The Property
Situated in this secluded spot in Charminster, this character cottage has been modernised by the current vendor creating this tranquil getaway and maximising the potential this property has to offer.
The accommodation begins with the porch, the ideal space for coats and shoes before entering the lounge. The light and airy lounge offers plenty of space for furniture and opens through to the kitchen with stairs rising to the first floor.
The lounge is filled with evening light from the large window to the front and also has an attractive 'exposed' fireplace with wood burning stove.
As you travel through the ground floor you enter the modern kitchen which is a lovely well appointed space offering room for modern appliances with plenty of storage and working space. There is also a useful breakfast bar and window to the side.
An opening then leads through to the dining room and you are immediately struck by the views to the rear from the double doors. This room offers space for dining table to sit and enjoy a meal with friends and family, the Vendor has previously utilised this space as a guest bedroom.
As you ascend upstairs you are greeted by the two bedrooms and shower room. The principle bedroom is a good double with space for bedroom furniture and storage. Bedroom two has a clever skylight feature and space for bedroom furniture.
The shower room is provided with enclosed shower cubicle WC and wall mounted wash hand basin.
Outside
Gated Access from the front leading to a generous paved area which is ideal for alfresco entertaining and a good sized lawn with shrub and flower borders. There is also a good sized shed with power and light.
Side access leads to the rear decked area proving a delightful seating area overlooking the river and open fields.
Situation
The property is located in the picturesque village of Charminster which is home to a first school, shop/sub post office, two pubs, a pretty Norman church and village hall built by Wyatt Homes during the first phase of Charminster Farm.
Charminster is just a couple of miles from Dorset’s historic county town, Dorchester, which has many restaurants, shops, various leisure facilities, a number of highly regarded schools and the county hospital. A regular bus service operates through the village of Charminster and Dorchester provides rail links to London Waterloo and Bristol Temple Meads.
