House For Sale £740,000
A charming and extended family home with wonderful period features and a large garden.
Rose Cottage is a detached period home having undergone refurbishment and extensions in recent years. The property offers spacious cottage accommodation with lovely features including a fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, exposed stone walls and original ceiling beams.
The property's main entrance is via the front attached porch leading into the sitting and dining room with hard tiled flooring, working fireplace and stairs to first floor. From here, the space opens wonderfully up into the kitchen area and in all creates a lovely social day room. The kitchen itself has a good amount of fitted units including a large central island with a solid wooden worktop. To the rear of the property is the separate sitting room with fireplace and bi-fold doors leading onto the rear garden patio. The side door from the parking area is a more practical rural entrance and has direct access into the utility space and ground floor WC.
The first floor includes four good bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms.
An attractive family bathroom with part panelled walls, 'his and her' sink and a roll top bath completes the accommodation.
Rose Cottage is approached via a gated driveway with ample parking leading to a generous detached and newly erected open carport, garage and store.
The gardens are all to the rear of the property with a sunny terraced area immediately off the sitting room and nicely enclosed by wooden picket fencing. The remaining garden is mainly laid to lawn with several established tress including fruit (apple and pear). In all, approximately 0.3 of an acre.
The garage with power and light has an adjacent open car port with power and charging point, along with a useful log store. There is good access into the garage roof space.
The village of West Stour provides a good range of everyday amenities including a village hall, local garage with Spar shop, the popular Ship Inn public house and a church. East Stour has the award-winning Udder Farm Shop.
There are plentiful walking, cycling and riding opportunities directly from the property into the surrounding countryside. Nearby, Shaftesbury, is a thriving town with a range of independent and national shops, doctors' surgery, dentist, arts centre and community hospital. Nearby Gillingham (3 miles) offers several supermarkets, including Waitrose, and a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo and Exeter.
Popular with tourists, the town of Sturminster Newton is 4 miles to the south.
It has the largest community centre (a theatre, cinema and music venue) in North Dorset and marks the start of the North Dorset Trailway - a splendid walking, cycling and horse-riding route that runs alongside the River Stour on the dismantled railway line from Sturminster to Spetisbury, in Dorset, passing through pretty villages and towns such as Stourpaine and Blandford.
