Welcome to Melbury Cottage, a modern thatched cottage with traditional allure. Nestled in the heart of Cerne Abbas, this delightful home offers a warm welcome from the moment you step through the front door, sheltered by a quaint canopy.
The ENTRANCE HALL greets you with its generous proportions, setting a welcoming tone for the rest of the property. A practical storage cupboard is conveniently located to the side, ideal for hanging coats and storing walking shoes.
At the front of the cottage, the KITCHEN is a harmonious blend of practicality and style. Equipped with a range of wall and floor-mounted units, topped with elegant granite work surfaces. A Butler sink with a mixer tap and pull-out spray adds a touch of classic sophistication, while integrated appliances, including a Neff ™ eye-level double oven, AEG ™ gas hob with extractor above, and a Whirlpool ™ fridge/freezer, ensure modern convenience.
The SITTING ROOM, positioned at the rear, is a spacious and filled with natural light thanks to the large windows framing views of the courtyard garden and the beautifully maintained communal gardens beyond. A gas-fired wood burner, set within an attractive stone surround and hearth, promises cosy evenings during cooler months. Off the sitting room, a good sized under stairs cupboard with shelving provides additional storage for garden cushions, coats and everyday essentials. A rear porch provides seamless access to the courtyard and garage positioned to the side of the property.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the generous sized DINING ROOM comfortably accommodates a large table and additional furniture. This space is perfect for family meals or formal gatherings, with its proximity to the kitchen enhancing the home's sociable layout.
Discreetly positioned off the entrance hall is a CLOAKROOM with a W.C. and additional storage, featuring floor-mounted units with granite surfaces and an inset wash hand basin. Integrated appliances, including a Hotpoint ™ washing machine and Bosch ™ tumble dryer, are cleverly incorporated for convenience.
Ascending the stairs from the hallway, you arrive at a generous landing on the first floor, which houses an airing cupboard with the gas central heating boiler. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, positioned at the front, benefits from built-in wardrobes and is complemented by a stylish, fully tiled en-suite SHOWER ROOM with large shower cubicle, wash-hand basin with vanity unit under, heated towel rail and W.C.
The SECOND BEDROOM, a comfortable double, offers access to loft space and enjoys views of the communal gardens and countryside beyond. The THIRD BEDROOM serves as a versatile single room, perfect for a home office or hobby space.
Completing the first-floor accommodation, the family BATHROOM is beautifully appointed with a modern suite, including a bathtub with screen and a shower over, a wash-hand basin with a vanity unit, and a W.C.
Melbury Cottage is an ideal home for those seeking a harmonious blend of village lifestyle and modern living.
Outside
To the rear of the property is a south facing courtyard that enjoys an attractive outlook across the communal gardens with far reaching views of the countryside hills beyond. To the side, a paved patio area provides the ideal spot for a table and chairs to enjoy outdoor dining, together with a raised decked terrace that takes advantage of a slightly elevated position overlooking the courtyard and surrounding gardens. A pedestrian gate from the courtyard leads to a pathway guiding you to the parking area, garage, and the beautifully maintained communal gardens that form part of Barton Lodge.
A barn style single garage is positioned to the side of the property and has an up and over door, offering parking or storage.
Location
The charming village of Cerne Abbas, renowned for the iconic chalk figure of the Cerne Giant carved into the hillside, has evolved from its origins as a Benedictine settlement into one of Dorset's most sought-after and vibrant rural communities. Perfectly positioned between Dorchester and Sherborne, the village enjoys an excellent range of local amenities. These include a well-regarded first school, a friendly village shop and delicatessen stocked with local produce (and also serving as the post office), a respected doctors' surgery with pharmacy, a cricket ground, and no fewer than three inviting pub-restaurants offering both lunchtime and evening dining. Dorchester lies just eight miles to the south, with the historic abbey town of Sherborne around twelve miles to the north.
