A most charming brick & flint built semi detached cottage on the outskirts of this charming village.
The front door is accessed from the village lane and comes into a large vestibule which has had a new double glazed unit fitted. A solid door leads into the sitting room which is front facing and has a wood burner fire with deep recesses to either side and the cottage style window with secondary glazing. A walk in cupboard has good storage for the house. The dining room is to the rear of the house with a fireplace and the kitchen to one side and a further door to the conservatory.
The kitchen has a range of wall and floor units and space for a fridge and a washer / dryer.
The tile floored conservatory is beyond the dining room via arch glazed door and is upvc constructed and adds a good further reception room taking in the southerly views. The old WC is to one side by the back door.
Upstairs has a small landing with loft hatch above. Bedroom 1 is to the front and has a fine feature fireplace and a deep recess has a built in wardrobe. Bedroom 2 has a south facing aspect over fields with deep recesses with space for cupboards.
The bathroom has a corner bath with shower over, a WC and a wash hand basin and electric towel rail. A cupboard houses the 'aquafficient' instant hot water unit system.
Situation
Fontmell Magna is a charming North Dorset village some four miles south of Shaftesbury. The village has an excellent community, village hall, surgery, primary school, church, pub and village shop and there are some amazing views over the dramatic surrounding countryside. Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury cater for everyday needs and the large towns of Poole, Bournemouth and the cathedral city of Salisbury are within 45 minutes' drive. There is some fantastic walking and riding countryside in the immediate area and excellent schools in both state and private sectors. There are good road links to Gillingham for rail services to London Waterloo and the A303 is also accessed just north of Gillingham.
