About this property

  • Award winning house

  • Substantial accommodation

  • Four en-suite bedrooms

  • Immaculate condition

  • Outbuildings

  • Close to amenities

A substantial, award winning and individual dwelling, situated just a short distance from Shaftesbury’s town centre, currently run as a B&B and Guesthouse.

“The Chalet” was constructed in 2004 and is located just a short level walk from the town centre. This unique, individual and versatile property is substantial in size and immaculately presented. The ground floor comprises, entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and door to dining room. Double doors lead to the magnificent sitting room which features a part vaulted ceiling, atrium window with sliding patio door to garden, an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and expands into a garden room also with a door to garden. From an inner hall is a cloakroom and study and the kitchen/breakfast room with range style cooker, large American fridge/freezer and patio doors into garden. The first floor offers three large double bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities off a sizable landing that is currently used as a further reception space.
The attached 2 storey annexe is linked to the main house via a covered walkway and comprises an ensuite bedroom on the first floor and a bedroom and utility room on the ground floor. The utility could easily be converted into a kitchen making the annexe self-contained, or a shower room making a ground floor ensuite bedroom. The Chalet is currently run as a successful bed and breakfast but would equally make a fabulous family home.

The historic, hilltop, Saxon town of Shaftesbury offers a vibrant High Street with a variety of national and independent retailers for your everyday needs including opticians, dentist, doctors and a cottage hospital. There are a selection of supermarkets nearby including Tesco, Lidl and a Morrison convenience store in the town centre. Communications are excellent with the A350 running from north to the south coast through the town and the A303 to London can be reached in around 10 minutes by car. The nearby towns of Gillingham and Tisbury include mainline railway stations with services from London Waterloo to the West Country. The area is well known for the large choice of good State and Independent primary and secondary schools and a variety of outdoor and countryside activities including golf, cycling, shooting and horse riding.
