Description

An attractive detached stone cottage boasting great character and charm with two double bedrooms, self contained studio and enchanting private mature gardens that enjoy a tucked away location away from public view. The cottage lies on the fringe of the well served and popular village of Marnhull and enjoys a semi rural location with views over fields and the allotments, yet is within easy reach of the amenities available. The village boasts an active community with many sports and social clubs, village hall, which hosts many events, doctor 's surgery with pharmacy, two shops, catering for everyday needs and with post office facilities plus two public houses that serve food.

The cottage, believed to be over two hundred years old, has been the very much cherished and enjoyed home of our seller for the last seventeen years, during this time it has been extremely well maintained and improved. The electrics have been updated, a new oil tank and boiler have been installed and a summerhouse added to the garden. This is a fabulous introduction to the property -it offers versatile usage with a kitchenette and shower room - a great space for extra guests, work from home space or treatment room or just a peaceful retreat to meditate. The sunroom, provides a wonderful space to bask in the natural light and enjoy the views of the garden and the kitchen dining room is a chef's dream and is ideal for hosting gatherings with family and friends. There are plenty of character features, including an inglenook fireplace with a bressummer beam, exposed stone walls, and beams that add to the ambiance and warmth of the cottage.

The property blends perfectly with its environment and satisfies modern day needs with old world charm. Viewing is essential to fully realise just how special this home is and what it might offer.
