Inside

A rare opportunity to acquire this handsome late Victorian residence. Formally two archetypal farm cottages, this charming home lies within the picturesque hamlet of Kingston Russell nestling betwixt Dorchester and Bridport set amongst the wonderful gentle undulating Dorset Countryside. Having a pleasing mixture of brick, rendered and tiled hung elevations the cottage has the most appealing symmetry.

In true cottage style the property is approached from the rear, with door through to the BOOT ROOM, ideal for kicking those boots off after a country walk. Twin windows and quarry tiled floor continues the length of the extension with additional door to outside, kitchen / breakfast room, sitting room and the ground floor shower room. The KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM is an appealing light and airy room having twin windows. There is a comprehensive range of fitted floor based cupboards with food preparation / work surfaces over, together with provision and space for undercounter appliances. There is a fitted Oven with hob over, and the continuation of the quarry tiled flooring. A particular feature is the ornamental Rayburn taking pride of place. There is ample room for breakfasting whilst a door opens to the DINING ROOM. The dining room enjoys views over the garden towards open countryside, there is generous space for entertaining and a deep cupboard provides storage. The SITTING ROOM is light filled from two windows overlooking the gardens. The focal point being the exposed brickwork rising to ceiling height with a cosy wood burning stove for those cooler months. Exposed timber flooring adds to this engaging reception room. Concluding the ground floor accommodation is the SHOWER / WC.

From the Sitting room a quarter turn staircase rises to the FIRST FLOOR LARGE LANDING and the four double bedrooms and family bathroom. The MASTER BEDROOM is of generous proportions and has potential for the addition of an en suite facility. Plentiful natural light comes from the two windows enjoying views over the gardens and the gentle undulating countryside beyond. BEDROOM FOUR also has a twin aspect whilst BEDROOMS TWO AND THREE have far reaching views over the valley and the open countryside. Completing the first floor is the FAMILY BATHROOM with feature bath, wash hand basin and low level WC. On a practical note here there is the airing cupboard.

Outside

A long winding shared driveway surrounded by fields of sheep and lamas leads up to Crumble Cottage. The Cottage is located at the end of the Driveway with parking for several cars and double garage with roof terrace and higher views of the surrounding countryside. Stone pillars and steps lead up to GARDENS and land extending to approximately 1/2 ACRE with the immediate garden, mainly laid to lawn, wrapping around two sides of the property. A combination of mature hedgerows and fencing to all sides and wonderful views over the surrounding valley and fields. A secluded Haven away from the hustle and bustle of life.
