3 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Blandford Forum, DT11 0JD £450,000

More than simply a house, Corner Cottage represents a small but distinctive part of Dorset’s architectural heritage. It is a home with a clear sense of history that has long been a familiar and much admired presence within the village. For the next owner, it offers not only period charm and visual appeal, but also generous, adaptable accommodation and a setting that combines character with everyday practicality, making it a genuinely enjoyable place to live.

Outside
The GARDEN is a particular highlight and feels notably private and well established, wrapping attractively around the cottage and creating a space that unfolds in a series of distinct areas. Mature shrubs, trees and richly stocked borders provide colour, structure and interest throughout the seasons, while a centrally planted island helps anchor the garden and gives it a strong sense of balance. Different areas enjoy sunshine at varying times of day, offering a pleasing mix of open, sunlit spots and areas of gentle shade. A sheltered PATIO sits directly adjoining the house and provides an ideal space for outdoor dining or quiet relaxation.

A charming SUMMER HOUSE with power and a reinforced tiled roof sits within the garden and offers a peaceful retreat with views across the whole space. A wildlife pond adds further character and interest, contributing to the garden’s natural feel. Practicality is equally well served with a very large detached GARAGE with an adjoining STORE ROOM, offering excellent storage and the flexibility to function as a workshop, studio or hobby space. A rear gate leads conveniently to the private driveway, complemented by ample off-road parking.

Overall, the outside space mirrors the appeal of the cottage itself, combining privacy, versatility and character in a highly attractive village setting between Dorchester and Blandford.
