Property Description

Originally part of the Kingston Lacy Estate, and believed to date back to the 1800s, the cottage’s original section is of cob construction with facing brick elevations and a tiled roof, and there is a 2-storey extension built by our clients in 1984.

The property is located in a conservation area, tucked away off a private, unmade lane, and set to the rear of its plot, adjoining a field to the rear which provides a lovely outlook. There is ample off road parking, and a double garage.

A gabled entrance porch leads to a dining hall with an inglenook fireplace and a walk-in storage cupboard. There is a ground floor cloakroom with WC, wash basin and space and plumbing for washing machine.

The kitchen has oak-faced units, integrated electric double oven and hob, space and plumbing for dishwasher, space for fridge-freezer and wall mounted gas central heating boiler. Off the kitchen is a spacious, dual aspect sitting room with casement door to the garden, brick inglenook fireplace and a wood burner which can also supply hot water.

From the dining hall, an open plan staircase leads to the main first floor landing which has an airing cupboard. Bedroom 1 is a dual aspect room with a loft access and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom 2 has an en suite cloakroom, and there is a spacious shower room with a loft access. Bedroom 3 is accessed off a lower landing.

Outside, a long gravel driveway leads to the front of the property where there is ample parking and access to a double garage with 2 up-and-over doors. The majority of the gardens, to the front of the cottage, comprise lawns interspersed with trees and shrubs. At the rear the property adjoins a field which provides lovely views.

AGENTS’ NOTE: We have been made aware that a survey has been carried out on the property which has shown subsidence on the front, left hand corner of the property.

Location: Colehill offers first and middle schools, a church, a library, local shops including a Co-Op/post office, and scenic walks in Cannon Hill Plantation. Bus services connect to the market town of Wimborne Minster (approximately 2 miles) with its busy shopping centre and wide range of amenities, and to the coastal town of Bournemouth which has a mainline rail link to London Waterloo.
