Description

This remarkable cobb cottage, dating back to the 17th century, is nestled within approximately one-third of an acre of land and boasts three bedrooms alongside three reception rooms. With ample outbuildings and a double garage, this property presents significant potential for creating a home income or further developments. Originally part of the Canford Estate and transformed into a single dwelling in the 1920s, the house features versatile accommodation that includes a spacious living room, separate dining area, kitchen with breakfast nook, study, utility room, and WC on the ground floor. The first floor houses three bedrooms along with a family bathroom/shower room and an additional WC. Recent updates include double glazing throughout and re-thatching completed in 2010; the roof was re-ridged just last year in 2022. This property is not listed or protected, allowing for greater flexibility in renovation efforts. The grounds are accessed through a charming five-bar farm-style gate leading to a gravel driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, alongside a courtyard parking area at the rear that serves additional vehicles and grants access to the double garage equipped with an electric door. One particularly interesting feature is the hobbies room located above the garage, which holds great potential for conversion into an income-generating suite. The outdoor space also includes covered storage options and an inviting seating area perfect for alfresco dining. Situated in Wimborne, a lively market town in East Dorset, this property benefits from excellent transport links and local amenities including shops, restaurants, cultural attractions such as historic churches and museums. The surrounding area is rich in history while offering modern conveniences like health care services and schools, making it ideal for families as well as investors looking to tap into its rental potential.
