The front leads to a hallway, with the living room to one side, which features a log burner and a lovely big window overlooking the front garden. To the other side is the fabulous kitchen, bathed in light from the front and rear aspect windows, along with three Velux windows. It comprises a vast array of cabinetry and extensive open shelving and features a range cooker, spaces for a fridge freezer and an undercounter dishwasher, and Corian worktops with an inset sink and drainer.

Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to the first-floor landing for access to two double bedrooms, a generous single bedroom, and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Bedroom one to the front features a far-reaching rural outlook, while the rear two bedrooms have great views over the garden and to the fields beyond. 

Outside to the rear, a back door from the utility room opens onto a rear patio and lawn, a decked area, and steps rising to a large additional lawned garden which features a greenhouse, a shed, and is fully enclosed with a gate for vehicular access. 

Location 

Tolpuddle is a historic and picturesque Dorset village, celebrated as the birthplace of the Tolpuddle Martyrs and renowned for its welcoming community spirit. Nestled along the River Piddle, the village is characterised by charming thatched cottages, unspoilt countryside and a tranquil pace of life. Local amenities include The Martyrs Inn pub, a village hall hosting community events, and the Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, which draws visitors throughout the year. 

For families, there are several well-regarded schools nearby. The neighbouring village of Puddletown offers Puddletown First School and St Mary’s Middle School, while older students are served by Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester, a highly respected secondary with sixth form provision. 

Despite its rural setting, Tolpuddle enjoys strong transport connections. The A35 runs just North of the village, providing easy access to Dorchester in around 15 minutes, Poole and Bournemouth in under an hour, and beyond. There is a regular bus service to Blandford and Dorchester, and Dorchester offers two mainline railway stations with direct services to London Waterloo, and Bristol Temple Meads as well as a wide range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities.
