Description

This Grade II listed cottage, known as Apple Tree Cottage, presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts seeking a characterful property in a picturesque semi-rural setting. The home boasts an appealing mix of traditional features and extended living spaces, including a self-contained three-bedroom annexe that holds considerable investment potential – whether as guest accommodation or for multigenerational living. The main residence features an inviting extended kitchen/breakfast room where an Aga serves as a charming focal point, alongside utility and cloakroom facilities. The cozy sitting room with its exposed beams and wood burner adds to the cottage's charm, while a study area provides versatility. A ground floor bedroom with ensuite is complemented by a spacious master suite plus additional bedrooms and family shower room upstairs. The detached annexe mirrors the character of the main house but offers modern conveniences, featuring an open-plan layout that brings in ample natural light through multiple sets of French doors. It houses two ground-floor bedrooms and a shower room, along with a sizable first-floor bedroom complete with modern bathroom facilities. Externally, the property is set on a generous plot with ample parking via a gravel driveway leading to both the cottage and annexe. The serene garden, bordered by hedgerows for privacy, offers a lush lawn dotted with vibrant flower beds and includes several storage sheds plus a partially constructed shepherd's hut. With some modernization required throughout, this property opens itself up to various refurbishment possibilities while being conveniently located near local amenities and transport links to nearby towns such as Blandford Forum and Wimborne Minster.
