A wonderful opportunity to purchase an extended semi detached village home with three double bedrooms, three reception rooms and boasting a large garden, which backs onto woodland. The property, which is located on the edge of the picturesque village of East Knoyle - famous for being the birthplace of Sir Christopher Wren, offers good local facilities including a village shop/post office, public house and church. The village is within easy reach of the A303 with its links to London and the West Country. Close by are the towns of Shaftesbury and Gillingham which have an excellent range of facilities including mainline train station at Gillingham. The house falls within the catchment area for the highly rated Gillingham school with the bus stop at the end of the road.
The property is thought to have been built in the early 1950s and has been a loved and enjoyed home of our seller for the last seventeen years. During this time it has been well maintained and offers an easy to use layout that provides ample space for comfortable living. It presents a fantastic chance for those looking to create their dream home as there is scope to enhance and personalise the living spaces to suit your own lifestyle, as well as the option to further develop, subject to the necessary permissions.
The property's peaceful location, within walking distance of the local pub, ensures convenience and a relaxed way of life for those seeking a rural but not isolated existence and a viewing is absolutely essential to really appreciate what this home has to offer as well as the village setting.
