Description

Nestled in the charming village of Worth Matravers, Calico Cottage offers a unique chance to transform a spacious property into a personalized residence on a desirable plot. With approximately 1,031 square feet of flexible living space, this cottage presents an excellent canvas for renovation enthusiasts. The inviting sitting/dining room captures natural light through dual-aspect windows and features a cozy fireplace, serving as an ideal central hub for reconfiguration. Adjacent lies the kitchen/breakfast room—practical yet with ample opportunity for modernization—boasting convenient access to the garden through glazed doors. The principal bedroom enjoys garden views through its large window, while three additional bedrooms present diverse possibilities: one retains its original entrance to the yard, another features an apex timber ceiling with generous light, and the fourth is well-suited for multiple uses like home office or hobby space. A compact bathroom adds functionality but also indicates potential for upgrading. Outside, parking for at least one vehicle exists with the possibility of expanding to two spaces subject to consent. The mature garden wraps around the property and includes established fruit trees, while a stone building currently used as a garden WC could be creatively repurposed into a bar or studio. Located within walking distance of local amenities and scenic coastal paths, this property not only promises privacy but also offers easy access to nature and community life. A perfect investment opportunity for those wishing to craft their dream home or capitalize on rental potential in this coveted area.
