This Grade II Listed detached cottage offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a picturesque conservation village. With three bedrooms, the property requires complete modernization, providing an ideal canvas for those looking to create a custom home or profit from a significant restoration project.
The home features distinctive 19th-century architecture with brick and cob construction, highlighted by its charming double-fronted façade and traditional steep tiled roof. While currently not habitable, it possesses ample potential, particularly with the detailed planning permission granted for a substantial two-storey extension and the addition of a habitable outbuilding in the expansive rear garden, which spans over 150 feet. This outdoor space is enclosed by mixed hedges and predominantly laid to grass, making it suitable for landscaping that can enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
Inside, the layout includes essential areas such as an entrance hallway leading to various rooms on the ground floor. The dining room boasts a striking floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, while the living room features period details like part-panelled walls and an inglenook fireplace with a bressummer beam and bread oven—elements that can be beautifully restored or incorporated into modern updates. A small kitchen overlooks the rear garden with direct access to outside spaces, along with a utility area nearby. The first floor accommodates two double bedrooms and one single bedroom.
Located on the outskirts of Cranborne adjacent to the scenic Cranborne Chase, this property benefits from being part of a thriving community offering essential amenities such as a GP surgery, schools, shops, sports facilities, and dining options including La Fosse Restaurant. The village is well-connected to larger towns like Wimborne Minster (approximately 10 miles away) and Verwood (about 4 miles), with further access to cities like Salisbury via good road links.
For investors or those seeking a renovation project in a desirable setting rich in history and community spirit, this cottage represents an exciting opportunity to realize substantial value through careful restoration and development.
