This beautifully presented Grade II listed double-fronted stone cottage sits in the historic heart of Stalbridge, with shops, pub and amenities a short walk away. Sympathetic recent renovation has retained period features—inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove, exposed beams, window seats and natural stone elevations—while improving comfort with secondary/double glazing and modern fitted kitchen and bathroom.
The layout is practical for first-time buyers: a large, light main reception room ideal for entertaining, an open-plan kitchen/breakfast area and two double bedrooms upstairs. A large loft offers realistic potential for extra living space, subject to necessary planning and listed building consents. The rear garden is private, level and east-facing, enclosed by attractive natural stone walls.
Material points to note: the cottage has listed status, which will restrict alterations and may complicate a loft conversion. The plot is small and parking is on-street only. Heating includes a mix of mains gas boiler and radiators, a cast-iron log stove, and some electric night storage heaters—buyers should confirm the exact heating arrangement and running costs. Overall, the house offers a characterful, walkable town-centre home with scope to increase space if consents allow.
