Welcome to Cattistock, a sporting village for hundreds of years. The heart of this ever-popular village comprises mainly period houses and cottages, many built in the heyday of the Cattistock Hunt. It (perhaps) naturally follows that the village pub is alive and well after at least three centuries!
Introducing this truly charming character home, reminiscent of a bygone age, nestling in this picturesque and sought-after village, and surrounded by gently undulating countryside. The cottage dates to the early 1600’s and is proudly Grade II listed and provides the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort.
Even before the front door opens it is immediately apparent this village home exudes immense character; the ENTRANCE HALL with its stone tiled flooring, is both light and airy with a further door leading out to the delightful and private rear garden. Discreetly positioned is the CLOAKROOM with W.C., and wash hand basin. The KITCHEN has a sizable DINING/BREAKFAST AREA, that readily accommodates a large table and chairs even room for a sofa! Pride of place is the modern electric AGA™ perfectly inset within the inglenook fireplace. The kitchen sink is ideally positioned under the window, whilst double opening doors lead to the large terrace and the delightful garden. The SITTING ROOM is centred around the large inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam and inset cosy wood burner effect stove for those cooler evenings. Exposed timber beams and a lovely window seat enjoying village views complete this delightful reception room.
Located off the hall, a quarter turn staircase rises to the first floor and the LANDING, a most generous of areas doubling as a seating and study area. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM lies to the front of the residence and is of generous proportions and boasts its own free-standing shower with rainfall and hand shower attachment, together with a wash hand basin. BEDROOMS TWO and THREE are also double rooms and lie to the front, whilst BEDROOM FOUR is a comfortable single bedroom. Concluding the character accommodation is the large FAMILY BATH & SHOWER ROOM: plentiful natural light courtesy of the window, suite comprising roll top claw foot tub, wash hand basin, W.C., and shower cubicle again with rainfall and hand shower attachment.
Outside
To the rear of the residence is a both private and delightful garden. WEST FACING, the garden is divided into two distinct areas.
The first and immediately adjacent to the property is an extensive and inviting paved terrace, ideal for casual or indeed more formal entertaining.
The second is partly lawned with well stocked borders providing both colour and interest. Partly walled, the rear garden provides a charming backdrop.
Also situated to the rear is a single GARAGE with wood store and off street parking.
