5 bedroom detached house for sale

Overview
Are delighted to offer this Character 4 Bedroom Detached House with Additional Detached Annexe Brook Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched cottage in a sought after, and very friendly village. There is a lovely mature garden, not too large, and a heated outdoor swimming pool (not as expensive to run as one might think). The house is characterful with exposed beams and large open fire places in two of the rooms. The views from the house are of houses surrounding Brook Cottage, and from the garden, the church offers pleasant viewing.

Iwerne Minster is on the A 350 between Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum. Both towns offer more adequate local shopping and amenities. Salisbury, Poole, Bournemouth, Sherborne, Dorchester and Yeovil are all about 40 mins drive and offer cinemas, theatres as well as shopping.

The main house is 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms and 3 bathrooms. Storage in Brook Cottage is very good, not common in old buildings.
The annexe has a large workshop, office and a 5th bedroom and bathroom and could be used as a separate abode.

The property has mains water, electricity, drainage and oil fired central heating for both house and annexe and a pumped heat exchanger for the swimming pool.

Village amenities include a pub (The Talbot Inn), a village shop and a very good butcher. The village has Clayesmore School, a small and popular public school.
Main line stations are at Gillingham and Tisbury and the trains run into Waterloo Station, about 2 hours from Gillingham, and 1 hour 45 mins from Tisbury.

The outside is approached off Old School Lane (postcode states Watery Lane) and there is gravel and tarmac parking area in front of the house, which will easily accommodate 4 cars and up to 8.

The village is also well situated for several public schools including Bryanston, Sherborne, Leweston, Milton Abbey, St Mary's in Shaftesbury, Salisbury, Port Regis, Sandroyd, Hansford and Knighton house.

Clayesmore School offers the Sports Centre, with the Council, to the public, so an indoor swimming pool and gym facilities are 5 mins walk away as well as opportunities for local football teams, tennis, squash and a wide range of other sports activities. There is racing at Wincanton and Salisbury, and plenty of local walks and cycling opportunities and the coast is an easy 40 min drive.
