Inside

An immaculately refurbished and decorated Grade II Listed Lodge with views of both the local parish church of St Peter and St Paul, the burial place for the author TF Powys (who once preportedly lived in this property), and rural fields beyond, all set in a generous plot with parking.

This property complements modern convenience with charm and period character.

The generous SITTING-DINING ROOM includes high ceilings and beautifully restored mullioned windows, offering a sense of space and light. There are also several cupboards for ease of storage, and a large wood-burning stove is set within a central fireplace, forming a delightful focal point to the room. A warm, welcoming space and very much the ‘heart of the home’.

The KITCHEN is fitted with the same care and attention evidenced throughout, with ample worktop space and deep drawers. This room also includes an eye-level oven/grill, electric hob with extraction fan, dishwasher, sink with drainer, and views over the beautiful rear garden. The unusually expansive UTILITY/STORE ROOM abuts the kitchen, and forms a versatile space for storage, in addition to accommodating additional white goods and a pantry, and has access to the rear garden. If one were inclined (subject to normal consents) this space could also make a useful home office/workshop or other convenient space.

The tastefully fitted BATHROOM includes a wash hand basin, W.C. and bath with shower over. Finally, there are two DOUBLE BEDROOMS, each impeccably decorated and presented, with the second bedroom offering access to the lit and boarded LOFT.

Outside

The extremely generous walled REAR GARDEN is a pleasure to behold. A large shingled area abuts the property; a peaceful place to enjoy tranquillity of the location and take in views of the nearby church. The remainder of the property is landscaped; laid to lawn, and includes a variety of shrubs, trees and plants, plus outbuilding. There is also ample off-street parking

Location

The stunning village of Mappowder is situated at the southern edge of the renowned Blackmore Vale, and has a parish church of St Peter and St Paul, the burial place for the author TF Powys. The village name comes from ‘mapuldor’, Old English for 'maple tree', and offers views of some of Dorset’s most picturesque countryside. The nearby towns of Dorchester, Sherborne, Blandford, Sturminster Newton and Yeovil are all easily accessible by car, and offer a wide range of shopping, recreational, cultural and wider transport facilities
