3 bedroom cottage for sale

Welcome to Jasmine Cottage, a quintessential thatched English cottage situated on a private lane in the historic village of Tolpuddle.

Through a small timber gate intersecting the privacy giving front hedging, a paved front terrace leads to the front of the property, and its entrance.

The sage front door opens into the spacious and bright ENTRANCE with light flooding in from the multitude of windows and four glazed panels in the door. Ideal for kicking off those boots after that country walk. Discreetly positioned is the ground floor SHOWER ROOM, with shower, W.C., & wash hand basin. In true cottage style a door opens through into the character filled and inviting SITTING ROOM, where eyes are immediately drawn towards the impressive brick Inglenook fireplace with inset open fire and timber bressummer beam over. A multitude of exposed beams throughout the room exudes charm and atmosphere with light entering from windows on two sides of the room which acts very much as the heart of the property.

The delightful style of the home continues through into the Farmhouse KITCHEN with exposed flag stone flooring further Inglenook with a fitting AGA™ nestled within. An array of base and eye level cupboards and drawers are complimented with tiled food preparation areas, as well as space and plumbing for a dishwasher. Completing the kitchen equipment, a four-ring hob with fume hood over along with a separate eye double oven. An archway leads through into the UTILITY ROOM with further work surfaces and a suite of further storage options as well as space and plumbing for both washing machine and tumble dryer, and room for a fridge/freezer as well.

The well-proportioned DINING ROOM/BEDROOM THREE is accessed up a couple of steps from the rear of the Sitting Room and is again flooded with light from both the French Doors, with additional glazed side panels, and window to the front of the property. This flexible space not only beckons the outside in, but also offers versatility of use.

Stairs rise to the first floor where a further few steps lead up into the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM. A characterful and bright space with timber flooring and windows to the front and rear, offering views over the rural landscape beyond. The STUDY space is a delightful place for those that work from home, with corner storage options, and again outlines the versatility of the property, utilising the landing space to great effect. BEDROOM TWO is a further double room with two further windows to the front of rear, as well as offering built in wardrobing.

Concluding the well-presented accommodation, is the stylish and beautifully finished FAMILY BATHROOM which offers a freestanding bath, W.C., and twin sinks with vanity storage beneath. The cottage feels is continued with exposed beam detailing and windowsill.

Outside
The outside space of the property simply adds to the appeal and flexibility, with a pair of outbuildings as well as Terrace and separate generous lawned garden, with parking for two vehicles also.

Directly to the fore of the cottage is a generous paved front terrace which sweeps around the side and offers a further raised decked area, perfect for alfresco dining or that early evening drink. Just across the paved area is a useful WORKSHOP with both light and power. A smaller lawned area is situated at the opposite end of the property giving some contrast, colour, and interest.

A few steps across the lane and the main garden for Jamine Cottage reveals itself. Surrounded by privacy giving hedging, a central lawned area is annexed by a selection of further decked and paved areas offering further openair seating and dining options. The delightful Summer House is the perfect retreat for hobbies and is equipped with both light and power, and current with a built in bar! Flanking the garden is a selection of beds and borders. A winning combination.

Location
Much of the village of Tolpuddle falls within a Conservation Area, and therefore retains many of its unspoiled period properties. Known for the six farm labourers named the Tolpuddle Martyrs, the village enjoys a strong sense of community. The recently reopened pub is a cherished local hub, and the vibrant village hall offers a variety of events and activities throughout the year. Close by is Puddletown, where there are many additional facilities including a small supermarket, post office and first and second schools. The area has a large network of public rights of way, perfect for dog walkers and cycling enthusiasts. Easy access to the A35 allows transport links to Dorchester and the business centres of Poole and Bournemouth.
