Situation
Fontmell Magna is a picturesque village comprising predominantly period properties. It has a lively and active community and boasts excellent local facilities including village hall, a post office/store, well regarded public house (The Fontmell - hopefully reopening in the Spring), parish church, primary school and doctors surgery. The Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury (5 miles) offers further facilities to cater for most every day requirements including a Tescos, Lidl and Co-operative supermarket, Cottage hospital, dentists, doctors surgery and pharmacy as well as a range of boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, hotels and a local farmers market (Thursdays).
The area is blessed with excellent communication links with the A350 passing through the village providing easy access to the coastal towns of Poole (22 miles) and Bournemouth (26 miles). The A350 also provides direct access to the A303 to London via the M3 and to the South West. The nearby town of Gillingham (9.5 miles) provides a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo (2 hours) and Exeter St David. The property is located in an area known for its excellent range of state and private schools including; Clayesmore School, Port Regis, St Mary's Shaftesbury, Bryanston, Blandford High School, Gillingham and Shaftesbury High School.
Outside
To the front of the property, the driveway provides parking as well as vehicular access to the garage. The remaining front garden has been laid to lawn, bordered with mature flower beds and a stone path leading to the front door. The rear is currently divided into sections including lawn, patio and vegetable garden and houses a studio and greenhouse. The garden is bordered with mature hedges but not to obscure the view over neighbouring farmland. The roof tiles were replaced in 2021 and the house offers the benefit of photovoltaic panels and solar water heating. There is also a fast-charge ev point.
