Description

Manor Cottage, a charming stone house, is positioned conveniently near the coast and boasts countryside vistas from its garden. This property presents significant renovation opportunities, making it ideal for investors or those looking to create a personalized home. Formerly part of a farm, its proximity to the historic Manor House adds character and charm. The residence features stone elevations topped with a tiled and partially thatched roof. An attached barn was converted in 1999 into a spacious drawing room, characterized by vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a feature fireplace. The interior includes an entrance hall with storage, a large kitchen/dining room outfitted with various cupboards and surfaces, an integrated double oven, and space for larger appliances. Additionally, there’s a functional utility/wet room equipped with essential facilities and plumbing for laundry needs. The separate sitting room offers warmth with its open fire, leading to the staircase for access to the first floor. This level comprises three bedrooms including one en-suite; versatile spaces that can be reimagined during renovation. Outside offers ample parking via a gravel driveway and a private garden adorned with mature shrubs overlooking adjoining fields. A unique aspect of this property is the adjacent paddock (about 0.2 acres), which provides further potential for landscaping or agricultural use. Situated in Poxwell—a desirable hamlet close to the scenic Jurassic coastline—local amenities are available in nearby Preston while Weymouth and Dorchester provide broader shopping options and rail connections to major cities.
