A beautifully presented and extended two-bedroom semi-detached home, set in the sought-after and historic village of Tolpuddle. This modernised and extended property offers a bright and spacious open plan living area, perfect for everyday living and entertaining, complete with a feature wood burner. There are two generous double bedrooms and well-proportioned accommodation throughout. Outside, the property boasts a substantial and well landscaped rear garden, ideal for relaxing or hosting, while the addition of solar panels provides improved energy efficiency.
Surrounded by stunning countryside walks, this is an excellent opportunity to enjoy village living in a stylish, move-in ready home.
Entering the property, a welcoming hallway leads you through to the main living space, with stairs rising to the first floor.
The heart of the home is the bright and inviting open plan living area. The lounge is centred around a cosy wood burner, creating a warm and relaxing space, while the dining area offers ample room for entertaining. French-style doors open directly onto the rear garden, providing a seamless indoor-outdoor flow—perfect for hosting family and friends.
The modern fitted kitchen is well-equipped with a range of eye-level and base units, generous work surfaces, plumbing for a dishwasher, and space for a range oven. Two useful storage cupboards are located at the entrance to the open plan area, one of which has plumbing in place for a potential downstairs W.C.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both served by the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous size with a dual aspect, allowing copious natural light to flood the room, while pleasant views can also be enjoyed. Bedroom two is positioned to the rear, benefiting from panoramic countryside views over the garden.
The bathroom is fitted with a modern suite, including a bath with shower over, vanity wash hand basin, heated towel rail, and W.C.
Externally, a standout feature of the home is the beautifully landscaped rear garden. A patio area provides the perfect spot for outdoor seating and includes two log stores, two storage sheds and a lean to. Steps lead up to a spacious lawn, bordered by a variety of shrubs and planting for added privacy and a shingle area with a greenhouse. A rear gate offers potential for additional access and opens directly out to a bridleway giving right of access, which then backs onto surrounding fields—ideal for dog walking and enjoying the countryside.
To the front, a driveway provides valuable off-road parking.
