Charming Grade II listed thatched cottage in this highly sought after Dorset village.

Description

A most attractive Grade II listed character cottage having appealing elevations of whitened render and brick under a thatched and partly tiled roof. The cottage has been well maintained but would now benefit from some sympathetic modernisation and refurbishment. There is huge potential for a buyer to improve and personalise the cottage to their own style, budget and timescale.

The front door opens into the sitting room which has a brick inglenook fireplace with log burner and former bread oven. There is a separate dining room with a door leading through to the kitchen. This is fitted with a range of floor and wall units, a breakfast area with window overlooking the garden, and a door to the driveway. Leading off is a utility area with storage and a cloakroom/ shower room with corner shower cubicle, basin and WC.

From the sitting room the staircase leads up to the first floor landing with linen cupboard. There are two double bedrooms, the main having built in wardrobes, and a bathroom with bath, separate shower cubicle, basin and WC

Outside
The cottage is side on to the village lane, with a five bar gate opening into a shingle driveway with parking for several cars. The front garden is enclosed by established heading. The secluded rear garden is of a good size and enjoys a westerly aspect. It is mostly lawned, with a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs providing interest and colour. At the rear of the cottage is an integral garden store.

Agent’s Note
The owners are not able to confirm that the septic tank is compliant with current legislation. Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own investigations and reflect this in any offers they make.

Tenure – Leasehold
The cottage will be sold with the benefit of a new 125 year lease, with a Ground Rent of £150 per annum.
