Description

A wonderful Grade II listed detached characterful home sitting in grounds extending to about a fifth of an acre and taking in some delightful views over the beautiful Blackmore Vale countryside. The cottage is presented to the market with no onward chain, boasting three double bedrooms, main with en-suite bathroom, and enjoys a tranquil lane side position in the small pretty village of Mappowder. The village boasts a very attractive church, charming stone cottages and a listed K6 telephone kiosk - right outside of the cottage. Facilities are available about one and half miles away in Hazelbury Bryan where there is a public house, village store and primary school. The towns of Sherborne and Sturminster Newton are both easily accessible where there is a more comprehensive range of amenities.

The cottage dates to the mid 1800s when it was two cottages and in later years served as the village's post office and shop. It retains many character features, such as exposed timbers, flagstone floors and an inglenook fireplace with Bressumer beam. There are cottage style windows and some window seats. The property offers well proportioned and comfortable accommodation with scope to add your own personal touches to make it your own home.

The two reception rooms provide plenty of space for family to relax as well as entertaining friends and there is the choice of formal dining or mid week meals in the kitchen. There is also space to create study or reading areas.

Outside, the property offers excellent outdoor space with ample room for children and pets to let off steam and there is a substantial workshop that could serve as a garage or even an annexe, subject to the necessary permissions. Both the inside and outside of this lovely home can be tailored to suit your needs.

This is a fabulous chance to own a bit of history in a desirable and popular Dorset village. Viewing is essential to truly appreciate all that is on offer.
