This well-presented Victorian brick-and-flint cottage offers characterful living in a quiet village setting, ideal for a family seeking rural charm with practical comforts. The living spaces retain period features — exposed beams, an inglenook with a wood-burning stove and built-in shelving — while gas central heating and a fitted kitchen make day-to-day life comfortable.
A standout feature is the versatile brick garden studio with vaulted ceiling, WC and mezzanine, accessed from the paved courtyard. It would suit a home office, creative workspace or guest room, subject to any required consents. The property’s ‘hidden garden’ is generous and thoughtfully landscaped, with a large deck, lawn, mature apple tree and room for vegetable planters — great for outdoor entertaining and family use.
Practical points to note: the house is of solid brick construction typical of its age and likely lacks wall insulation, so upgrading thermal performance would be a sensible investment. Flooding risk is assessed as medium for the area, and there is only one family bathroom. No.4 Blandford Hill has a right of access over the courtyard, which affects privacy to that area.
Overall this cottage suits buyers who value period character, outdoor space and flexible ancillary accommodation. It will particularly appeal to families or buyers wanting a countryside home with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise internal finishes.
