Steeped in history, the original property is believed to date back to the 18th century, with sympathetic 20th-century additions that complement rather than compete with its character.
From the moment you arrive, the cottage exudes warmth and personality. A welcoming composite stable door opens into the inviting ENTRANCE HALL with a built-in storage cupboard—ideal for coats and shoes. Just off the hallway, you'll find the DOWNSTAIRS SHOWER ROOM, tastefully appointed with a corner shower, pedestal wash basin, W.C., and a window offering natural light and ventilation.
Next to the downstairs shower room is BEDROOM THREE, which can serve as a study or guest room. This delightful space, bathed in light from its triple aspect windows, features exposed beams and offers charming views over the front garden. Whether used as a peaceful home office, creative studio, or occasional bedroom, this room provides exceptional flexibility to suit your lifestyle.
Flowing through to the INNER HALLWAY, you’ll be struck by the home's authentic character—stone walls and rustic beams which create an atmospheric sense of heritage. The staircase rises gently to the first floor, while to your right lies the heart of the home: the SITTING ROOM. With its feature inglenook fireplace, complete with a gas-fired woodburning-style stove, this room is a perfect sanctuary in which to relax after a long day at the beach or after some countryside rambling. Soft wall lighting and side aspect windows frame the room beautifully, creating a warm, intimate ambience.
Designed with both comfort and entertaining in mind, the DINING ROOM is a charming gathering place with space for a generous family dining table, exposed beams above, and patio doors that open into the stunning CONSERVATORY. This light-filled extension features a glass roof, fitted blinds, tiled flooring, and underfloor heating. Triple-aspect windows and bi-fold doors bring the outside in, creating a seamless transition into the glorious gardens beyond—perfect for summer soirees or simply unwinding in a sun-drenched corner.
The KITCHEN, both practical and picturesque, offers captivating views over the surrounding countryside. With a built-in hob and high-level double oven, ample worktop space, wood-effect flooring, and room for multiple appliances, it’s a joy for any culinary enthusiast.
Upstairs, the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM enjoys a side aspect window which frames sweeping views across the Dorset landscape. Double built-in wardrobes eliminate the need for free-standing furniture, enhancing the sense of space and calm. BEDROOM TWO, also a generous double, benefits from dual aspect windows and a built-in wardrobe—an ideal guest retreat or family bedroom.
The FAMILY BATHROOM, tastefully updated in 2018, evokes a sense of indulgence with its freestanding roll-top bath, chrome heated towel rail, window to the rear, and a useful airing cupboard.
Outside
Outside, the magic continues. The gardens and grounds elevate this property into something truly special. A main gated driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles, while a second gated access at the side offers additional space for one more. The front garden is a delight, featuring a detached garage, timber storage shed to the side, and an enchanting summerhouse/home office, fully equipped with power, lighting, and electric heating—ideal for remote work or creative pursuits.
Green-thumbed buyers will adore the well-stocked vegetable garden, complete with raised beds and a greenhouse. Mature shrubs and trees grace the expansive lawns, which wrap around the property and flow seamlessly into the secondary westerly garden—the perfect haven for alfresco dining and summer relaxation. A further wild area beyond the secondary parking space adds a touch of natural whimsy, enclosed by a mixture of mature hedgerows and timber fencing, ensuring both privacy and tranquillity.
Location
The property is positioned just on the edge of the popular village of Morcombelake, which has a well-stocked farm shop and fantastic country and coastal walks over the Golden Cap.
