A charming two-double-bedroom period cottage set within the historic heart of the market town.
Tucked away on one of the town’s most desirable and sought-after roads, this attractive home sits among other character properties and is just a short walk from the town centre.
The front door opens into a small porch, leading through an archway to a dual-aspect sitting room with a log burner and views over the front of the cottage and the walled patio. A step-up leads to the dining room, where stairs rise to the first floor. This room features a built-in alcove, a crockery cupboard and an understairs cupboard. A wide opening leads to the kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and base units, a gas hob, electric oven and extractor. The washing machine and fridge are included, with space for an additional fridge freezer.
A back door opens onto the pretty walled low maintenance courtyard garden, which is a truly inviting space ideal for outdoor dining. There is also a log store and a pedestrian gate to the street.
Upstairs, the dual-aspect main bedroom is generously sized and includes loft access and a cupboard housing the hot water tank. There is a well-proportioned shower room and a second double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
The cottage benefits from two light tunnels, making the first floor bright, as well as wooden cottage doors, double glazing throughout, and traditional stone-and-brick construction with a slate roof.
Previously run as a successful holiday let, the property has generated an income of around £9,000 per year.
Although the cottage has no dedicated parking, spaces can usually be found on Penny Street.
Location:
The property is conveniently located just a short stroll from the centre of the historic market town of Sturminster Newton. Rich in heritage and tradition, the town still hosts a Monday Market and offers an appealing blend of country and town living. It provides easy access to wonderful walking routes, including the Trailway, and is close to the renowned water mill.
Sturminster Newton features a good selection of independent shops and national retailers, along with doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries. Education is well catered for, with schools for all ages nearby and excellent access to respected private schools such as Clayesmore, Bryanston, Leweston and the Sherborne schools. The town also benefits from a variety of entertainment venues.
Additional amenities can be found in the surrounding towns of Blandford, Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Gillingham, all approximately 10 miles away. Both Sherborne and Gillingham offer mainline railway stations with direct services to London Waterloo and Exeter St David’s.
