Marley Cottage is full of character and perfectly blends period charm with modern comfort. If you love period homes, this really is a home you could fall in love with. The cottage has previously been sympathetically extended, and the thatch was redone by the current owner in 2018.
The heart of this home is the bright, sociable country style KITCHEN and DINING AREA, where you can entertain guests or enjoy a quiet lunch. The kitchen is well designed and ideal for a keen cook, providing plenty of storage, with a gas fired Aga providing a lovely focal point. There is an additional electric oven and gas hob as well as space for a fridge and dish washer. The peninsula unit separates the kitchen from a dining area.
A pretty stable door opens out to the garden, inviting the outside in and filling the room with natural light. The period charm continues in the welcoming SITTING ROOM, with its beams and open fireplace. Off the sitting room is a very useful UTILITY/BOOT ROOM and CLOAKROOM which has space for a washing machine, and lots of storage space. It has a door out to the front garden, so perfect for walks in nearby countryside.
A timber staircase rises up to a LANDING AREA and leads to BEDROOM 1, which has two cottage windows with views out to the gardens. Across the landing a spacious BATHROOM features an inviting roll top bath and is the perfect environment to relax and unwind. BEDROOM 2 is another charming double bedroom which can be accessed via a further staircase off the sitting room, currently used as a bookcase. Bedroom 2 also has direct access to the bathroom. Lovely oak floors run throughout the first floor.
Outside
Marley Cottage is as delightful on the outside as it is on the inside and has pretty COTTAGE GARDENS to the front and side. The gardens have been landscaped, and thoughtfully planted to provide interest all year round and low maintenance. There are a number of seating areas to follow the sun and enjoy the pretty planting and attractive views out to The Blackmore Vale. The kitchen stable door leads to a patio area, with a sentry box garden shed, and steps up to a further seating area. There is space for a further shed at the top of the garden. Parking is readily available on the road.
Location
Located in the Enmore Green area of Shaftesbury, Marley Cottage benefits from a quiet, picturesque setting that boasts its own sense of community. Despite its peaceful location, the property is within walking distance of Shaftesbury town centre, offering a perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience.
Shaftesbury is a Saxon market town steeped in cultural history and offering stunning views over Thomas Hardy’s Blackmore Vale. The town offers a thriving community, a variety of independent shops, quality restaurants, cosy pubs, and welcoming cafés. The iconic cobbled street of Gold Hill adds to the town's charm. Excellent road and rail connections provide easy access to Bath, Gillingham, Salisbury, Sherborne, and Warminster, with London just a train ride away. The area also offers a choice of excellent independent and state schools, making it an ideal location for families.
