Property Description
Thought to have been constructed in the early 17th Century, this cobb Cottage offers one of the most unique cottage propositions for its locality and was part of the Canford Estate, whilst Edward Arrowsmith presided over the trust. It was discharged from the Estate in 1923, at which point it formed a semi-detached pair of cottages (pictures available) and soon after was merged to create a single dwelling. A sizeable extension was added in the mid 1930’s and helps form the versatile accommodation which is offered today.

There is a further store room, ideal as a cold storage or garden pantry, and a covered ornate seating area ideal for alfresco entertaining. A wood-built staircase leads to the first floor above the garage which is currently purposed as a hobbies room, but could easily be used to create a home/income suit. There is further covered storage alongside the garage and a pagoda with trellising has been con...
