Owners say, "We built our dream home in a glorious spot with fantastic views."
This stunning contemporary home was constructed in 2017 in local Shaftesbury Greenstone, tucked away at the end of a shared private road with gardens that wrap around and stunning views across the Blackmore Vale. Located in the Enmore Green area of Shaftesbury, a quiet, pretty area that has its own sense of community yet is walkable to the town centre.

Foxgloves was a finalist in the Dorset LABC Building Excellence Awards 2018.
