- Delightful gardens and grounds
- Outbuildings
- No forward chain
Welcome to Moon Cottage situated in the Idyllic and convivial village of West Knighton and occupying a generous sized plot approaching some 0.25 acres with established gardens and an array of outbuildings. The property is in need of some refurbishment which is a great opportunity to make it your own or subject to planning to change entirely. What makes it especially appealing is the position, character, and the gardens.
The cottage is approached from the fully enclosed ENTRANCE PORCH with quarry tiled floor, in true cottage style the front door opens into the SITTING ROOM with southeast facing window overlooking the glorious private garden. The sitting room is centred around the cosy quarry tiled and brick fireplace with fitted wood burner for those cooler months. A timber and latch door leads through to the STUDY / SECOND RECEPTION ROOM with high level window to the side and French doors leading to the CONSERVATORY with quarry tiled flooring – views over the gardens and doors out.
The KITCHEN hosts a range of timber fronted cupboards and drawers with matching wall mounted cupboards. Work surfaces provide for preparation areas. There is a four-ring gas hob, integrated electric double oven and plumbing together with space for a dishwasher. A larder cupboard provides for further storage. In addition, a cupboard houses the gas boiler. The kitchen enjoys overlooking the front garden, and there is a glazed screen to the sitting room and a serving hatch through to the adjacent dining room. The separate DINING ROOM formerly the ‘washroom’ is a particularly appealing room approached from the INNER HALL with timber and latch door; this notably light and airy reception room has twin windows and accommodates a sizable dining table. Situated off the study is the BOOT ROOM / UTILITY ROOM ideal for those country walks; of single skin construction, with part quarry tiled flooring door to outside, sink together with plumbing and space for a washing machine. Beyond is the ground floor SHOWER ROOM with W.C.
The first floor is approached from a timber staircase rising from the study, here there are two double bedrooms and a third twin bedroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys a delightful view over the gardens adjoining is a small cloakroom with wash hand basin and Saniflo™ style W.C. BEDROOM TWO has a similar view and benefits from a built-in wardrobe, whilst BEDROOM THREE is a twin bedroom with two windows to front and side. Completing the first-floor accommodation is the BATHROOM, now a shower room with cubicle, wash hand basin and W.C.
Outside
Of great appeal are the gardens. To the front of the cottage is a generous seating area easily able to accommodate a sizeable table for entertaining outside or simply sitting in the garden enjoying the bird song. The established garden has a delightful array of shrubs, and mature plants and trees including pine, laurel, peach, and holly - providing year-round colour. There is an additional seating area, with adjacent small area of timber decking, under which we are advised is the ‘village pond’ The garden meanders with steps rising to the rear garden, hedged with an area of lawn, whilst a shingle path with small retaining wall leads in turn to a small courtyard area to the fore of the dining room.
Vehicular access is via double opening gates, there is ‘off lane’ parking for numerous vehicles leading in turn to the large garaging with up and over door workbench power and light with side personal door. Adjacent is a car port with vine! Additional outbuildings include the timber workshop, greenhouse and log and coal stores.
Location
The ever-popular village of West Knighton is of medieval origins, the village has an 11th century church and a village pub, The New Inn. The nearby village of Broadmayne is approximately one mile distant and benefits from a well-regarded First school, village shop / Post Office and an additional public house. With country walks on your doorstep and Ringstead Bay just a short distance away are some of the many attractions within the area known for its Outstanding Natural Beauty: couple this with its proximity to the county town of Dorchester (some 3 miles SE) with its array of amenities including the mainline (London/Waterloo) stations are just some of the numerous advantages of this lovely village location.
