Description

This charming cottage, believed to date back to the 1850s, showcases a distinctive chequered stone and flint construction topped with a clay tiled roof. Set within the tranquil village of Sutton Waldron, nestled between Iwerne Minster and Fontmell Magna, this property rests on the fringes of a conservation area, rich in character and historical significance. While the interior is adorned with period features such as an original arched brick fireplace and a Rayburn stove, it is clear that the cottage requires restoration and modernization to realize its full potential. The accommodation spans two floors, offering a spacious entrance hall leading to a sitting room, kitchen-diner, ground floor bathroom, and pantry. The first floor consists of three bedrooms, including a master suite with built-in wardrobes and an additional hidden fireplace awaiting discovery. With thoughtful renovation, there's significant opportunity for enhancement here—potentially including expansion similar to that seen in the adjoining cottage (subject to planning permissions). Outdoors, ample parking is available along with extensive gardens that invite creativity; although some areas may require attention—particularly the summer house—it presents a quaint spot to savor delightful views. Positioned in a picturesque village characterized by community spirit rather than amenities, this property is just a short distance from local conveniences in nearby Iwerne Minster and Fontmell Magna. Ultimately, this cottage represents not just a home but an investment opportunity poised for transformation into a beautiful dwelling that reflects both its heritage and your vision.
