About this property
Five-bedroom historic cottage
Set within beautiful gardens of just over an acre
Double garage
3,200sq.ft. Of accommodation
A charming five-bedroom historic cottage with origins dating back over 400 years set within beautiful gardens of just over an acre in the highly sought after village of Holt, just 3.5 miles from Wimborne Minster. Offering over 3,200sq.ft. Of flexible accommodation and garaging, this characterful home combines a wealth of period features with generous spaces for family living and entertaining. With delightful woodland and heath walks on the doorstep, internal viewing is highly recommended.
The Situation
The property is situated in this picturesque hamlet of Higher Rowe just 100 yards to the wonderful walking and riding grounds of Holt Heath National Nature Reserve. Higher Rowe is adjacent to the villages of Holt, Broomhill and Gaunts Common, approximately 4 miles north east of Wimborne Minster. The coastal resorts of Poole and Bournemouth, both of which have mainline rail links to London Waterloo, 13 and 15 miles respectively. Gaunts Common has a First School, and the renowned Dumpton Preparatory school is nearby, just outside Wimborne.
The Property
The sitting room provides a welcoming introduction to the cottage, with windows on several sides bringing in natural light and French doors opening onto the delightful garden. A wood-burning stove, set within a brick fireplace beneath a timber mantel, forms an attractive focal point, with ample space for comfortable seating.
Connecting reception areas give the ground floor an easy flow, allowing friends and family to gather while retaining quieter corners for reading or relaxing. The snug features exposed beams, a further stove within a substantial fireplace and an open timber staircase. The adjoining dining room, currently arranged as a spacious home office, offers flexibility to suit individual needs.
The hand built, bespoke kitchen/breakfast room forms a practical centre to the home, with shaker style cream cabinetry, contrasting worktops, tiled splashbacks and terracotta-toned floor tiles. There is space for a range-style cooker, while the breakfast area comfortably accommodates a family dining table.
The generous conservatory enjoys views across the gardens, with extensive glazing and a pitched roof creating a bright setting for both dining and relaxing. Its proportions make it particularly well suited to entertaining, with space for a large table alongside informal seating.
A substantial utility room and separate boot room provide useful everyday storage and space for laundry and outdoor clothing. A ground-floor shower room and an additional cloakroom add convenience, particularly when returning from walks with muddy dogs or children!
Two staircases serve the first-floor accommodation, contributing to the home’s adaptable layout. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Four further bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom and an additional WC, providing options for family, guests or further workspace.
The separate detached studio, which is easily accessible from the utility room and conservatory, offers another useful space for creative interests, hobbies or working from home.
Outside
The gardens are a particular highlight, offering privacy, areas for outdoor entertaining and an orchard which includes apple, pear, fig, mulberry, plum, damson and cherry trees, together with a grapevine. The beautiful gardens wrap around the cottage, creating a private setting with space to relax, garden and entertain. The patio provides an inviting spot for outdoor dining, complementing the conservatory and sociable reception rooms inside.
The property is approached via a five-bar gate leading to a generous driveway providing ample off road parking. There is a detached double garage with an adjoining workshop.
