Summary - LAUREL COTTAGE THE KNAPP CHARLTON HORETHORNE SHERBORNE DT9 4PQ
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Sunny south-facing garden and period features in a tranquil hamlet.
Grade II Listed cottage with period character and dressed stone elevations
Laurel Cottage is a Grade II Listed end-of-terrace cottage dating to circa 1850, sympathetically updated to retain period charm while providing practical, well-used living space. The house offers two double bedrooms, a living room with a log-burning stove and bespoke joinery, and a compact country-style kitchen with dining space and useful understairs storage. The accommodation totals approximately 571 sq ft, suited to a couple or first-time buyers seeking character in a peaceful village setting.
The cottage sits in a sought-after hamlet on the Dorset/Somsex border and benefits from a south-facing landscaped garden with patio, lawn, kitchen garden and a timber pergola — a sunny, private spot despite the small plot. A stone-built outbuilding with electric and water provides useful external storage and space for white goods. Ultrafast broadband and electric underfloor heating to the kitchen and shower room add modern convenience.
There are important practical points to note. Grade II listing and conservation area status mean alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent, which can add time and cost. The property is small and the layout is traditional; buyers should expect limited internal storage and modest room proportions. Parking is on-street only and mobile signal can be limited indoors on some networks.
Overall, this is a characterful village cottage offering immediate charm and a comfortable, low-maintenance home for buyers who value period detail and a sunny, manageable garden. It will particularly suit those prepared to live with listed-building constraints and smaller living spaces in exchange for location and character.
