Property description
Fantastic opportunity to acquire a rarely available, spacious family home. 6 St Rumbolds Road is an impressive, substantial 1920s residence positioned well within its extensive grounds a short distance from the centre of the hilltop town of Shaftesbury.
This ideal family home boasts well presented, flexible, flowing accommodation throughout with the large welcoming entrance hall leading to the sizeable Sitting Room that features a fireplace and characterful splay bay window. The separate Dining Room is an excellent size with a large square bay window allowing plenty of light into the room. The additional Library or Play Room has views to the rear gardens and is an ideal versatile family room. The modern open plan Kitchen/Breakfast Room is a sociable, 'heart of the home' space with the Utility Room offering useful further storage, appliance space and access to the Boot Room. There is also a ground floor Cloakroom. The first floor accommodation is well balanced, arranged off a gallery landing, with the spacious, bright Master Bedroom having the benefit of an adjoining Dressing Room that could be converted into a lovely Ensuite. There are three further large light and airy double Bedrooms that are serviced by a large Family Bathroom and additional Cloakroom. There is ample storage on the first floor with an airing cupboard, two large storage cupboards and loft access.
This stunning family home must be viewed to be appreciated.
SituationThe hilltop town of Shaftesbury provides a range of everyday services and shops including public houses, cafes, restaurants, independent and high street shops, a doctor's surgery and a cottage hospital. The local schools are excellent and within easy reach; these include St Mary's School, Clayesmore, Port Regis, Sandroyd and many highly regarded local state schools. The communication links in the area are very good with the A303 just a few miles to the north providing road access to London & the West and a mainline railway station at either Gillingham (5 miles) or Tisbury (9.3 miles) serving London Waterloo (approximately two hours).
OutsideThe home itself is set back in its grounds with a secure gated driveway under a laurel arch providing access to the ample parking and detached garage. The large size and character of the grounds are a particular feature, numerous trees and shrubs create a green haven and provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The garden is divided into a number of areas, with lawns at the front and back, a paved patio along the rear of the house and wooded area to one side: ideal for children and budding gardeners alike.
