Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Rural setting with outstanding views
  • Set back from the road off its own gated driveway
  • Large living room with wood burner
  • Spacious kitchen/breakfast room
  • Standing in almost 0.5 acre grounds
A delightful 4 bedroom semi-detached 18th Century cottage set in grounds approaching half an acre, in a rural location about 7 miles from the market town of Wimborne Minster and less than 4 miles from Cranborne.

Set back from the road and accessed via its own driveway and electric gates, this attractive former farmworkers’ cottage is a rural retreat with outstanding views over the surrounding countryside.

This charming country home boasts a wealth of character features including exposed pine floorboards and a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace (with a 7kw wood burning stove.) Services include mains water and electricity, and a private drainage system. The cottage has UPVC double glazed windows, LPG central heating, and Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) broadband which offers speeds up to 1000 Mb.

There is a large, triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with a large door to the garden, giving wonderful country views. Also on the ground floor there is a spacious fourth bedroom, a cloakroom, a useful larder and a laundry room.

Accessed from the rear is a large office/studio with a delightful rural outlook.

Off the spacious first floor landing (which has hatches to 2 insulated loft spaces) there are 3 large double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite bathroom, plus a family bathroom.

Outside there is parking for several vehicles on the gravelled driveway. There are lawned gardens with a patio, established trees and borders, a deck with a sunken trampoline, and a summerhouse (with power point.) In a further fenced area there is a small orchard and a vegetable plot. In total the cottage benefits from 5 outbuildings, 4 of which have power and lighting. The largest is 10m x 4m and makes a great garage, workshop or studio. The property is well set back with the majority of the gardens lying to the front, offering almost complete privacy.

Location:
Matterley Cottages enjoys good road access to both Wimborne and Cranborne, both of which offer a wide range of amenities. There are state schools for young children in Witchampton and Gaunts Common, and Dumpton Preparatory School and a local shop in Furzehill. The wider area is well served by both state and independent schools.

Directions:
From Wimborne, take the B3078 towards Cranborne. After about 5 miles, you’ll pass The Horton Inn on the left hand side. After about a further quarter of a mile, Matterley Cottages can be seen on the right hand side. The third driveway is number 4’s.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
