Charming 18th Century Cottage with stylish extension, secluded garden & large garage in a vibrant Dorset Village.

The Property - An attractive period cottage of cob construction with a modern extension, featuring a part thatched, part tiled roof, and benefiting from a large garage.

The Accommodation - Corner Cottage is believed to date back to the 1700s and underwent an extensive refurbishment programme in 2005/2006. The works included a thoughtfully designed extension, complete rewiring and plumbing, a roof overhaul, the installation of double-glazed windows, and underfloor heating in the kitchen/breakfast room. Bespoke, well-placed storage cupboards were also added throughout the cottage. The renovations were carried out with care to retain the charm and character of the original building, which now sits beautifully within its protected and enclosed garden.

The accommodation briefly comprises: entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, study, ground floor bedroom (bedroom 3) with a vaulted ceiling, and a bathroom. Upstairs, there is a generous principal bedroom (bedroom 1), a second bedroom, and a further bathroom.

The property further benefits from a private driveway, a large garage with a separate store room, and gas central heating.

Outside - The garden is a particular highlight, it is well-established and has been thoughtfully planted with a variety of mature shrubs and trees. A private patio adjoins the cottage in a secluded, sheltered position, offering an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxation. Well-stocked flower beds add colour and interest, while the lawn extends around the cottage, enhancing the overall setting and providing a natural flow between different areas of the garden. Additional features include a summer house with power and a rear gate leading to the driveway.

Situation - Corner Cottage is conveniently situated towards the centre of this popular village which is midway between Dorchester and Blandford. The village is about two miles from the A35 dual carriageway at Puddletown which, in turn, leads to Poole/Bournemouth. The village enjoys an active community and has a general store, first school, parish church, nearby village hall, doctors surgery and sports field.

Both Dorchester and Blandford have a variety of shopping and leisure facilities. At Dorchester there are railway stations to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads.
