Situated in a lovely position in the centre of the village and just a two-minute walk from The Greyhound Inn, 18 High Street is a charming example of a mid-19th century cottage and is Grade II listed. It is set back and above the passing lane and has a classic symmetrical front with four tall sash windows around a central arched opening around the front door and fanlight above it. The cottage has accommodation on three floors including a suite of converted attics plus a rear single storey extension containing the kitchen. It sits under a Welsh slate roof and the exterior is covered with painted render scribed to resemble cut stone. The interior is brimming with character with many original architectural fittings including wainscot panelling in the rear hall and elegant fireplaces in both reception rooms. It has two lovely reception rooms with timber floors at the front overlooking the lane and a rear-facing kitchen/breakfast room that looks out onto the terrace and rear garden. The kitchen has a stone tiled floor, is fully fitted with units under timber work surfaces and a range of built-in electric appliances and has a separate alcove with space for a large American-style fridge and a kitchen table seating six people. On the first floor is a long, wide landing well-lit by natural light, which leads to the family bath and shower room and two double bedrooms, both with views of the surrounding countryside. Within the roof space are two further bedrooms: a walk-through single bedroom leading to a large double bedroom.

Behind the cottage is a charming, private garden enclosed by close-boarded timber fencing and with views out to the unspoilt countryside surrounding the village. Immediately behind the cottage is a good-sized paved terrace with ample space for barbequing and outside dining. A short flight of steps leads up to a small, level lawn fringed by narrow, colourful borders filled with roses, shrubs and herbaceous perennials. At the back of the garden in one corner is a timber arbour that provides a lovely, west-facing seating area sheltering under Virginia creeper and climbing roses. In the adjacent corner is a timber garden store.

18 High Street is situated in the peaceful, unspoilt village of Sydling St Nicholas in a beautiful valley within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has immediate access to miles of wonderful walks and the village has an active community centred around the popular 'Greyhound Inn' pub and the parish church. The neighbouring and larger village of Cerne Abbas has a village shop, primary school and a GP surgery. Dorchester is nearby for most day to day needs plus a mainline railway station and the county is blessed with a wide choice of popular schools from both the state and independent sectors.

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

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on October 11, 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
