Description

Behind its charming, thatched exterior, Sunshine Cottage offers beautifully presented accommodation that successfully combines the character and appeal of a traditional Dorset cottage with the practicality and comfort of modern living.

Stepping through the front door, the welcoming HALLWAY immediately creates a sense of space and provides access to the principal ground floor accommodation. A useful CLOAKROOM is conveniently positioned off the hallway, whilst underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, adding a level of comfort and efficiency to everyday life.

The SITTING ROOM is a particularly inviting space and undoubtedly one of the highlights of the home. Centred around a woodburning stove, it provides a warm and cosy atmosphere during the cooler months, whilst French doors frame views of the garden and open directly onto the terrace beyond. The room enjoys an abundance of natural light and offers ample space for both relaxation and entertaining.

The KITCHEN/DINING ROOM forms the sociable heart of the property. Enjoying a dual aspect and a pleasant outlook over the garden, this light-filled room has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate both cooking and dining with ease. Space for a dining table creates an inviting area for everything from relaxed breakfasts to evening meals with family and friends. Integrated appliances include a CAPLE™ slimline dishwasher and CAPLE™ washing machine, whilst there is space for additional appliances as required. A door opens directly to the garden, strengthening the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Venturing upstairs, the FIRST FLOOR provides three well-proportioned BEDROOMS. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a generous and peaceful retreat, benefitting from fitted wardrobes and its own EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM comprising a shower enclosure, wash hand basin and W.C.

BEDROOM TWO is another comfortable double room enjoying views over the surrounding village setting, whilst BEDROOM THREE offers flexibility as a guest bedroom, snug or home office depending on individual requirements.

Completing the accommodation is the FAMILY BATHROOM, fitted with a bath, wash hand basin and W.C., serving the remaining bedrooms.

Throughout the home, tasteful décor, natural light and carefully considered design combine to create a property that feels both welcoming and effortlessly liveable. The result is a home perfectly suited to modern village life whilst retaining all the charm associated with its picturesque Dorset setting.

Outside
French doors open onto a delightful, enclosed GARDEN, creating a natural extension of the living accommodation. The paved TERRACE provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining or simply relaxing in the sunshine, whilst areas of lawn and planting create a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.

Beyond the cottage and parking area lies a particularly special feature of Sunshine Cottage. Accessed through a charming, gated entrance complete with its own ‘Sunshine Cottage’ plaque, the separate multi-tiered GARDEN offers a wonderful sense of discovery. As you wander through the various levels, each area reveals its own character, from productive planting spaces to quiet corners in which to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

The uppermost tier is home to a charming SUMMER HOUSE with DECKING, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the elevated setting and far-reaching views across the rolling Dorset countryside. It is a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the changing seasons. The property further benefits from parking for two vehicles on the private driveway.

Location
Brook Green forms part of the thriving village community of Cheselbourne, a picturesque Dorset village nestled amongst beautiful rolling countryside. The village enjoys a strong sense of community and benefits from a well-regarded primary school, historic parish church, village hall and the popular Rivers Arms public house.

Surrounded by an abundance of footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes, the area is perfectly suited to those who enjoy walking, cycling and exploring the outdoors. The surrounding landscape provides a wonderful backdrop to everyday village life.

The county town of Dorchester, with its direct line to London, along with the market town of Blandford Forum are both within easy reach and offer an excellent range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. The attractive abbey town of Sherborne lies approximately 15 miles away. Cheselbourne is an appealing location for those seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity.

The DOMVS Approach to Selling Property

We always start with a clear strategy. We take time to understand your home, the local market and buyer behaviour, ensuring pricing and positioning are right from the outset. Every step in the process is meticulously considered, from presentation and marketing through to negotiation and completion.

We get that no two homes are the same, and neither is the way they should be launched. We tailor the approach to suit the property, whether that is a full market launch, an ‘offers over’ strategy or a discreet introduction through our Whisper List. Our role is to generate the right level of interest and convert that into a successful sale.

Once a sale is agreed, our dedicated sales progression team works proactively with all parties to resolve issues early and maintain momentum. This combination of preparation, negotiation and progression is what protects your sale and delivers results.

Our approach is shaped by three core values: integrity, empathy and determination. We give clear, honest advice, understand the personal nature of moving, and remain focused on securing the strongest outcome for our clients.

Our Marketing

Every property benefits from professional photography, carefully written descriptions and, where appropriate, enhanced visuals such as drone footage or virtual staging. This is supported by our in-house marketing team, who deliver targeted campaigns designed to reach an engaged and relevant audience. Our sellers benefit from:

• A fully optimised website attracting an average of 20,500 visitors each month

• Targeted email and digital campaigns to a database of over 20,000 engaged subscribers

• Social media activity generating over 60,000 monthly views and thousands of website visits

• SEO-led campaigns and tailored landing pages designed to connect specific buyers with specific properties
