The Property - Tucked away in the picturesque village of East Chaldon, this charming Grade II listed thatched cottage exudes character and charm, offering an appealing blend of period features and the opportunity for sympathetic modernisation. The cottage showcases many traditional details, including exposed beams, thick stone walls and a thatched roof, while providing a layout well-suited to contemporary living.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors. The spacious sitting room extends the full depth of the cottage and benefits from dual aspect windows, allowing for an abundance of natural light. A central fireplace provides an attractive focal point, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
To the rear of the property is the kitchen, fitted with a range of units and offering direct access to the garden beyond. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom, comprising a bath with shower over, WC, and wash hand basin.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with charming cottage features and pleasant outlooks.
Outside - Externally, the property enjoys a south-facing rear garden, principally laid to lawn with a paved terrace providing the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation. A useful outbuilding offers excellent storage or potential for a small workshop or studio. The cottage further benefits from private off-road parking.
