About this property

This inviting property is nestled in a sprawling 7,000-acre estate, where you’ll find a plethora of activities to indulge in, backed by the rolling hills of Cranborne Chase National Landscape. Hikers can explore numerous trails, while golf enthusiasts can access Rushmore Golf Club with an 18-hole parkland course and an inviting clubhouse, just across the drive. Head to Tollard Royal, a village with a charming local pub (3 miles). The Larmer Tree Victorian Pleasure Gardens with its coffee shop is only 1.5 miles away, and both Salisbury Cathedral and the New Forest National Park are reachable within 18 miles. Shaftesbury, with its quaint high street, eateries and boutique shops, is just 8 miles away. Why not take a leisurely stroll along Park Walk and soak in the panoramic views of the Blackmore Vale, or pay a visit to the picturesque Gold Hill?

French doors open into a striking open-plan living space, cleverly divided into areas for relaxing, dining or cooking. There is a wood burner, perfect for snuggling beside whilst you watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Just behind is the table for two and a contemporary kitchen area. When the day is done, head upstairs into the inviting king-size bedroom (with zip-and-link beds) which has a stylish en-suite shower room leading from it. Here, you can wake up to parkland views and admire the character on offer. Due to the setting within the eaves, there are some areas of restricted head height on the first floor, which only adds to the charm of the room.

Head outside into your enclosed garden, where you will find a wood-fired hot tub tucked beside the property. Perhaps enjoy a soak while the sun goes down, stargaze in the Cranbourne Chase Dark Sky Reserve or light the BBQ and tuck into your favourite foods whilst watching the wildlife pass you by.
