Description

Step into this quintessentially English cottage through the front door, which opens directly into a welcoming SITTING/DINING ROOM. Exuding period charm, with original beams to the ceiling, a handsome wood burner set into the fireplace, and flagstone flooring underfoot – all combining to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Stairs rise to the first floor, while a doorway leads through to the kitchen.

The KITCHEN has an arrangement of Shaker-style base and wall units offset with practical tiled flooring. A modern integrated double oven is complemented by a four-plate electric hob with extractor over. There is space for a fridge/freezer and space with plumbing for a washing machine. A back door provides access to the garden.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a rear lobby, where a large walk-in STORE provides valuable storage space. Adjacent to this is the BATHROOM, fitted with a panelled bath with screen and shower over, a pedestal wash hand basin, heated towel rail and W.C.

Stairs from the sitting/dining room rise to a small landing on the FIRST FLOOR. Two bedrooms are accessed from here and both have views to the front of the property. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is notably spacious, stretching across the full depth of the property and benefiting from twin fitted wardrobes to one side. BEDROOM TWO is another double room, complete with a fitted wardrobe, which discreetly houses the water tank.

This delightful home combines period charm with practical living space, making it a wonderful option either as a main residence, country retreat or holiday let.

Please note this property is in a conservation area.

Outside
To the front, a set of stone steps leads up to the entrance terrace – a sunny and sheltered spot, perfect for morning coffee. The property sits within a picturesque row of thatched cottages, and the approach has a timeless storybook appeal.

To the rear, the garden unfolds across a series of levels, thoughtfully landscaped to create a sense of discovery and seclusion. At the top, a raised lawn and patio area offer a peaceful vantage point from which to take in far-reaching views across the Bride Valley – a truly special setting for reading, relaxing, or simply soaking up the natural beauty. Surrounded by mature planting, the garden feels wonderfully private, with a garden shed available for practical storage. There is a shared right of way providing rear access for neighbouring terraced properties

About DOMVS, Dorchester

The DOMVS Approach to Selling Property

We always start with a clear strategy. We take time to understand your home, the local market and buyer behaviour, ensuring pricing and positioning are right from the outset. Every step in the process is meticulously considered, from presentation and marketing through to negotiation and completion.

We get that no two homes are the same, and neither is the way they should be launched. We tailor the approach to suit the property, whether that is a full market launch, an ‘offers over’ strategy or a discreet introduction through our Whisper List. Our role is to generate the right level of interest and convert that into a successful sale.

Once a sale is agreed, our dedicated sales progression team works proactively with all parties to resolve issues early and maintain momentum. This combination of preparation, negotiation and progression is what protects your sale and delivers results.

Our approach is shaped by three core values: integrity, empathy and determination. We give clear, honest advice, understand the personal nature of moving, and remain focused on securing the strongest outcome for our clients.

Our Marketing

Every property benefits from professional photography, carefully written descriptions and, where appropriate, enhanced visuals such as drone footage or virtual staging. This is supported by our in-house marketing team, who deliver targeted campaigns designed to reach an engaged and relevant audience. Our sellers benefit from:

• A fully optimised website attracting an average of 20,500 visitors each month

• Targeted email and digital campaigns to a database of over 20,000 engaged subscribers

• Social media activity generating over 60,000 monthly views and thousands of website visits
