Set on a corner in a sought-after Blackmore Vale village, this detached stone cottage offers traditional charm and pastoral views. The thatched roof, exposed beams and original inglenook fireplace create a characterful living environment ideal for someone seeking a peaceful village home or a downsized rural retreat.
The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The property totals about 1,015 sq ft and benefits from a lawned garden, attached brick store housing the oil boiler, timber garage and parking. There is plumbing in place should you wish to add an en-suite to the main bedroom.
Important practical points are straightforward: the cottage is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate works; it requires renovation and updating; heating is via an oil boiler; and flood risk is classed as medium. The house is being sold freehold and with no onward chain, which may help a buyer who can manage listed-building constraints.
For those who value village life, primary schooling and an ancient church are close by, with larger facilities in nearby Marnhull, Shaftesbury and Gillingham (mainline station). Broadband is reported fast and local crime levels are very low — attractive features for a quieter, connected rural lifestyle.
