House For Sale £495,000
A charming and recently modernised four bedroom detached cottage with south and west facing gardens enjoying wonderful far-reaching views over the adjoining countryside
Brae Cottage is believed to have been originally built around 1700 with more recent extensions in the 1970s and is constructed of rendered stone and brick elevations under pitched tiled and slate roofs. The cottage has undergone a significant programme of modernising and improvement during our client's ownership including the installation of a new kitchen, bathroom, replacement of all doors and windows, new high pressure water heating system, new modern electric heating system (underfloor to kitchen and bathroom), two multi-fuel stoves along with decoration inside and out as well as significant landscaping and gardening.
The cottage is now presented in very good decorative order throughout and combines modern living with traditional character and charm.
The front door opens into a porch with an internal door to the snug. This is a charming room with wooden floors, window seat and a large stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove.
The recently installed kitchen/breakfast room has a stone tiled floor, a range of wall mounted and floor standing units with wooden worksurfaces, integrated dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge/freezer, twin electric ovens and five ring bottled gas hob above. It is a dual aspect room with views to the south over the garden and has underfloor heating. The living / dining room is a super room at 30' long with a multi-fuel stove, ample space for a dining table, dual aspect and French doors opening out to the garden with fine views over the adjoining countryside. There is a ground floor cloakroom and from the hall a staircase to the first floor landing.
Bedroom one has wooden floors, fitted wardrobes, a wash hand basin and views over the garden. Bedroom two is a dual aspect room with wooden floors, fitted wardrobes and fine far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. There are two further bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. Outside the gardens are to the south and west and there is ample parking.
The property is approached from the lane on to a gravelled parking and turning area. A path from the drive leads to the side of the house and a raised decking area with access to the living / dining room. A gate at the side leads to the front of the house.
The gardens lie to the south and west of the cottage and are well maintained with flower and shrub borders. There is a raised wooden seating area making the most of the views over the countryside beyond. At the front of the house (south) the garden is laid to lawn interspersed with flower beds and has a
mature hedge border. The gardens and drive are well maintained with recently erected fencing and there are two substantial wooden sheds.
The cottage is located in a rural position just outside the village. Kington Magna is a popular Dorset village situated about 3 miles from Gillingham, 7 miles from Shaftesbury and about 12 miles from Sherborne.
The village boasts a strong community with a lovely church, enjoying views over the surrounding area.
The nearby village of Buckhorn Weston has an award winning pub, The Stapleton Arms, and there is a wide range of everyday facilities at Gillingham. West Stour also has a popular pub The Ship and a filling station with shop. There is a mainline railway station at Gillingham, about 2 hours from London Waterloo.<br/><br/>
