Description
A superb Small Holding located within the heart of this highly regarded North Dorset Village.
THE PROPERTY
Welcome, to the fantastic, Heathfield.
Located within the beating heart of this thriving North Dorset Village, this stunning smallholding has been meticulously updated by the current owner to now present an excellent home both inside and out.
Internally, the property offers a superb space that is laid out intelligently over two floors. Presented immaculately throughout, Heathfield briefly comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen breakfast room, family room, utility, conservatory, four upstairs bedrooms with an en suite to the main room and a further bathroom. There is also an option for a fifth bedroom should it be required or indeed a study on the ground floor.
OUTSIDE
Externally, Heathfield continues to impress.
The property possesses traditional, colourful gardens both to the front and rear, as well as an ample driveway that provides an excellent level of parking.
Currently, the Land has been split into several parcels to accommodate livestock, grazing and an orchard with poultry polytunnels and pig pens. The drainage has been upgraded as well as significant improvements to the fencing and outbuildings.
The outbuildings offer all manner of possibilities, but currently present as a double garage, workshop, multiple stores, feed store and animal pens.
LOCATION
The delightful, rural village of Motcombe sits on the northern edge of Shaftesbury and benefits from a locally run popular community shop, a memorial/village hall which hosts a variety of activities, a traditional country pub and a bus service that runs to and from Shaftesbury - Gillingham.
On the outskirts of Motcombe is one of the county's most prestigious preparatory schools in Port Regis which has been rated Excellent by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
The nearby town of Shaftesbury is famed for the iconic cobbled street of Gold Hill and rich history going back to the times of King Alfred, whilst an eclectic mix of independent shops brings a vibrancy to the town. Again, there is a mix of schools for all ages in the town as well as leisure facilities and larger retail stores for every day convenience. Located to the North is Gillingham, a larger town with a comprehensive mix of schooling, retail and leisure facilities along with a mainline train station.
