The Dwelling

Having undergone a complete renovation, the cottage is beautifully presented, combining period character with modern comforts.
Accommodation
Upon entering, the property exudes a wonderful sense of light and space, with careful restoration evident throughout. The ground floor showcases charming stone flooring and attractive wooden beams, adding to the character of the home. A standout feature is the lovely sitting room, complete with a central fireplace and wood-burning stove, offering stunning views of the delightful gardens and surrounding grounds. The beautifully restored family kitchen serves as the heart of the home, spacious enough to accommodate a kitchen/dining table.. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generously sized boot room, a utility room and a WC.
A charming wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where you will find a spacious principal bedroom complete with an en suite shower room. The first floor also offers two additional bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom.
Garden
The gardens surrounding Ford Cottage are truly enchanting, offering a serene and picturesque retreat. Two streams meander through the grounds, converging at a small waterfall. Adjacent to the southern gable of the cottage, a delightful terrace with a pergola. Several charming bridges cross the streams, and small areas of woodland add to the natural beauty of the setting.
At the rear, an expanse of meadow is divided into two enclosures, with the first featuring a dew pond, further enhancing the countryside feel. Additionally, the property benefits from two timber-built garages/stores, both equipped with electric light and power, offering practical storage solutions.
Situation
Ford Cottage is located about half a mile from the picturesque rural village of Corscombe, nestled along sunken lanes amidst the lush, hilly landscape of the northern scarp slope of the Dorset Downs. Just 8 miles from the town of Yeovil, Corscombe offers a welcoming village atmosphere, complete with a pub (The Fox Inn), a church, and a cricket ground. The nearby market town of Beaminster caters to most daily needs.
The cottage boasts direct access to miles of scenic footpaths and benefits from excellent transport links, including a regular train service from Crewkerne to Waterloo, and convenient road access via the A356 and A37.
