Motcombe, Shaftesbury, Dorset SP7

KNAPP HILL COTTAGE is a deceptively spacious three bedroom, three reception room semi detached cottage built of rendered brick elevations under a tiled roof. The property has been improved and extended over the years to create a wonderfully spacious and adaptable family home arranged over three floors and retaining many original character features including fireplaces, exposed floor boards and original stripped doors.
Located in a semi rural location on the outskirts of the popular North Dorset village of Motcombe the cottage enjoys peace and privacy and takes in pleasant views across neighbouring countryside. The property further benefits from a large double garage with gated off road parking, utility room, downstairs shower room, loft room/office and a good sized sunny garden.
