several established fruit trees, lawns, growing beds and colourful herbaceous plants to name just a few of the garden's highlights whilst all being set against spectacular, far reaching countryside views.
Furthermore, a paddock of roughly 2.5 acres immediately adjoining the property also features with a separate entrance for convenience.

Location

The hamlet of Cann is situated to the south of Shaftesbury and offers some of the best views that the Blackmore Vale has to offer. With undulated countryside surrounding it, it's no wonder that this hamlet is so popular with its residents and buyers alike. Located only a mile away is the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury which offers a wide range of amenities that include two supermarkets, a hospital, doctor's surgery, post office, dentist, opticians and much more.

In addition, Shaftesbury also offers a public swimming pool, Arts centre and a comprehensive set of recreational clubs.
The town itself provides an excellent range of shops, cafe's, restaurants, pubs and a sought after hotel in The Grosvenor Arms.

Shaftesbury benefits from strong communication links with the A303 located just 5 miles away providing access to London via the M3.
The nearby town of Gillingham and the village of Tisbury offer a mainline railway station with a direct line to London Waterloo...

Anti Money Laundering

As of 2017, Estate Agents are legally required to undertake Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property.

Boatwrights Estate Agents Ltd are members of The Guild of Property Professionals and therefore use a professional service called Guild 365 to facilitate these checks. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted. There is a charge for this service at a cost of £30+VAT (per person) which is non-refundable. Boatwrights do receive small proportion of this fee in order to cover our administrative costs.
