Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Shaftesbury, SP7 :

A stylishly remodelled detached family home in a fabulous rural setting. Designed with quality and comfort in abundance, this seductive property offers an enviable lifestyle with close to 3000 square feet of accommodation.   

If location is a key factor when choosing a home, then Barkers Hill Cottage will not disappoint. Nestling in a small hamlet setting that forms part of the edge of the Donheads, the area and house are surrounded by verdant Wiltshire countryside. Its quiet location on a small country lane is shared with just a handful of large, individual country properties.

This fantastic home is approached across a generous driveway and landscaped front garden. Barkers Hill Cottage has been the subject of substantial improvements in recent years and the current owners have employed their considerable talent to produce a wonderful home, finished to a high standard and with superb attention to detail. The use of dual aspects in the majority of the main rooms along with high vaulted ceilings mean that the countryside is almost drawn into the living accommodation.

All this is complemented by outstanding rear gardens of just under quarter of an acre which border open fields, with paved terrace leading up to a wide deck that provides an absolutely stunning aspect across the valley and wonderful al fresco dining opportunities.
