Detached house for sale in Shaftesbury SP7, 3 Bedroom

Clover Cottage is a charming detached stone cottage, with three bedrooms and cosy accommodation. It is full of character and unspoilt period features. The property is set in a peaceful rural location with fantastic southerly views over the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within easy reach of the market town of Shaftesbury and the village of Tisbury.

The accommodation has a welcoming, comfortable feel, with the property presented to a high standard throughout. On the ground floor there is a welcoming sitting room, with an impressive stone-surrounded inglenook fireplace, with its original timber lintel, while there is also a formal dining room and a light and airy conservatory, with a sunny southfacing aspect, overlooking the rear gardens. The kitchen is fitted with cream units and a stainless steel range cooker, set into a fireplace recess.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles. The master bedroom has fitted storage and a dual aspect, with windows looking out to the front and rear of the property.

Consent is in place for a single story extension which enhances the layout immensely. A larger consent for a 2 storey plus detached annexe has been re-applied for, and would transform this into a rare “dream property”. The plans can be found with Wiltshire County Council with planning application number 19/04441/ful.
