Features and description
A charming character cottage set back from the road in a peaceful village location, conveniently situated between Blandford Forum and Sturminster Newton.
The property underwent a full refurbishment approximately three years ago and now offers well-presented accommodation throughout. The fitted kitchen includes an electric hob and oven, freestanding fridge/freezer and washing machine. The cosy lounge provides a welcoming living space and features a fireplace with an electric wood-burner style stove.
The ground floor also benefits from a modern shower room, while upstairs there are two good-sized double bedrooms.
Outside, the cottage enjoys a mainly front-facing garden which is fully enclosed with a garden gate, creating a private and secure outdoor space. To the rear there is a small additional area suitable for storage and bins. On-road parking is available directly outside the property.
A delightful cottage ideal for those seeking village living with easy access to nearby market towns.
