" Enjoying wonderful views over the Blackmore Vale countryside is this delightful semi detached cottage set in about a third of an acre and boasting a private but not isolated position with Stalbridge - Dorset's smallest town - just over a mile away. The town offers a selection of shops, doctors, dentists and primary school to name a few. The Cottage itself dates back to the 1850's and forms part of the dower house for the Thornhill Estate and was updated a few years ago to provide a contemporary rural home. The property benefits from Upvc double glazing with an attractive Georgian bar inlay and has oil fired central heating via radiators from a combination boiler. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate just what this home offers with and easy to use layout and well proportioned rooms.

In brief, the ground floor accommodation consists of entrance porch, sitting room with Bath stone fireplace and burner, dining room with French doors and Plantation style shutters, light kitchen fitted with a range of bespoke units and Beech works surfaces and opens into a good sized conservatory with French doors opening to a paved sun terrace. There is also a cloakroom and a boot/utility room - indispensable for country living. On the first floor there is a galleried landing, bathroom and two double bedrooms, both of which enjoy wonderful rural views. Outside, there is a double garage with workroom/office above, generous parking and gardens lying to the front, side and rear which are mostly laid to lawn and seating areas.
