A beautifully presented, thatched detached home offering three double bedrooms (two en-suite), two reception rooms, a walled rear garden and a double garage. Set within a tranquil rural setting, the property enjoys easy access to stunning coastal walks and areas of outstanding natural beauty.
Melbury is a charming and beautifully maintained thatched residence, discreetly positioned along the sought-after Cuckoo Lane in the idyllic hamlet of Higher Bockhampton. Set harmoniously within its natural surroundings, the property enjoys a strong sense of privacy and seclusion while retaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The accommodation is well arranged and begins with an inviting entrance hall, providing access to the principal living spaces and a useful cloakroom. The sitting room is a generous and characterful space, centred around an exposed brick fireplace. A separate formal dining room is ideal for entertaining and features double doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The kitchen is well proportioned and thoughtfully designed, offering modern fixtures and fittings alongside ample storage and workspace. A separate utility room provides further space for appliances and everyday household needs.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefitting from excellent storage. Two of the bedrooms enjoy en-suite shower rooms, while the third is served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside, the walled rear garden offers a private and secure setting, beautifully maintained and enjoying a picturesque outlook. A patio area adjoins the rear of the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with the remainder of the garden laid mainly to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs and trees. A double garage completes the property, providing secure parking and excellent additional storage.
