About this property

A welcoming semi-detached cottage tucked away down a country lane, next to the owners' home in the heart of the friendly Dorset village of Motcombe, two miles from the ancient town of Shaftesbury. Situated within the grounds of a former plant nursery, this charming cottage near Shaftesbury provides comfortable holiday accommodation, and is the perfect base for a family or group of friends wishing to explore this lovely rural area. There's plenty of space at this Motcombe cottage, with a traditional kitchen boasting a delightfully warming AGA, a dining room, a comfortable garden room with French doors and a homely sitting room. The enclosed lawned garden at this Motcombe cottage allows plenty of space for socialising, with the pleasant patio area a superb place for taking refreshment after a busy day exploring. The countryside surrounding this Dorset cottage offers an abundance of lovely walking and cycling opportunities, with the nearby town of Shaftesbury providing an excellent range of facilities including an array of fascinating shops and good restaurants, as well as the picturesque Gold Hill of Hovis advert fame. Further afield, yet within easy travelling distance of your Motcombe cottage, are numerous attractions including the stunning house and gardens of Stourhead, Longleat House and Safari Park, historic Stonehenge and the regal cities of Bath and Salisbury. This cottage near Shaftesbury provides an excellent base for exploring Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire at any time of the year.

The thriving village of Motcombe lies on the edge of North Dorset's Blackmore Vale, just 2 miles from the ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury. Motcombe boasts its own friendly community store and Post Office, with a country pub close by. The local town of Shaftesbury, well served by a good range of shops and inns, is perched on a spur of rolling green hills with spectacular views reaching far across the rural landscape. One of the best vantage points is from Gold Hill (the famous ‘Hovis' advert was filmed here) with its quaint, cobbled and very steep street. Nearby, a drive through the picturesque Blackmore Vale, dotted with pretty villages, offers visitors a flavour of the very best of the English countryside. A treat not to be missed!
