## Description

A fabulous detached modern 4 bedroom house, built to a high standard with attention to detail being evident throughout. Heating is via an oil fired boiler to underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first. Set in a semi-rural location with wonderful views down the valley over open countryside.

The reception hall has a beautiful oak floor which compliments the oak doors which run throughout the house. 

The sitting room has a feature fire place with stone surround mantle and hearth. A double aspect room which benefits from views across the garden and countryside beyond.  

The dining room has a pair of doors opening onto the hall and a bay window to the rear, again overlooking the garden. 

The kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances, space for a breakfast table and patio doors giving access to the garden. Also on the ground floor there is a cloakroom and utility room. 

The first floor has a large galleried landing and a most impressive master bedroom suite complete with en-suite and dressing room. 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The front of the property has mainly been laid to driveway creating a large area for parking and giving access to the double garage with power door to the front and personnel door to the rear giving access to the garden. 

Donhead St Mary sits within one of the most sought after areas on the Dorset/Wiltshire border surrounded by pretty villages and a good community. Shaftesbury is approximately 3 miles and Salisbury approximately 18 miles distant.
