Jessamine Cottages, Witchampton, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

Beautifully modernised Grade II listed character cottage in this sought after Dorset village.

Description

A beautifully presented and recently modernised Grade II listed semi-detached cottage having mainly rendered elevations under a thatched roof. The cottage has been the subject of a sympathetic programme of renovation over the last two years including the fitting of a stylish new kitchen, and a luxurious new bathroom. A new log burner has been installed in the sitting room, modern electric wi-fi controlled heaters have been fitted, and the cottage has been redecorated inside and out. Early viewing is recommended.

The front door has a pretty porch with a tiled roof, and opens into the cosy sitting room. This has a character ceiling beam, a fireplace with wooden beam over, a newly fitted log burner and a storage cupboard to one side. A door opens into a rear lobby with doors to the kitchen, bathroom and rear pathway. The kitchen has been most attractively fitted with a range of hand painted units with wood worktops and includes a ceramic hob with extractor hood over and electric oven beneath, a Belfast sink with brass mixer tap, and a tiled floor. The bathroom has recently been refitted with a white suite including a claw footed semi freestanding bath with shower and glass shower screen, a basin, WC, and heated towel rail/ radiator. Leading off the sitting room is an inner hall/ study area with a window, a heater and an understairs storage recess. Stairs lead up to a small landing, the main bedroom with wardrobe and airing cupboard, and the second bedroom which can accommodate a double bed.

Outside
The cottage is approached via a pedestrian pathway that gives access to both 1 & 2 Jessamine Cottages. The pretty cottage garden lies to the front of the cottage with a central path leading up to the front door. There is a good size lawn with beds and borders planted with an attractive variety of cottage plants and shrubs, and a crazy paved terrace with trellis surround. There is also a productive kitchen garden area with raised beds and a timber shed. A pathway leads around to the rear of the cottage and to the back door.
