Set in the heart of a picture‑postcard Dorset village, this deceptive four‑bedroom cottage blends Victorian character with a recent contemporary renovation. The 2020 extension and refurbishment created a bright open-plan kitchen/dining room with skylight and French doors, and upgraded electrics and plumbing—ideal for families who want move‑in readiness with period charm.
Outdoor space is a strong selling point: a newly landscaped rear garden extends behind the neighbouring property, with a block‑paved terrace, lawn, apple trees and a useful brick outbuilding. Opposite the cottage is a substantial double garage/workshop complex and generous off‑road parking — a rare convenience for a village setting.
Practical considerations are stated plainly. The property uses a wood burner and large thermal store for heating and hot water, with the option to convert to oil or LPG central heating if required. Drainage is private and shared with the adjoining house; buyers should note this and check any maintenance arrangements. External walls are traditional granite/flint construction and are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, so further insulating work could be required to maximise energy efficiency.
This home suits buyers seeking a village lifestyle with good local amenities and easy access to Blandford Forum and Salisbury. It offers a balance of immediate comfort from recent refurbishment and straightforward, practical projects for those who want to improve energy performance or adapt the heating system.
