Situation
1 Layton Lane is conveniently situated on the southern slopes of Shaftesbury, close to the town centre and affording stunning views across the Blackmore Vale countryside.
The ancient Saxon 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 surrounding countryside is most attractive and contains many pretty villages together with some noteworthy houses such as Stourhead House and Wardour Castle. Other towns in the area include the Georgian town of Blandford Forum, the Abbey town of Sherborne and the Cathedral city of Salisbury. 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).

Outside
Steps down, through a wrought iron gate lead to the front of the property with low maintenance ornamental gardens to either side. There is a off road parking space to the side that provides access to the garage and leads through a secure gate to the rear gardens.

The rear gardens are a generous size, predominantly laid to lawn with colourful floral borders and herbaceous beds. There is lovely private seating area at the rear of the home, creating an ideal outdoor dining and entertaining area with a lovely aspect down the gardens and benefitting from a high degree of privacy.

There is also the added benefit of the useful and versatile workshop, that could be used as a studio, home offices or ancillary accommodation, subject to relevant permissions.
