Description
Introduction - Bannerman Cottage is a beautifully presented detached home that seamlessly blends rustic charm with contemporary design. Set in a peaceful village location, the cottage enjoys uninterrupted views over the adjoining Ilchester Estate.
The Property - A welcoming entrance porch leads into the striking kitchen/living area, where character details - exposed brick chimney breast, ceiling beam and wood burner - are balanced with stylish modern finishes. Tiled flooring extends through to the kitchen, designed with contrasting cabinetry, integrated appliances, a central breakfast-bar island and a vaulted ceiling with Velux roof lights. Bifold doors open directly to the garden, ideal for indoor–outdoor living.
A generous utility room provides excellent storage and laundry space, while the contemporary ground-floor bathroom features a bath, wet room with rain and waterfall shower with fixed screen, vanity basin and wall-hung WC.
A further sitting room/ground-floor bedroom with bay window and wood burner offers adaptable accommodation. Upstairs, two comfortable double bedrooms include an en suite shower room to the principal bedroom.
Outside - The main garden sits to the side and rear of the cottage, overlooking the Ilchester Estate. A raised planter and close-board fencing create a private, well-defined space.
Just a short distance from the property, and available by separate negotiation, is an additional parcel of land extending to 0.05 acres (225.3 sq m), previously used as a vegetable garden and enclosed by mature hedging. With room for a shed, parking or storage, this extra land offers a rare level of flexibility and possible opportunities.
A gravel drive provides convenient off-road parking.
Situation - Situated in the heart of this desirable Dorset village, Bannerman Cottage offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and accessibility. The A37 is close by, providing easy access to Dorchester (15 miles) and Yeovil (7 miles).
The village is centred around the historic Church of St Osmund and an active community hub at the village hall. Local amenities include a children's recreation ground, tennis court and boule court. Additional day-to-day facilities can be found in Chetnole, Evershot and Yetminster, while Dorchester, Sherborne and Yeovil offer extensive shopping, services and mainline rail links to London Waterloo.
