A detached three bedroom house with private garden on the edge of the village.
Built in 2019, Apple Tree Cottage encapsulates old cottage charm with modern fittings.
The cottage is built of local Marnhull stone, double fronted and has a private enclosed garden to the rear with a stone built shed and gardeners wc.
The entrance hall is generous with a study at one end and leads to a fine sitting room that has a feature wood burner to one end. Bi-fold doors lead out to the garden from the sitting area and the kitchen is accessed via double doors, giving an open plan feel if needed. The kitchen has a range of wall and floor units with a range electric oven, space for a dishwasher and washing machine. Further access to the west facing garden is via French doors too. The ground floor is completed with a study and downstairs wc and is fitted with underfloor heating.
The generous landing leads to all three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is en suite with bath, wc and wash hand basin. The family bathroom is partly tiled and has bath with shower over, wc and wash hand basin. Completing the 1st floor is an airing cupboard with gas fired boiler.
Situation
Marnhull is one of the largest villages in England with a thriving community life and is celebrated in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles. It has two public houses, two primary schools, three churches, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, carpet and soft furnishing shop, two grocery shops (one with a post office), hairdresser and beauty salon. There are many clubs and societies, and it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. More extensive shopping, business and recreational facilities are available in Sturminster Newton 31⁄2 miles whilst the larger towns of Shaftesbury 6 miles and Gillingham 6 miles, together with Sherborne 11 miles, are all easily accessible.
The A303 is to the north of Gillingham linking with the M3 to London. Mainline railway stations in Gillingham and Sherborne with a regular service to London Waterloo taking about 2 hours.
The area is well known for a number of independent schools including Port Regis at Motcombe, Hazlegrove at Sparkford, Sherborne Schools and Bryanston near Blandford. There are two primary schools in Marnhull and secondary schools in Sturminster Newton and Gillingham.
