Prior to being the current character home in this quaint village setting. This 18th century cottage has a story to tell. Known as ‘The Ovens’ the oven is still very evident and used for baking until the end of the 20th century. Having had many guises, a bakery to a shop then a sweet and tobacconist shop, then becoming once more a bakery this three-bedroom treasure reflects the changing times.

The character accommodation is approached through the ENTRANCE PORCH into the inviting HALLWAY with doors to the two well proportioned reception rooms, stairs to the first floor, and door to the discreetly positioned CLOAKROOM; with W.C., corner wash hand basin and window providing natural light. The welcoming SITTING ROOM is light and airy with twin windows with views out to Acreman Street and the village scape. This convivial room is centred around the Victoriana fireplace with tiled hearth and inserts set in an impressive timber surround. The DINING ROOM readily accommodates a sizable dining table for entertaining and family gatherings. Centrepiece is the extensive stone and brick work with the woodburning stove for those cooler evenings and the feature ovens that harken back to a bygone era of the baking of cakes. A door provides access to outside with natural light coming through courtesy of the windows to either side. On a practical note, located in the dining room is an under-stair storage cupboard. Three easy steps rise to the KITCHEN and an array of wall mounted and floor-based cupboards, with timber counter tops for food preparation. The twin butler style sink unit is positioned under one of the four windows, whilst appliances include the electric range with fume hood over, slimline dishwasher, fridge/freezer and provision for a washing machine. A door leads in turn to the CONSERVATORY with access to outside and an ideal spot to survey the generous garden.

Venturing upstairs is the landing with view along Acreman Street. From this centre point doors radiate out to the three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is of generous proportions with twin south facing windows flooding the area with light. Fitted wardrobes provides for storage. Additional light emanates from the double doors to the BREAKFAST TERRACE. This private space with balustrading is the ideal vantage spot to survey the gardens, the gently undulating glorious countryside, and spot the Cerne Abbas iconic giant. BEDROOMS TWO and BEDROOM THREE lie to the front of the residence with windows enjoying views of the village scape and neighbouring character properties. Concluding the accommodation is the BATHROOM, with suite comprising vanity unit with wash hand basin WC. and panelled bath with hand shower attachment.

To the North side is the drive providing off road parking leading in turn to the GARAGE/WORKSHOP with double opening timber doors and both power and light. To the rear of the garage is a further WORKSHOP/SHED with twin windows providing natural light and door to the REAR GARDEN is a delight approaching SOME 100FT in length and enjoying far reaching views to the rear; the garden is largely laid to lawn with various areas of interest. A paved patio provides an idyllic spot for entertaining outside or for simply sitting and enjoying the garden. A play area has been assigned with swing and timber frame. Keeping all generations suitably engaged is a GREENHOUSE and TIMBER SHED. To the rear of the garden is the STUDIO with double opening doors. Mature trees and planting add to the interest. Concluding the outside is a LOG STORE and garden tap.

Location
Nestled close to the very heart of Cerne Abbas – one of England’s loveliest villages, famous for the Cerne Abbas Giant carved into a hillside – this character village residence is surrounded by natural beauty, with enchanting walks close by and panoramic views of the green Dorset hills. Better still, the views are guaranteed; this Conservation Area village sits within Dorset National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Cerne Abbas is, however, very much a working village, with a vibrant community feel. Three pubs, a village store / Post office, surgery, well-regarded first school, church, and new village hall are all within easy walking distance. Moreover, Cerne Abbas is magnificently situated in the centre of the county. From golf at Dorchester or Sherborne to swimming and sailing off the Jurassic Coast, the best that Dorset has to offer is all but on your doorstep.
