Low-maintenance courtyard and two-car driveway ideal for downsizers.
Spacious sitting room with character fireplace and exposed beams
This well-presented two-bedroom cottage sits in a popular rural village a short drive from Shaftesbury, offering immediate comfort with period character throughout. The sitting room centres on a stunning fireplace and exposed beams, while a separate dining room gives flexibility for meals or a small home office.
Outside, a manageable enclosed courtyard garden provides a low-maintenance outdoor space and there is driveway parking for two vehicles — a rare convenience for village cottages. The property is freehold, in Council Tax Band A, and has very low local crime, making it an economical choice for those seeking a quieter life.
Practical points to note: heating is provided via a community scheme, the EPC is Band D, and broadband speeds are reported as slow. The cottage has just one family bathroom and modest room sizes, so buyers wanting larger modern living spaces should check dimensions carefully.
Overall, this cottage will suit someone looking to downsize or buy a characterful rural home with easy upkeep and parking, close to local schools and countryside amenities. A viewing and a survey are recommended to confirm services and dimensions before committing.
