Peace and quiet is key here with the location being on the edge of the delightful Village of Winterborne Clenston where you are surrounded by open countryside. The property is approached from the road via electric gates into a large shared off-road parking area. You walk to the property on a path that meanders in front of the other Cottages then enter the private garden and immediately feel tucked away and private. An open porch leads to the front door and then straight into the warm and welcoming galley style kitchen with what can can only be described as having the 'wow' factor. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the glass covered dining/family room to the far end of the kitchen allowing extensive light into the ground floor. This is the absolute heart of this home and where you will most likely spend most of your time. With ample space for a large dining table this room doubles as a family room, has underfloor heating and leads to a well proportioned utility room where you find the potential third double bedroom/storage/study situated above.
Everywhere you look in this house you see character and charm - ships timbers for the ladder style staircase to the third bedroom - coloured units - exposed brick work and wood-work, the list is endless.
With a downstairs cloakroom, study area, cosy living room with log burner, open staircase to the upper floor where you find two large double bedrooms and the family bathroom, this Cottage has everything you could need as a family along with feeling extremely homely and warm.
The garden lies to the front of the Cottage and gently slopes down to the stream running across the very bottom of it over which you have your share of riparian ownership. Mature borders and hedgerow to each side allow for privacy from the neighbouring Cottages and the garden faces south west providing lovely sun-sets enjoyed of an evening and open countryside views.
As a weekend retreat, holiday home or full-time family home, this property feels unique, full of character and is well presented throughout. Please note, the third bedroom/storage is currently accessed by a steep ladder/staircase and whilst adding to the charm of this property, would not be suited to older more infirm individuals. Oil Fired Central Heating keeps the Cottage toasty warm and you share a (well maintained) septic tank with your neighbours. EPC 'D' and Council Tax Band B.
