5 bedroom detached house for sale

A substantial, award winning and individual dwelling, situated just a short distance from Shaftesbury’s town centre, currently run as a B&B and Guesthouse.

“The Chalet” was constructed in 2004 and is located just a short level walk from the town centre. This unique, individual and versatile property is substantial in size and immaculately presented. The ground floor comprises, entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and door to dining room.  Double doors lead to the magnificent sitting room which features a part vaulted ceiling, atrium window with sliding patio door to garden, an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and expands into a garden room also with a door to garden.  From an inner hall is a cloakroom and study and the kitchen/breakfast room with range style cooker, large American fridge/freezer and patio doors into garden. The first floor offers three large double bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities off a sizable landing that is currently used as a further reception space.
The attached 2 storey annexe is linked to the main house via a covered walkway and comprises an ensuite bedroom on the first floor and a bedroom and utility room on the ground floor. The utility could easily be converted into a kitchen making the annexe self-contained, or a shower room making a ground floor ensuite bedroom. The Chalet is currently run as a successful bed and breakfast but would equally make a fabulous family home.
