Ash Tree Lane, Cann Common, Shaftesbury, Dorset, SP7

Built about twenty years ago, 2 Charlton View is an attractive stone and rendered property which has been sympathetically improved by the current owners. Works have included the installation of oak veneer flooring in the hall, sitting and dining rooms, and landscaping the garden amongst other things. The accommodation is sensibly configured with nicely proportioned rooms with good ceiling heights and lovely views both towards Zig Zag Hill and to Shaftesbury. The property has a well-proportioned sitting room with an open fireplace and inset woodburner with French windows onto the rear terrace, and a spacious fitted kitchen with a professional Rangemaster cooker and marble worktops; other attributes include a direct pressure plumbing system. There are four double bedrooms at first floor level, the principal having an en-suite shower room. The property now appears to be in excellent order and ready to move into with little additional expense.

The property is approached off Ash Tree Lane onto a gravelled drive with a brick paved area adjoining which is the stone and rendered double garage, with light and power. At the front, the garden is flanked by close boarded fencing and tall indigenous hedging and is principally to lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders. The majority of the garden is to the rear; there is a large terrace extending the full width of the rear façade with a step to a large lawned area with an attractive summerhouse and mature birch and weeping birch trees. The garden has been beautifully tended and provides a delightful backdrop to the property with well stocked flower and shrub borders. Trellising separates the vegetable garden with raised beds, a greenhouse with gravelled paths.
