Village location
Lovely garden with orchard
Double Carport
Village shop and amenities nearby

Of period origins, Moot Cottage is a pretty detached stone house under a pitched slate roof. The accommodation is sensibly configured with well-proportioned rooms and good ceiling heights. In recent years new double glazed windows have been installed and a new electrical fire installed in the sitting room. Other attributes worthy of special mention include a nicely proportioned drawing room with an open fireplace and French windows, the sitting room with large fireplace and bread oven and good attic rooms which increase the scope of the accommodation.
The gardens are very pretty and surround the house. The front elevation looks onto a lawned front garden with surrounding shrub borders. The rear and side elevation have a pretty seating area looking over the main garden, which is populated by a range of mature specimen trees including a willow, birch, a variegated acer and two wonderful oaks, as well as a range of well stocked flower beds. A greenhouse and former kitchen garden lie in the centre, and beyond them is a small stream with a foot bridge which separates the main garden from the rear garden, a large open area with a variety of apple and pear trees. An ‘in and out’ gravel drive with five bar gates makes for easy access to the lane and extends in two areas to provide extensive car parking. There is a double car port (erected five years ago) with an EV charger and a large garden shed with power and concrete floor which are adjacent to the driveway.

Services: Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage. Gas fired central heating.

Motcombe is a thriving village with a community shop/post office, a primary school, a church and a village hall. It lies to the north west of Shaftesbury, an ancient Saxon hilltop market town, which has an excellent range of facilities including a good variety of shops, delicatessen, supermarkets, boutique hotel, health centre, small hospital, library and an arts centre with cinema. More comprehensive facilities can be found in Salisbury, Bath and Sherborne. There is a main line railway station at nearby Gillingham (London Waterloo), while the A303 lies some six miles to the north giving access to the south west and London, via the M3.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on March 3, 2022

Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 3, 2022

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
