Set in the heart of the Blackmore Vale, this semi‑detached cottage offers spacious, versatile accommodation with long rural views and a generous plot. The house includes two double bedrooms, an attic room with Velux windows, a conservatory and useful utility space, making it suited to family life or those seeking a calm countryside base. Ultrafast broadband and very low local crime add practical benefits for modern living.
The large garden, private driveway and single garage are standout assets, and there is clear scope to extend the house subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The property is chain free and available via probate, which may suit buyers wanting a quicker move but requires patience for final legal processes.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: oil‑fired central heating remains the main fuel, the kitchen is dated and will likely need updating, and drainage is to a shared treatment plant with costs and management arrangements agreed among residents. The shared driveway provides access to neighbouring garaging; further details on responsibility and maintenance are advised before purchase.
Overall this is a rare rural opportunity for purchasers seeking space, garden and extension potential in a desirable Dorset village. For families, those wanting a countryside retreat, or investors aiming to add value, the property offers clear scope to personalise and improve while enjoying impressive open-valley views.
