THE PROPERTY
Set in the picturesque village of Puncknowle, just a few miles from Dorset’s stunning Jurassic Coast, Drood Cottage is a beautifully presented attached period home believed to date from the mid-19th century. Constructed from local stone under a slate roof, the cottage combines traditional character with high-quality modern finishes.

Over recent years, the property has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment and sympathetic extension, creating exceptionally comfortable and stylish accommodation. Character features include sash-style windows with window seats, original pine doors, and attractive fireplaces, all enhancing the cottage’s period charm.

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating via a modern combi boiler, and a well-appointed kitchen fitted with a tiled floor and quality appliances including a Rangemaster cooker with matching hood, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, and integrated fridge and freezer. The bathrooms and shower rooms are finished to a contemporary standard.

The property comprises on the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to a charming living room with working fireplace and a separate dining room with a feature fireplace, both full of character. The kitchen is fitted with high-quality appliances and finishes with a door that opens to a rear lobby with access to a convenient cloakroom.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, alongside two further bedrooms served by a stylish Jack-and-Jill shower room shared between bedrooms two and three.
