A great opportunity to purchase this detached, stone cottage with two double bedrooms and backing onto pastureland. The village lies in the heart of the Blackmore Vale countryside and boasts a primary school and ancient church. For everyday facilities the village of Marnhull is approximately 2 miles away with further facilities about five miles away in the historic hilltop town of Shaftesbury and four miles to Gillingham, which has a mainline train station. The cottage has benefitted from a full renovation that included re-thatching the front and ridge, general repairs where needed and re-netting to the whole roof, re-wiring and re-plumbing, replacement kitchen units with some built in appliances and new shower room suite as well as a new oil-fired heating system and flooring throughout.

This lovely home boasts many character features with some windows having a leaded light finish and deep windowsills, exposed ceiling beams, upright timbers and floorboards and a wonderful inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam and bread oven were revealed during the restoration. A viewing is essential to truly appreciate what this delightful home has to offer and how it would satisfy many needs from those looking for a full-time home in a village location to those seeking a peaceful retreat from a hectic city life.
