Situated in an idyllic rural setting, this thatched, grade II listed cottage is oozing with historic character.
Inside, the first floor hosts three double bedrooms, arranged around a central staircase and landing with generous built-in cupboard storage. Each bedroom showcases charming features such as latch doors, exposed roof timbers and sloping eaves and benefits from double-glazed casement windows.
On the ground floor, a recently updated shower room, accessed from a central inner hall, boasts a spacious shower cubicle, vanity unit with an inset sink, toilet, heated towel rack, and tiled flooring. The sitting room radiates charm, featuring a beamed ceiling, an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and an exposed brick and timber wall, partially opening into a study. The dining room continues this theme, with a quarry-tiled floor and another impressive inglenook fireplace, housing an oil-fired aga flanked by tiled surfaces and an original bread oven. Beyond lies a modern kitchen equipped with wall and base units, a one-and-a-half bowl sink, built-in microwave and dishwasher, space for a washing machine, an integrated oven and induction hob. The floor is tiled and a stable door leads out to the garden.

Surrounding the home, the level grounds are steeped in history, bordered by the remnants of a 13th-century Cistercian Abbey. The garden is a picturesque and leafy sanctuary with well-maintained lawns, box hedgerows, and mature trees, offering an enchanting backdrop. There is a green house, log store, and a large timber garden shed ideal for storing garden tools, as well as the detached garage which is in keeping with the property, stone-built with a thatched roof and continuing the sage green woodwork theme. A gravel driveway, accessed via double timber gates, provides ample parking and access to the garage.

Heating is provided by a lpg-fired Vaillant combi boiler, supplemented by the aga and wood-burning stove.

One of the property’s significant pluses is its location within the Uffculme School catchment area, with a convenient school bus stop within walking distance.

Please note, an additional £100 pcm is payable for maintenance of the garden, excluding the lawns.
