Description

This charming period cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the desirable village of Stourpaine. With its origins marked by original features such as exposed wooden beams and an inglenook fireplace, this property is brimming with character but requires updating to reach its full potential. The home comprises two spacious double bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, and bathroom, providing a solid foundation for a well-designed living space. The main lounge features two double-glazed windows that invite natural light, while the welcoming fireplace adds a focal point for cozy gatherings. The kitchen, although functional, presents an opportunity to create an inviting culinary space tailored to modern needs with some refurbishment. Situated in a picturesque setting adjacent to farmland, the property benefits from easy access to various local amenities within Stourpaine. Residents enjoy nearby recreational facilities, a post office, and public transport connections to larger towns like Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury. The surrounding countryside offers numerous walking trails and riding paths that enhance the quality of rural living. Each bedroom includes large windows that frame scenic views of the countryside. The bathroom is functional yet ripe for modernization and personalization. Outside, the garden offers both patio and lawn areas alongside mature trees and bushes; this outdoor space could become a delightful retreat following some landscaping work. This property not only provides comfortable living but also represents significant renovation potential. Investors looking to add value will find ample opportunities to capitalize on the intrinsic charm of this cottage while enhancing its appeal for future occupants or resale.
