A SPACIOUS VICTORIAN COTTAGE IN PRETTY VILLAGE LOCATION, MATURE GARDEN & OUTBUILDINGS

A Victorian character terraced cottage with two double bedrooms, a cosy sitting room with a fireplace and a large kitchen/dining room. The cottage is positioned in the thriving village of Shillingstone. The village enjoys a range of facilities which include a public house, a petrol station with shop plus a Co-Op store.

There is access to the North Dorset Trailway with the old railway station and café, plus a large seven-acre recreation ground and a primary school. The village lies approximately 4 miles from the market town of Sturminster Newton and 6 miles from the Georgian market town of Blandford Forum in the opposite direction, both of which offer a comprehensive range of amenities including schools and a hospital.

The front door opens into the entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and a door to the sitting room. The accommodation blends a traditional cottage and contemporary living at its best. The sitting room is a cosy retreat with a fireplace and picture rails. The light filled kitchen/dining space is at the rear of the cottage with a view of the garden and is a lovely entertaining space. It benefits from a walk-in pantry and a further storage cupboard housing the Worcester gas boiler. The kitchen/diner also has a range of base units; an alcove with shelving; an inset ceramic sink and drainer; space for washing machine, cooker and fridge/freezer; and a feature fireplace. There is also plentiful space for seating.

From the landing you access the principal front aspect bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and feature alcove. There is a further double bedroom that overlooks the garden and a spacious well laid out bathroom with a panel enclosed bath, shower cubicle, pedestal basin and WC.

A particular feature of this home is the sizeable outbuildings with history dating back from when the house was a railway cottage, currently used for storage and a workshop, it offers potential for development subject to planning.

The garden has a good size patio with lawn and an abundance of mature plants creating a pretty and secluded garden. At the far end is a greenhouse and further seating area.
