The Music Room, is in close proximity of The Manor House and is surrounded by the walled garden which encompasses both properties. It enjoys its own private fenced terrace with a table and chairs as well as a new walled terrace at the back of the property.

Why they chose this property
The beauty of our property is its age and character and its prime location at the foot of the famous Gold Hill in Shaftesbury.
Our house was built in 1604 and The Music Room was the original Coach House for The Manor House.
The Music room was converted in the Spring of 2013 into a luxury holiday let for 2 people or a couple with a baby.
The Music room enjoys close proximity to the Saxon town of Shaftesbury and yet within 5 minutes walk to the beautiful rolling countryside of the Blackmore Vale.

What makes this property unique
The Music Room has been fitted to a very high standard and benefits from being a 5 minute walk to the local pub. From there it is a short but steep walk up the famous Gold Hill, renowned for the Hovis advert . This is the most beautiful street ...... a step back in time . Once you have reached the top of Gold Hill you are in the centre of this Anglo Saxon town.
Shaftesbury is steeped in history and tradition and is one of the oldest and highest towns in England and it dominates what Hardy called the 'engirdled and secluded Blackmore Vale'.
At the top of Gold Hill you must sit back and enjoy the stunning views whilst tasting the fabulous fayre on offer at The Salt Cellar Cafe.
Shaftesbury and the surrounding area has so much to offer as listed and described later.
