" A great opportunity to purchase a charming semi detached part thatched cottage presented to the market with the bonus of no onward chain and boasting some fabulous views over the nearby deer farm and countryside. The cottage is situated on the edge of the village of East Knoyle where there is a convenience store with post office, public houses and a church and enjoys good communication links to major towns with the historic town of Shaftesbury just four miles away. We believe that the cottage dates back to the 1700's with deeds going back to about 1818 and was believed to have been home to farm hands. The property is currently home to its fourth and fifth generation of the same family and is coming to the open market for the first time in over sixty years. The current sellers have created a home which combines traditional cottage living with modern day conveniences
- retaining character features such as cottage windows with leaded light inlay and some with deep sills, exposed timbers, lovely fireplaces with wood burners and beams and flagstone flooring and benefits from oil fired underfloor heating and a recent sympathetic extension to the side. A viewing is imperative to really appreciate this home and to see how it would meet a great many potential buyers' requirements.
