Owner says, "We've loved being tucked away on a lovely lane, close to countryside walks and yet within a few minutes of the local shop and railway station".
Welcome to Melissa Cottage, a Grade II Listed Dorset Cobb cottage, oozing charm and character throughout.
Stepping through from the front door, you are welcomed into the spacious SITTING ROOM, the large open fireplace really makes this a striking room, ideal for cosy winters evenings in front of a crackling fire. (currently a gas Log Burner but has an open chimney).
Through the DINING ROOM/STUDY AREA to the KITCHEN which is a light and bright room with plenty of space for a breakfast table. There are several cupboards, an electric cooker and space for a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge.
Through the door you can walk straight out to the beautiful garden.
From the sitting room, there is a door to the rear hallway which offers access to the ground floor BATHROOM, as is usual in Dorset cottages of this age. It has a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, W.C., and wash hand basin.
The stairs wind upwards to three bedrooms, TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS which are surprisingly generous, both have an abundance of character with sloping ceilings and cottage windows. There is also a SINGLE BEDROOM which could easily be used as a home office.
The SUN ROOM at the back leads you into the delightful REAR GARDEN where there is a lovely gravelled area perfect for relaxing lunches with friends and family in the sunshine.
Located next to the village church, this is an attractive feature which can be seen from all parts of the garden. Then up some steps to a lawned area, a bird table keeps the local birds busy. There are hidden corners, established cottage flowers, trees and fruit trees. Also sheds and a greenhouse for time spent pottering in this pretty garden.
At the side of the cottage, there is a driveway providing PARKING for vehicles in front of the DOUBLE GARAGE.
The cottage is in the prettiest part of this lovely village. There is a mainline rail link direct to London Waterloo (2 hours 45 mins). A good level of amenities including; a store/post office, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, church, and 2 public houses, are all within walking distance! The renowned Lulworth Cove, part of the Jurassic Coast, is a mere three miles away with its beaches, small eateries and beautiful walks. The vibrant Saxon walled town of Wareham is only 7 miles away with the county town of Dorchester approximately 11 miles from the property.
