3 bedroom cottage for sale

Our vendor says, “My beautiful Treetops is an old cottage, sitting in a quiet, secluded location off the main lane. To wake up with bird song in Spring and hear owls hooting close by in Winter is delightful. The striking apple tree yields abundant fruit that are delicious raw but can also be baked, or made into chutney with grapes from the vines dried into lovely sticky currants on the Aga, or apple jelly with mint and other herbs from the garden.  The nearby cider museum will crush any surplus apples on their exhibits to make home brew cider!  
From the cottage, it’s just a short walk up to the White Horse and the Ridgeway, or down past the village dairy to sample local ice cream en route to the coast path and the historic Smuggler’s Inn.”  

We are delighted to offer for sale, with no onward chain, this beautiful Grade II Listed cottage set within a quiet lane in the idyllic location of Osmington, a wonderful village on the outskirts of Weymouth.  This 'chocolate box' cottage boasts a spacious lounge / diner, cottage style kitchen, a ground floor shower room, three bedrooms and first floor bathroom, all of which are full of character features.  Outside the cottage enjoys beautiful gardens and a gravelled driveway for off road parking.  

From the entrance lobby, access is gained into the sitting / dining room and ground floor shower room.  The sitting / dining room is simply stunning with a magnificent Inglenook fireplace, housing a multi-fuel burner, feature stone and brick walls as well as exposed beams. Natural light is obtained from dual aspect windows to the front and side.  A door at the rear flows through to the kitchen, hosting a fabulous blue Aga oven and a range of base level storage units, in keeping with the style of the cottage, with space for additional domestic kitchen appliances.  An understairs cupboard provides further useful storage space.  The ground floor shower room has a modern suite comprising an independent shower cubicle, low level WC and pedestal wash hand basin.  

From the first floor landing, access is gained into the cottage's three bedrooms.  Bedroom one is a very pretty double bedroom with a charming front aspect window overlooking the beautiful apple tree and the front garden.  From here a door leads onto a dressing area and then onto a bathroom, which is a bright room with front aspect window, wood panelling and white painted stone walls, low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower mixer tap.  Two further bedrooms, both tastefully decorated, are found at the rear of the property.

The cottage gardens are a further highlight of this property.  The patio area faces a fabulous south westerly aspect and is a wonderful space to enjoy this beautifully maintained garden, which includes two mature vines, a raised vegetable bed, a lawned area with a splendid apple tree.  The garden is pleasantly planted throughout.  To the side of the garden is a gravelled driveway suitable for parking two vehicles.  

Osmington is a charming Dorset village on the outskirts of Preston with a strong sense of community through its ancient thirteenth century church and vibrant village hall, which offers a full calendar of activities throughout the year. The dramatic Jurassic Coastline and South West Coast Path provide a wonderful setting for beautiful coastal walks and a plethora of countryside walks surround the village. The seaside town of Weymouth is four miles away which offers many local shops, restaurants, bars and theatre as well as main railway links to London.
