Viewing by by appointment - 18th April Close to the heart of this popular village is this Grade II listed, semi-detached cottage set in lovingly maintained gardens full of colour.
The front door opens onto a good size sitting/dining room with a slate floor and wood burner stove. The dining area is large enough to accommodate a table and chairs.
Off the sitting room the kitchen is to the rear of the cottage and is well laid out with white wall and base units, built-in electric oven with an electric hob, extractor fan over and a space and plumbing for a dishwasher.
The staircase rises to the first floor from the kitchen and the open area below the stairs provides space and plumbing for a washing machine and a fridge/freezer.
The bathroom is downstairs beyond the kitchen, having a corner bath with wall-mounted shower over, WC and washbasin.
A further door opens into a lean-to with a tiled floor and a back door which opens onto the rear garden. In the bathroom, there is also a hidden bricked up old doorway which could be re-opened to incorporate the large workshop/store (subject to Listed Buildings Consent).
On the first floor is a good-sized landing with 3 bedrooms, the main ones looking over the front gardens. The master double bedroom has a large fitted cupboard with another storage cupboard over and the second double bedroom also has a built-in cupboard. (The top half of which houses the baxi boiler).
Bedroom 3 is a single bedroom/study with a sloping roof and its window provides a view of the rear garden and countryside beyond.
Outside, a picket gate opens onto a footbridge which takes you over the River Piddle, into the wonderful open gardens. A gravelled path, bordered with colourful plants, leads through the first large area of garden.
A box hedge with another little picket gate separates the second area of garden which has a summer house. A gravelled path to the side of the cottage takes you to the rear garden, which has open views over the fields beyond.
Note
There is a pedestrian right of way to the front of the property for the neighbouring properties of The Moor.
The cottage is well positioned within this popular village which is has a good range of facilities including a general store/post office, church, village hall, first and middle schools, doctors' surgery, The Blue Vinny public house and Veterinary Practice.
There is a regular bus service. Mainline rail stations at Dorchester (about 5 miles) and Moreton (about 4 miles) are on the London/Waterloo line. There is a good road network to the larger conurbation of Poole and Bournemouth as well as Wimborne and Blandford.
The area is particularly well served with both state and private schools, including the Thomas Hardye School and Sunninghill Prep School in Dorchester, Bryanston, Clayesmore, Canford, Milton Abbey, the Sherborne schools, Sunninghill, Sandroyd, Knighton House and Port Regis.
This part of Dorset has an excellent network of
footpaths and bridleways and some of these connect with Puddletown Forest to the west. There are excellent sporting opportunities including sailing and water sports at Weymouth and Poole and along the glorious Jurassic coastline, golf at Dorchester, the East Dorset, Isle of Purbeck, sports centres at Dorchester and Weymouth.<br/><br/>
