4 Bed in Shaftesbury (oc-76544)

Twyford is a peaceful hamlet offering a slice of idyllic rural living, yet within easy reach of great amenities and attractions. The nearby market town of Shaftesbury, home to Gold Hill, which was used as the backdrop for the famous Hovis ad in the 1970’s is well serviced by choice of pubs and shops selling essential supplies. Lovers of the outdoors can head some of the many local beauty spots within easy reach, including Cranborne Chase and Bulbarrow Hill. To the South is the stunning Jurassic coastline, home to some of Dorset’s most photographed landmarks, such as Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. Or perhaps stroll through the water meadows in Blandford Forum before testing out a Dorset cream tea.
