About this property
Period cottage in quiet enclave
Old 'Bake House' brick shed in garden
Raised potager garden
Parking and large single garage
A wonderful local stone period cottage, extended in 2005, whilst retaining fine features and an enclosed garden to the rear.
The Property
The front door is seldom used but brings you into a lobby with a guest wc to one side and the more formal reception room through a lovely wooden door. This room is cottage personified with an electric wood effect burner set within a stone beamed fireplace. A few steps up brings you to the hub of the house, the sitting room which is open to the kitchen area. A comfortable room, again with lovely period features and the stairs leading to the 1st floor. The kitchen area was extended in 2005 by the previous owners and has a range of wall and floor units, and space for a table. Immediately adjacent is the utility room, which has access to the front parking area and is generally used all the time, and to the patio area and Covered to the large single garage personal door, also added in 2005.
On the 1st floor are three good bedrooms, bedroom 1 with an en suite shower room. There is a family bathroom to one end too and all three bedrooms have the views over the fields to the East.
Outside
A good gravel parking area is to the front with space for turning but room for 2 cars at least. There is side access to the garden too as well.
From the kitchen are French doors to a patio area, a lovely spot with plenty of maturing plants and shrubs. The garden borders other gardens and is raised up a few steps and has a well kept lawn, new fencing all around the sides with attractive flower borders. The Bake House is a large garden shed built of Gillingham brick and has a faux sash window. The raised garden continues back to the front with a potager garden, green house and the bench takes in fine views over the fields out of Marnhull.
Situation
Marnhull is one of the largest villages in England with a thriving community life and is celebrated in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles. It has two public houses, two primary schools, three churches, doctors' surgery, pharmacy, carpet and soft furnishing shop, two grocery shops (one with a post office), hairdresser and beauty salon. There are many clubs and societies, and it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. More extensive shopping, business and recreational facilities are available in Sturminster Newton 31⁄2 miles whilst the larger towns of Shaftesbury 6 miles and Gillingham 6 miles, together with Sherborne 11 miles, are all easily accessible.
The A303 is to the north of Gillingham linking with the M3 to London. Mainline railway stations in Gillingham and Sherborne with a regular service to London Waterloo taking about 2 hours.
