Step into a quiet, well-kept retirement cottage in Stalbridge, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. Built in 2001 as part of a small development, the detached stone property provides comfortable accommodation arranged over two floors for those aged 55 and over. The village centre is within walking distance, with shops, a post office, a pub and an award-winning independent supermarket close by.
Internally the layout suits downsizers seeking easy-running maintenance: a dual-aspect living room with fireplace, a generous kitchen-diner with breakfast bar and integrated oven and gas hob, plus a ground-floor WC with space for a washing machine. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all with built-in wardrobes, and a bathroom with a large walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Gas central heating and double glazing contribute to an EPC C rating.
Practical benefits include allocated car-port parking with a storage cupboard, rear and side access to a well-maintained courtyard garden, and freehold tenure with no onward chain. The setting is a small, ageing rural neighbourhood close to larger towns (Sherborne and Gillingham) while maintaining a peaceful village atmosphere.
Important considerations: the total internal size is modest at about 715 sq ft, and there is only one bathroom, which may limit flexibility for some buyers or visitors. The plot is small and the property forms part of a compact group of homes, with a shared gate and right of access for adjoining properties. Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance retirement home suited to downsizers wanting village convenience and easy parking.
