A rare opportunity to acquire A charming refurbished cottage set on nearly 1 acre of land

Situated in the heart of the stunning Dorset countryside, yet convenient to local amenities, this beautifully renovated and extended part-cob cottage offers a perfect fusion of historic character and contemporary comfort. Thought to date back to the 1870s, the property has been meticulously updated by the current owners to create a stylish and functional living space.

Set within approximately 0.9 acres of land, the cottage boasts uninterrupted, panoramic views over rolling countryside and farmland to the west. Despite its tranquil, semi-rural setting, the property is conveniently located near local amenities, including highly regarded First and Middle schools, as well as the town centre of Verwood, which offers supermarkets, cafés, and medical services.

Upon entering the cottage, you’re welcomed by a hallway that leads into a generously sized living room, which enjoys a bright, sunny aspect looking out over the grounds to the south. This creates a welcoming and relaxing space. The kitchen, recently installed, features a tasteful range of wall and floor units, finished with an oak-effect work surface. Integrated appliances include an oven, hob with extractor fan, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher.

The newly added dining room is a true standout, with windows framing the breathtaking views of the surrounding fields. Patio doors provide direct access to the rear garden, enhancing the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Completing the ground floor is an additional bedroom, which benefits from an ensuite shower room and could also serve as an ideal study or home office.

Upstairs, a landing leads to three spacious double bedrooms, each offering unique views over the surrounding property. The family bathroom has been tastefully designed with a contemporary touch, featuring full tiling, a bath, a separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin, and WC. The bathroom is cleverly connected to both Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 3 via Jack and Jill doors, offering added convenience. Bedroom 2 further benefits from its own ensuite, complete with a toilet and wash hand basin.

The property is accessed via a private gated driveway off Margards Lane, leading to a large parking area with ample space for several vehicles. The expansive grounds offer exciting potential for landscaping and personalising the outdoor space, making the most of the tranquil setting and stunning views.

The property is offered with the benefit of having no forward chain.
