This semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment on approximately 0.4 acres, offering a generous garden with a south-facing aspect. The property is positioned in a tranquil country lane, close to local amenities and just a short drive from the historic town of Shaftesbury.
Known as Capua, this unlisted period home features nearly 1,300 square feet of light-filled living space spread across two levels. Currently, the layout includes a reception hall that introduces a cloakroom and staircase leading to the upper floor. The dual-aspect sitting room is anchored by an exposed stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, complemented by engineered wooden flooring and patio doors that open to the garden. Adjacent is the dining room which has built-in storage and views of the lane through its sash window. A generous kitchen/breakfast area boasts modern base units, an Aga set within an inglenook fireplace, space for integrated appliances, and a walk-in pantry—all while maintaining character through exposed ceiling beams.
On the first floor, the split-level landing features an additional sash window and provides access to three double bedrooms. Each bedroom enjoys views over the garden—ideal for creating comfortable family spaces—and are serviced by a family bathroom.
The expansive garden area offers both privacy and potential for landscaping enhancements. Mature hedges, shrubs, and trees provide natural boundaries as well as scenic woodland views. While some cosmetic work is needed in both the home and garden, this allows for personal customization to create an inviting outdoor sanctuary.
Capua is easily accessible via private parking at the side of the property along with double wrought iron gates leading to a detached garage and adjacent workshop—both of which may be renovated for additional utility or rental potential.
