  • Two double bedrooms
  • Off-road parking

  • Work-from-home office

Although now known as Weighbridge Cottage, we understand that this brick built cottage was the former Toll House at Stoborough. Thought to have been built in the 19th century, it was a functional building probably connected to the other tollgates in the area. It is not listed, and is now a sweet and cosy home.

Step straight into the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM. This really is the hub of the home, it is here that you will spend time cooking and feasting on the produce from the garden! There is ample space for a small dining table and an easy chair too.

Turn to the right and you can step into the cosy SITTING ROOM, the fireplace will keep you warm in those chilly evenings. There is lots of room for squashy sofas and a work desk, should you need.

Take the stairs from the kitchen, which rise to the landing and here there are two double bedrooms.

The first DOUBLE BEDROOM, has views out to the garden and rural views beyond.

There is a SHOWER ROOM, with basin and W.C., which services both bedrooms.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, is a generous size and has views out to the village.

Outside
Unusually, for Stoborough and rather pleasingly there is a GATED PARKING PLACE, the neighbour has pedestrian access along the path to their cottage.
There is a car charger handily placed in the corner of the driveway.

From a side door in the kitchen, the rear GARDEN is reached by a right of way through the neighbour's garden.

In the cottage garden, which is surprisingly large, there is room for a chicken run, a veggie patch, a green house and a seating area, which is quiet and perfectly placed to drink in the rural views. In case of inclement weather there is a summer house too.

A wooden built WORKSHOP, has electricity to it and is fully insulated and is currently well used. You could turn it into a spacious home office, hobby room or entertaining room to dodge the rain on Summer days.

There are solar panels located on the workshop roof, which can provide up to 15 Kw per day.

Location
This lovely cottage sits in the heart of the very popular village of Stoborough, with a village school and active village hall, it is located just outside the Saxon walled riverside market town of Wareham. Wareham has a mainline railway station (London Waterloo 2 1/2 hrs) and a wonderful variety of independent shops, schools, library, leisure centre, churches, cinema and an array of cafes and public houses. Stoborough Heath offers enchanting walks and Arne Nature Reserve also perfect for walkers, nature lovers and dog owners. The Medieval village of Corfe Castle is a short distance from Stoborough en route to the traditional seaside town of Swanage and wonderful beach at Studland all on the spectacular Jurassic Coastline.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on August 19, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 19, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
