Puddletown, Dorset

Once a 19th-century sawmill, this charming end-of-terrace property has been sympathetically converted in the 21st century to create a home that combines history with modern ease of living. Tucked away in a discreet position within the desirable village of Puddletown, it enjoys both privacy and convenience, with local amenities just a short walk away and the surrounding Dorset countryside offering endless opportunities from your doorstep.

The ENTRANCE HALL makes an inviting first impression, with handy understairs storage and access to a cloakroom fitted with W.C. and wash- hand basin.

The heart of the home is the SITTING/DINING ROOM, a generous space filled with character. Exposed beams overhead remind you of the property’s heritage, while large hopper-style windows and French doors bathe the room in natural light. The doors also connect seamlessly to the garden, creating a wonderful setting for gatherings on warm days. Underfloor heating ensures comfort throughout the cooler months, making this a versatile and welcoming living space all year round.

The adjoining KITCHEN is designed with practicality in mind. Offering a range of wall and base units, with worksurfaces over and integrated appliances to include a gas hob, electric oven and grill, slimline dishwasher and fridge.

Venturing up the stairs to the first floor landing, two well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom await. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, a comfortable double, enjoys views over the garden and provides ample room for free-standing furniture alongside a built-in wardrobe.

The SECOND BEDROOM, also a double, offers flexibility for guests, a study, or family use, and includes direct access to the attic, which provides additional storage.

The family BATHROOM with original timber flooring, serves both rooms, and is fitted with a bath with shower over, wash-hand basin and W.C.

This home cleverly retains touches of its industrial past while offering the practical benefits expected today with light-filled interiors, thoughtful design, and a layout that works as well for entertaining as it does for everyday living. For buyers looking for a unique home with character, comfort, and community close at hand, this converted mill is a rare opportunity.

The property benefits from a charming walled garden, which has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide areas of interest. A patio area adjacent to the property creates the perfect setting for al-fresco dining and entertaining during the warmer months. For those with green fingers, there is a dedicated area well-suited to growing flowers or establishing a productive vegetable patch. At the far end of the garden there is a single garage, complete with power, lighting, and useful storage potential in the rafters, perfect for keeping outdoor equipment neatly tucked away. To the side, a gate provides access to a parking space for one vehicle in front of the garage.
