Step into a piece of history with Old School Cottage, a delightful single-storey retreat that invites you to embrace the charm of yesteryears. Originally built around 1830, this Grade II listed property has been lovingly preserved, offering a unique blend of traditional allure and modern potential. The cottage unfolds with three inviting bedrooms, each offering a canvas ready for your personal touch. The FAMILY BATHROOM with both a bath and shower, ensure convenience for modern living.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the expansive SITTING ROOM, where a wood-burning stove promises cosy evenings and a warm ambience. Imagine gathering here with loved ones, the flicker of the fire casting a gentle glow. This versatile space also accommodates a dining area, perfect for hosting friends and family. Adjacent to the sitting room lies the farmhouse-style KITCHEN, a space that whispers of rustic charm and culinary adventures. With ample room for informal dining and a UTILITY room to keep life organised, this kitchen is both practical and inviting. A door from the kitchen leads directly to the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. A separate W.C, adds to the functionality of this charming abode.
Outside
The exterior of Old School Cottage is as enchanting as its interior. Approaching the cottage through the ‘school gates’, the driveway offers a sense of arrival and ample parking space. The thatched roof, a quintessential feature of English cottages, adds to the property's timeless appeal.
A pretty PORCH welcomes you inside, hinting at the character within. Surrounding the cottage, you'll find GARDENS both front and rear, laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees providing a sense of privacy and a delightful backdrop for outdoor gatherings or quiet contemplation. Additionally, a garden shed offers practical storage solutions for tools and outdoor equipment, ensuring your garden remains a serene haven.
Location
Upwey is one of Dorset’s prettiest, most unspoilt villages. The property is nestled quietly within this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the valley of the Dorset Ridgeway. The River Wey meanders gently through this picturesque village, most well-known for the romantic setting of Upwey Wishing Well at The Spring Head, a favourite place of King George III. Whilst enjoying ‘village living’, it is also a practical location within proximity of the wide-ranging facilities of the seaside resort of Weymouth and the county town of Dorchester, both with good transport links. There is also a regular bus service locally and a popular cafe, The Wishing Well.
