3 bedroom semi-detached house

Tucked away in the peaceful village of Owermoigne, this engaging attached period cottage offers a delightful rear garden and an unusually generous amount of private parking, as well as a single garage.

The entrance is through a solid timber barn door which opens to a welcoming LOBBY, from which you can access a convenient downstairs CLOAKROOM with a modern suite comprising a W.C and vanity unit with basin, together with a BOOT ROOM with space for hanging coats/boots.

The SITTING ROOM is a bright room with outlook over both the village lane and the rear garden, and has the advantage of an inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel burner for cosy evenings in the cooler months.

A rear lobby, with useful understairs cupboard, leads to the kitchen and dining room. The generously proportioned DINING ROOM has double doors which gives additional access to the bright and airy KITCHEN extension, which has a tiled floor, and a PART-GLAZED ROOF flooding the area with light. It is equipped with base and wall units providing drawer and cupboard space plus built-in wine storage.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM has open views over the front and rear of the property and benefits from an ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM, with shower, vanity unit with wash hand basin and W.C. BEDROOMS TWO and THREE also enjoy a dual aspect, flooding the room with natural light, and are both good size double rooms with bedroom three having a useful built-in cupboard. The spacious BATHROOM provides a contemporary suite providing a W.C., vanity unit with wash-hand basin, and bath with rain shower.

The garden is generously sized, with a gravelled area providing ample OFF-ROAD PARKING, along with a SINGLE GARAGE which has light, power and remote-controlled up and over door. There are also several outbuildings, including a timber GARDEN SHED, a stone-built POTTING SHED, and a second stone-built WORKSHOP which has power. There's even a well! At the end of the level lawn a little stone bridge crosses a trickling clear stream with open countryside beyond.

Location
Owermoigne, a quaint little Dorset village, lies just off the main A35 with the ancient church of St Michael at the heart of the village overlooking the village green. Opposite the church and along the lane are some delightful whitewashed thatched cottages. Despite being inland, the smugglers of long ago used Owermoigne as a convenient storage place and hid their contraband in the church tower! Owermoigne was originally a Saxon settlement by the name of Ogre latterly Oweres: not too hard to see how the joining of Ower and the name of the landholding family of Le Moigne came to give the village its name. On a practical note, the village has a petrol filling station with well-stocked farm shop and a village hall with a cricket club next door offering open membership serving as a social meeting point.

It is also easily accessible to the county town of Dorchester with its excellent range of facilities, including mainline railway station (to London/Waterloo) which lies approx 7 miles west. There is also a mainline station at Moreton to London/Waterloo (approx. 2 miles). The World Heritage coastline is approximately 2.5 miles south, with beautiful Ringstead Bay approximately 3 miles distance and within similar distance is the golf course at Came Down. The area is understandably designated as one of ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty’ and with the countryside on your doorstep, there is plentiful opportunity for walking and riding.
