Gorley Road, BH24 1TN

A delightful 1830s cottage, rich in character and charm, set within level walking distance of local amenities and benefitting from a wonderfully private south facing rear garden.

The welcoming entrance porch provides generous storage for coats and shoes, along with a cupboard housing the electric and gas meters. The living room is a standout feature, centred around a red brick inglenook fireplace showcasing original elements including a quaint bread oven and a large double width log burner—perfect for cosy winter evenings. The exposed staircase complements the exposed brickwork that enhances the authentic cottage feel.

To the rear, the dining room and kitchen have been opened up to create a superb open plan space with plenty of seating. Twin archways connect the dining area to the lounge, while French doors lead directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the space. The kitchen offers excellent storage with a great arrangement of wall and floor units,. A rear door provides further access outside.

Also off the lounge is a versatile study or family room, which could easily serve as a fourth bedroom if required.

Upstairs, the landing features a charming stained glass internal window and leads to all bedrooms. The master bedroom is another highlight, with exposed beams, an open Victorian fireplace, a walk in wardrobe, and additional storage in the alcove beside the chimney breast. Bedrooms two and three are both doubles—one overlooking the front, the other with built in wardrobes and views over the rear garden. All bedrooms are served by a neatly fitted family bathroom, and unusually for a cottage, there is also a second modern shower room. Both suites are finished with attractive travertine tiles.

The south facing rear garden is remarkably private and enclosed. Mostly paved for low maintenance living, it provides an ideal space for entertaining and alfresco dining.
