This substantial early-20th-century semi-detached cottage offers characterful family living with modern energy upgrades. Set in the quiet hamlet of Grange and backing onto open countryside, the house combines generous reception space and mature gardens with practical parking for several vehicles. The layout includes three reception rooms (one easily used as a fourth bedroom), a kitchen/breakfast room with pantry, utility/WC, and useful outbuilding with kitchenette and shower.
The house sits on a large plot and provides excellent indoor-outdoor flow for family life and entertaining. Principal rooms have period features such as exposed beams and open fireplaces, while solar panels and an air source heat pump reduce running costs. Broadband speeds are fast and crime levels are very low, supporting comfortable, secure rural living with reasonable links to Wimborne and nearby towns.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is an older construction (built 1914) with cavity walls assumed to have no added insulation, and double glazing has an unknown install date. Main heating is listed as oil-fired boiler and radiators, suggesting mixed or legacy systems that may need inspection. Council tax is described as expensive, and as with any home of this age, some ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating should be expected.
For families seeking space, countryside views and period charm with some energy-efficient improvements already in place, this cottage presents a rare combination of size, character and potential. Early viewing is advised to appreciate the plot, flexible accommodation and the detached studio annexe potential for home working or guest use.
