This comfortable, white painted, stone and thatched town cottage (left in photo with porch) is situated at the entrance to Shaftesbury town centre - within a few minutes' walking distance from the town centre shops, pubs and restaurants.
Shaftesbury is a picturesque, ancient Saxon hilltop town with superb views across the Blackmore Vale. In the 9th century King Alfred established the Abbey where King Canute died in 1035. Shaftesbury's most famous cobbled street - Gold Hill, lined with old stone cottages, has appeared in many adverts and magazines. To the south of Shaftesbury, again within 5 to 10 minutes drive of the cottage, is some spectacular unspoilt countryside designated of Outstanding Natural Beauty - Melbury Beacon, Win Green and Fontmell Down offer stunning views across this landscape.
Butts Cottage is one of a row of three cottages which has been refurbished to a high standard. It is double glazed, tastefully decorated and retains much of its original character.
