Iwerne Minster, Blandford Forum, DT11

Built in 1980, Stantway Cottage is constructed of brick elevations under a tiled roof in a quiet position in the centre of the village. The accommodation is sensibly configured with good ceiling heights and light and bright accommodation. Along the front facade there is a large covered area overlooking its delightful gardens. Both the sitting and dining rooms are well proportioned as is the large kitchen/breakfast area; the kitchen is well fitted with stone worktops, a Neff induction hob and extractor fan and Neff ovens and Amtico floor tiles. Stantway Cottage has been well looked after in recent years.


The property is approached off the lane up a tarmac drive (shared with the adjoining property) which leads to the property where there is parking and a single garage; a spur to the right provides additional car parking space. Attractive brick paving leads to the front door; the garden is principally to the front of the property and is to lawn flanked by well stocked flower and shrub borders with a mature silver birch and beech tree. The garden has been well tended, is private and stocked with a variety of flowers and shrubs including lavender, hydrangea, fuchsia, amongst many others. A path leads from the front of the property down to a footpath providing access into the village. At the rear, the garden is paved with a sitting out area and flanked by tall fencing and hedges. There is a studio/garden office which is insulated with double glazed windows overlooking the rear terrace with access to the single garage with up and over door, and light and power. Timber shed.

Stantway Cottage lies in the centre of Iwerne Minster, with views at first floor level over this popular village which lies midway between Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum. Comprising mainly period properties, Iwerne Minster has a good range of everyday facilities including a village post office and stores, a café, pub and church. For a wider range of facilities there is the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury to the north, and the Georgian town of Blandford Forum to the south. Both have a wide range of shops, cafes, doctors and dental surgeries, libraries, an arts centre, and secondary schools. The regional centres of Bournemouth, Poole, Bristol and Bath are within easy striking distance. There are mainline railway stations in both Tisbury and Gillingham (London Waterloo) and the A303 lies some 12 miles to the north giving access to the south- west and London via the M3.
