Owner says, ''It's lovely being in the town centre yet tucked away in this pretty spot''.
Welcome to Highclere, a handsome detached home built in the 1990s.
Tucked away at the end of a small residential cul-de-sac with parking and a garage, yet just two minutes walk from Shaftesbury's vibrant high street. A morning stroll to collect the newspaper and a coffee is a delightful way to start the day, with everything you need just a short walk away.
Approaching Highclere, you would be forgiven for thinking it's an older property with its mullion windows and stone facade. It has a solid presence and a feeling of character, yet all the conveniences of a modern property. Highclere is very well-presented, and the current owner has carried out recent refurbishment works.
Enter via the double wooden doors into a welcoming ENTRANCE HALL which leads through to the spacious KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM. A John Lewis™ kitchen with Corian work tops was fitted in 2023 and is well designed with an abundance of storage, an integrated gas hob, eye level oven and dishwasher, and space for a fridge/freezer. It has lovely 'washing up' views out to the gardens and trees beyond.
The kitchen opens to the DINING AREA of the sizeable 'L' shaped RECEPTION ROOM. Move further into the room to enjoy a seating area with views and sliding doors out to the garden. A perfect spot for reading or afternoon tea. The main seating area is orientated around the feature gas fireplace and enjoys views to the garden and to the front.
The ground floor continues with a CLOAKROOM and very useful UTILITY ROOM which has excellent storage and a door out to the garden. Kardean™ flooring and new carpets run throughout the ground floor.
On the first floor the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is bright and spacious with lovely tree-lined views across the garden. It has a newly fitted EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM with a spacious walk-in shower cubicle and W.C.

The FRONT GARDEN has pretty box hedging, PARKING for one vehicle and a GARAGE. NB: there is additional shared parking available in the brick paved cul-de-sac. Pathways on either side of the house lead round to the REAR GARDEN which is full of interest. A patio and spacious lawn area lie directly outside the reception/dining room, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the beautiful views towards the Blackmore Vale. Steps lead down to an additional path which is lined with rose bushes, and terraced flower beds bursting with flowers, shrubs and trees, hug the property along one side. A door gives direct access from the garden to the garage which has an electric up and over door.
