Description

This charming three-bedroom cottage is nestled in a serene rural locale and boasts attractive views alongside a substantial garden. The property has been held by the same family for over a century and presents an exciting opportunity for modernisation, enabling the new owner to tailor it to their preferences. The entrance leads to a porch that opens into a hall, with a cozy sitting room on one side and a dining room featuring a fireplace on the other. A compact kitchen sits conveniently between these two spaces. An inner hall off the dining room provides additional utility space, as well as access to the bathroom and a separate cloakroom. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms—two generous doubles along with a single. The outdoor space is particularly appealing, covering approximately 1/4 of an acre with ample potential for landscaping or expansion. Accessed via a gated driveway, there’s off-road parking available along with a detached garage. The garden mainly consists of lawn, providing an excellent canvas for gardening enthusiasts or anyone looking to create their own outdoor retreat. Additional features include a workshop adjacent to the cottage and a greenhouse at the far end of the garden, complementing the picturesque view over the nearby pond. Located in the historic village of Melbury Abbas—rich in agricultural heritage—this property offers both tranquillity and proximity to amenities in Shaftesbury and surrounding areas, making it ideal for families or investors looking for renovation potential in an idyllic setting.
