The Old Curiosity Shop is a charming Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage set along Stalbridge High Street, offering far more space and privacy than its central location might suggest. The property provides two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a private south-facing walled garden. Rich in character, with features such as exposed beams and a substantial stone fireplace, the cottage has been well cared for and offers an opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise while preserving its historic charm. Offered with no onward chain.
Description: - Set along Stalbridge High Street, The Old Curiosity Shop is a charming Grade II listed mid-terrace cottage that offers far more space and privacy than its central position might suggest. The property carries a rich sense of history, having previously operated as an antiques shop which is where it found its name, offering the opportunity for use as a shop for future owners subject to council restrictions.
Behind the modest historic façade lies a surprisingly spacious and well-balanced interior, comprising two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a private south-facing walled garden to the rear. While clearly well maintained over the years, the cottage now offers an opportunity for a new owner to gently enhance and personalise the interior, while preserving its inherent period charm.
Inside: - The accommodation unfolds in a way typical of an older cottage, with a series of interlinked rooms that add both character and interest while providing generous overall living space. The main reception room is particularly atmospheric, featuring exposed ceiling beams and a substantial stone inglenook fireplace with a gas fire that forms a natural focal point. The room feels both cosy and spacious, well suited to everyday living as well as quieter evenings.
A second reception room sits alongside, offering additional flexibility and creating a natural connection through to the kitchen and the garden beyond. Together, these rooms allow for a comfortable flow across the ground floor while retaining their own distinct character. The kitchen was upgraded approximately seven years ago and is fitted with modern gloss units and laminate worktops, striking a balance between contemporary practicality and the cottage’s period setting.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, each retaining a sense of character in keeping with the age of the building. The shower room is located off the landing and completes the first-floor accommodation.
