Brook Cottage is a character-filled four-bedroom family home set on just over 0.5 acre, quietly tucked beside Happy Bottom nature reserve. The southerly-facing rear garden, mature trees and direct edge to protected green space create a private, wildlife-rich setting ideal for outdoor family life and gardening.
The house blends period charm with recent upgrades: exposed beams, a woodburning stove, modern kitchen with vaulted ceiling, new combi boiler, replaced fascias and an insulated garden room with power. Ground-floor layout includes a dual-aspect sitting room, dining hall, study, utility and workshop — useful for home working or hobbies. There is a double garage and generous off-road parking.
Practical positives are strong: mains gas central heating, new consumer unit and many recent fittings. The garden borders a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and local schools and transport links to Wimborne, Poole and Bournemouth are within easy reach.
Notable negatives are set out plainly. The property sits off an unmade road and a voluntary £30 per year contribution helps maintain it. A Tree Preservation Order affects works to some trees. The external walls are cavity-built with no known added insulation, so buyers may want to budget for improvement works to increase energy efficiency. The house has a history of active woodworm treatment (records available). Council Tax sits at the higher band for the area.
