1 Oaklands Cottage - A CHARMING semi-detached COTTAGE set in an IDYLLIC RURAL LOCATION, beautifully refurbished and thoughtfully furnished to achieve the perfect balance between modern living and character features.

Oaklands Cottage perfectly embodies Dorset countryside living. Surrounded by rolling, uninterrupted countryside, the setting offers privacy, tranquillity and seclusion while remaining conveniently positioned within easy driving distance of Yeovil, Bridport and Dorchester.

The current owners have taken exceptional care with the renovation and presentation of the home, with clear attention to detail throughout. Approached via a private lane, the property is accessed through a sliding gate which opens onto a generous stone shingle driveway providing comfortable parking for four vehicles. There is also a well-proportioned log store and access to a large single garage.

Stepping inside, the entrance porch provides the ideal space for coats and shoes before leading through to the main living area, where an immediate sense of warmth and natural light is evident.

The living space is both versatile and spacious, featuring vaulted ceilings, natural oak flooring, and a number of enlarged Velux windows along with patio doors that frame superb views across the surrounding countryside. A log-burning stove creates a striking focal point while enhancing the character of the room.

The layout offers multiple dining options, including a well-positioned dining area adjacent to the kitchen and a south-facing conservatory which enjoys spectacular views across the rear garden.

The kitchen features oak worktops and units with freestanding appliances. It is bright and welcoming, benefitting from an abundance of natural light and additional internal lighting, along with access to an additional loft storage space.

From the inner hallway, a recently refurbished family bathroom serves the bedrooms and is fitted with an inset bath, low-level WC and vanity wash hand basin.

The primary bedroom, located on the ground floor, is generously proportioned and benefits from a half-shower ensuite. French doors open onto a private stone shingle seating area within the rear garden – a wonderful spot to enjoy the evening sun. There is also a separate downstairs WC/cloakroom for added convenience.

Stairs rise to the first floor where two further well-proportioned double bedrooms are located. Both rooms enjoy attractive views over the garden and surrounding countryside. A loft hatch provides access to a boarded and insulated loft space, which also houses the solar panel meters.

Externally, the rear garden offers a wonderful variety of spaces, including a landscaped lawn, a large patio area, planting beds for shrubs, a greenhouse, polytunnel, chicken coop, a substantial wooden gardener’s shed and a well-appointed workshop.
