House For Sale £550,000
A charming semi detached stone cottage offering adaptable accommodation with four good sized bedrooms and three reception rooms. The property sits in grounds extending to about a third of an acre, backing onto fields and enjoying a peaceful laneside location in the small pretty village of Mappowder, which lies on the edge of the Blackmore Vale. The village boasts a very pretty church, delightful stone cottages and a listed K6 telephone kiosk, facilities are available about one and half miles away in Hazelbury Bryan where there is a public house, village store and primary school. We believe that the cottage dates to the mid 19th century forming part of the Digby Estate and was used as workers accommodation. The property has benefitted from an historic sympathetic two storey extension, which nearly doubled its original size. The cottage has been the very much loved and enjoyed home to our sellers and during their time of ownership has been exceptionally maintained and recently refurbished throughout; including the addition of a shower room on the ground floor, re-carpeted upstairs and extensive external landscaping has been carried out to create a fabulous outdoor space where children and pets can let off steam. The property would make a great home for those families looking for a rural but not isolated situation where space is a premium. A viewing is vital to really appreciate both the inside and outside of the property as well as its environment.
