NO FURTHER CHAIN! A SIMPLY STUNNING COTTAGE! Lavender Cottage is a very pretty, deceptively spacious (1503 square feet), semi-detached, thatched, natural stone, modern, character cottage set in a superb village centre position in the best address in this picturesque Dorset village. It is a very short walk to the reputable village pub, shop / post office, primary school and church. There are lovely countryside walks very nearby without having to jump into the car. The current owners have finished this home to an unrivalled, high-end standard throughout with an eclectic mix of character features and light, contemporary open-plan living. With this cottage, buyers can enjoy all of the trappings of cottage character without the worry of the maintenance and running costs of older, period homes.
The cottage enjoys a stunning, landscaped, east-facing rear garden enjoying good levels of sunshine throughout the day, off road parking for residents and a generous single garage in a block to the side.
The property is full of cottage features including cast iron multi-fuel burning stove, an oil-fired Rayburn, oak and flagstone floors and exposed beams. However, it is heated via an oil-fired radiator central heating system, electric under floor heating and also boasts period-style heritage uPVC double glazing. It is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing. The deceptively spacious accommodation extends to approximately 1500 square feet and benefits from good levels of natural light from dual and multiple aspects. It comprises large entrance dining hall with study area, sitting room, ‘wow-factor’ open-plan kitchen / family room with feature lantern ceiling window and ground floor WC. On the first floor there is a large landing area, generous double master bedroom with en-suite shower room, second sizeable double bedroom and a family bathroom.
Thornford offers a superb public house, primary school rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, village store and post office, village hall, parish church and its own cricket club. All of these amenities are within walking distance of the property. In addition Thornford station is situated on the Weymouth to Bristol line which includes Bath and links to the Midlands and North. The popular, historic town centre of Sherborne is only a short drive away with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools. It is also a short drive to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. The property is perfect for those couples or families making the most of the cheap mortgages available at the moment, buyers cashing out of the South East and London market or cash buyers looking for their perfect pied-a-terre / home to settle in, potentially linked to the wonderful selection of local private schools. It may also be of interest to the residential letting or holiday letting market.

About this agent
SUCCESSFULLY SELLING AND LETTING PROPERTY IN WEST LONDON SINCE 1983 Welcome to our webpage; we'll get as close as we possibly can to extending the same type of warm welcome you'd receive if you popped into our offices in Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Isleworth, or Northfields. That's our patch, and it's a patch we know well, having opened our first office in Ealing over 30 years ago. Things were very different then: we were without the Internet and with a full postbag, but the fundamentals of estate agency have remained the same. We still pride ourselves on being a local, independent agency with client service, communication and integrity as our core values. Whatever your property interests - residential or commercial, sales or lettings, property management or new homes, you'll find something of interest here.
