April Cottage is a detached cottage set within the quiet rural hamlet of Stoke Wake on the edge of Hazelbury Bryan. The property has been in the same ownership for the past eleven years and has been a well-enjoyed home during this time, now presenting an excellent opportunity for a new owner to update and enhance to their own specification.

The property offers generous and flexible accommodation extending to approximately 1,696 sq ft, arranged over two floors and well suited to a variety of buyers. The ground floor provides a good balance of reception space, including a spacious sitting room with a character fireplace and wood-burning stove, alongside further reception rooms which offers flexibility for family living, home working or additional entertaining space. The kitchen is traditional in style and opens into the dining room, creating a sociable layout that forms the heart of the home, with direct access to the garden and a natural connection between inside and out. A separate utility room further supports the practical layout.

Outside, the property benefits from a mature south-westerly facing garden, predominantly laid to lawn and offering a good degree of privacy along with scope for further landscaping. To the side there is ample driveway parking, together with the advantage of a garage and carport.

The location is particularly appealing, being set within a peaceful hamlet surrounded by open countryside, while remaining close to the village of Hazelbury Bryan which offers everyday amenities. The property is also well positioned for access to the nearby towns of Dorchester, Blandford Forum and Sherborne, making it an attractive option for those seeking a rural lifestyle with convenient connections.
