House For Sale £695,000
Of period origins and extended in the 1960’s, Seymour House occupies an elevated site with a lovely outlook over the surrounding countryside. Built of green sandstone and rendered elevations under a pitched slate roof, Seymour House has been added to over the years; whilst in need of updating, it could, (subject to planning consents) be extended at both ground and first floor levels taking advantage of its enviable position. On the ground floor the kitchen could be enlarged and the existing workshop incorporated into the accommodation. At first floor level the walls are stud partitions so could easily be re-configured. Other attributes include gas fired central heating (the boiler is approximately 2-3 years old), timber flooring in the hall and sitting room and good ceiling heights.
Seymour House is accessed off Kingsman Lane, through timber gates onto a tarmac drive with plenty of car parking, leading to the garage and the adjoining workshop/store. Stone steps lead up from the drive to a paved terrace and to the garden which is principally to the rear and from where there are delightful views. It is laid to lawn with a variety of well stocked flower and shrub borders well screened on both sides by tall hedging. There is a summer house and greenhouse. Council Tax Band F.
Kingsman Lane runs to the south of St James Street on the southern slopes of the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury, which has an excellent range of facilities, including supermarkets, a delicatessen, cafes, restaurants, niche retailers, a boutique hotel, banks, a small hospital, library, health centre and an arts centre. A more comprehensive range of facilities can be found in the Cathedral city of Salisbury to the east, the Georgian spa town of Bath to the north and Sherborne to the west. There are mainline railway stations at both Gillingham and Tisbury offering a direct service to London Waterloo. The A303 lies some 6 miles to the north, giving access to the West Country and London, via the M3.
