2 Bedroom Terraced House for sale in Dorchester

2 2 1

An adorable cosy cottage, with welcoming inglenook fireplace as you step though the thatched ENTRANCE PORCH into the SITTING ROOM. Ancient beams, in keeping with its 200 year plus history and the fireplace with bressummer beam and with Gazco™ log burner effect gas fire, create a most inviting atmosphere in which to reflect on its bygone history. Natural light comes courtesy of the window framing the village scape and a view of the quiet lane from the cottage which is opposite St Mary’s Village Church. Tucked away behind a door the cottage staircase rises to the first floor, with understairs cupboard, whilst quarry tiled flooring continues into the separate DINING ROOM. Enjoying similar views of the church and grounds, this additional reception room with ceiling beam readily accommodates a sizable table and chairs.

The KITCHEN lies to the rear of the cottage with the sink ideally positioned under the window that overlooks the delightful walled courtyard with stable style door leading to outside. Food preparation work surfaces with cupboards under together with wall mounted cupboards provide for storage. Appliances include Bosch™ hob with fume hood over together with Bosch™ oven. There is addition space for a refrigerator and plumbing for a slimline dishwasher. On a practical note, the Worcester™ gas boiler is also situated in the kitchen. A door leads into the UTILITY ROOM, again with window to the courtyard, here there is a useful storage cupboard and plumbing and space for a washing machine. A further door opens to the BATHROOM. The suite comprises a P shaped bath with mixer tap and shower unit and screen, wash hand basin and W.C.

Venturing upstairs the landing has a window overlooking the churchyard and provides plentiful light. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM again exudes character with further beams, the chimney breast and views of the village to both front and rear. BEDROOM TWO does not disappoint, with further beam and views to the rear and the interesting village scape. Concluding the character accommodation is the upstairs CLOAKROOM with small vanity unit with wash hand basin and Saniflo™ type W.C.

Outside
This picture book rose clad Grade II Listed period cottage has a well-stocked frontage to the lane. To the rear is a beautifully walled sheltered courtyard garden. Fully enclosed with a pair of bespoke gates which could provide vehicle access to the courtyard. To add both colour and interest there are raised borders well stocked with lavender, ivy, honeysuckle, Japanese camellia, and rose to name but a few. A timber shed secures tools and storage.

Location
The ever-popular village of Puddletown, approx. five miles to the east of Dorchester and only moments from the enchanting Piddle Valley and Hardy’s countryside, forms a ‘hub’ for the nearby villages and hamlets due to its plentiful facilities. These include Puddletown First and Middle Schools (also in catchment area for Thomas Hardye School, Dorchester), an excellent doctors' surgery, small supermarket, and post office, with the focal point being the delightful St Mary's Church, dating back over 300 years. Furthermore, there is the quintessential village pub, The Blue Vinny, named after the famous Dorset cheese and celebrated for its excellent cuisine.
