Location

West Stour is a small parish that presents a fantastic balance of countryside living and immediate amenities whilst forming one of a collection of three Stour villages situated on the Stour River. The village is known for its very well thought of Pub, The Ship Inn, and sought-after Equestrian facility, The Dorset Showground, with further amenities including a church, village hall and garage with a mini supermarket. The larger market towns of Shaftesbury, Gillingham or Sherborne are all situated within a 10-mile radius and provide an excellent combination schooling options, transport links including mainline train stations and further leisure facilities.

The Property

Situated within the well-appointed village of West Stour, this beautifully presented four-bedroom cottage effortlessly blends traditional character with contemporary living. Rich in character, the home features an impressive inglenook fireplace that creates a warm and welcoming focal point in the main living room whilst dual aspect windows allow for plentiful natural light and views across the garden. Having been updated by the current owners, the kitchen now flows seamlessly into the dining area and incorporates an array of built in appliances, storage and eating spaces ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The ground floor has been extended to further include a useful family room, study and utility area giving a great sense of flexibility throughout. Upstairs, four comfortable and well-proportioned bedrooms are complimented by two modern bathrooms, one of which is a Jack and Jill.

Outside

Front: A hardstanding driveway provides plentiful off-road parking whilst a garage, complete with power and light, offers useful storage. Side access is also granted to the rear of the home.

Rear: Boasting two delightful gardens, the cottage is a haven for those with a keen interest in gardening. Situated adjacent to the home is a lawn, edged with beautiful hedgerows and flowering borders along with a pond and raised vegetable patches and fruit trees. Furthermore, positioned behind the home and taking full advantage of the southerly aspect is a second lawn, equally as inviting due to the array of horticultural plants throughout.
