High Street, Sturminster Marshall, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

A delightful 2 bedroom semi-detached thatched cottage with a private, walled cottage garden, overlooking the maypole green in the conservation area of this picturesque village.

This charming period cottage is presented in excellent decorative order, and full of character, with a wealth of exposed beams and timbers. The roof was re-thatched in 2025, and the house has gas central heating and is mostly UPVC double glazed. There is a brick paved driveway leading to an open-fronted garage.

A thatched gabled entrance porch leads to an entrance lobby with a coat cupboard. The well proportioned living room features a brick-faced feature wall and an open fireplace with a wood burner. There is a sun room at the rear, with 2 sets of glazed double doors to the garden. The dual aspect kitchen/dining room features an excellent range of units, induction hob, extractor hood, electric double oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. There is a brick-faced chimney breast, and a half glazed door gives access to the garden.

The bathroom features a WC with a high level cistern, a bath (with shower attachment and screen) and a wash basin. There are 2 first floor bedrooms, both of which have fitted furniture.

To the side of the house, gates give access to a brick paved driveway leading to an oak-framed, heritage style open-fronted garage (with a secure garden store to the rear.) The beautifully landscaped and stocked walled garden has paved and gravelled footpaths, a patio, a wildlife pond, raised beds and a central lychgate feature.
