The Street, Motcombe, Shaftesbury, SP7

Built in the 1986 and bought from new, Acorns has attractive rendered elevations under a pitched tiled roof and is set well back from the road. In the early 1990’s the property was enlarged with a two storey extension resulting in an additional bedroom, study and a larger dining room and was then extended again in 2004 creating a more spacious kitchen/breakfast room. Approximately ten years ago, the existing conservatory was replaced with one by David Salisbury which has significantly enhanced the scope of the accommodation and has the benefit of underfloor heating. The house now appears to be in excellent order and has sensibly configured accommodation and nicely proportioned rooms. Other attributes include double glazing, a new gas boiler installed in 2023, and a lovely outlook at the rear which backs on to fields with views towards Kingsettle Wood.

The property is approached off the lane through timber gates onto a gravelled car parking and turning area, adjoining which is the double garage with light and power. To the front there is a small area of lawn on either side of the front door with flower and shrub borders while the facade is clad with wisteria and a climbing rose. The majority of the garden is to the rear and is laid to lawn with an attractive terrace accessed through French windows from the conservatory, sitting room and kitchen.
