The Property

Set discreetly behind private gates in the sought-after village of Colehill, this beautifully presented detached thatched cottage combines the warmth and character of a traditional country home with a thoughtfully considered contemporary finish. Occupying a generous and secluded south-westerly facing plot, the cottage enjoys mature gardens, a wonderful sense of privacy and versatile accommodation, while remaining within easy reach of Wimborne Minster and the surrounding Dorset countryside. The property has retained much of its inherent charm, with exposed timbers, character fireplaces and attractive period detailing sitting comfortably alongside a stylish kitchen, beautifully appointed bathrooms and light, well-proportioned living spaces. At the heart of the house is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, which provides a natural focal point for everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry beneath granite work surfaces, together with a central island and integrated appliances. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between the house and its outdoor spaces during the warmer months. A separate utility room provides useful additional storage and practicality. The dual-aspect sitting room has a particularly inviting atmosphere, centred around an impressive inglenook-style fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. Exposed timbers add further character, creating a comfortable room that feels equally suited to quiet evenings and relaxed entertaining. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a beautifully finished family bathroom, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower and twin wash basins. On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is an attractive, characterful room with exposed beams, while the second bedroom benefits from its own contemporary en-suite shower room. A separate cloakroom also serves the first floor. 

Outside

The gardens form an important part of the appeal of the property, wrapping around the cottage and providing a wonderfully private setting. Enjoying a desirable south-westerly aspect, the grounds receive excellent afternoon and evening sun and feature mature trees, established planting and a number of areas from which to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The property's slightly elevated position also affords attractive views across the surrounding area. A gated driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to a substantial detached insulated garage. This is an especially useful and versatile building, offering excellent storage and garaging as well as potential for use as a home office, studio, gym or hobby space, subject to any necessary consents.
