A beautiful 3 bedroom semi-detached thatched cob cottage in a charming setting at Boveridge, on the outskirts of the popular village of Cranborne. This charming, Grade II listing 18th century home sits in a designated dark sky zone, in about a quarter of an acre of gardens, offering stunning views over open farmland, with the main aspect of garden facing west with wonderful uninterrupted sunsets, and featuring a detached annexe and a shepherd’s hut (with its own wood burner.) A barn style door leads into a country style kitchen with a fitted dresser and an oil-fired Rayburn providing the heating and hot water (backed up by an immersion heater.) The adjacent utility room leads to the family bathroom which has a Velux window overlooking the rear garden, a claw-foot bath, a wash basin, a WC, and a currently un-used door to the front. An inner hallway with a stone floor and a coat cupboard leads to a beamed dining area which connects with the charming, dual aspect lounge, which features a window seat, a beamed ceiling and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner. There is a spacious, dual aspect first floor landing currently used as a craft room, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and windows on both sides. Steps lead up to a bedroom with a fitted double wardrobe (which could be relocated to create a double bedroom) and 2 windows giving views over the surrounding farmland. Also accessed from the craft room is a spacious, dual aspect principal bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a stepped chimney breast. The cottage is mostly of cob construction, with some brick sections. The Annexe: Timber French doors open into a reception room with a log burner. An archway leads to a double bedroom with an en suite shower room. Accessed via an outside door, the kitchenette has a range of cupboards and space for a fridge/freezer. Behind the annexe, there is a useful log/tool store with armoured light and door. Included in the sale, the shepherd’s hut is equipped with its own log burner, and has built-in seating and windows on either side, making it an ideal snug. The cottage is set below eye level within its plot, providing a sense of seclusion. Steps from the off road parking area lead to a green pedestrian gate and sleeper steps down to a shingle area towards the kitchen door. The front garden features low-maintenance sleeper planters and a red brick feature, with a wall and shrub boundary. There is a raised seating area, and a brick paved path leads to another seating area surrounded by shrubs. The most notable part of the garden, at the side of the house, includes a large wooden deck leading to the annexe. A substantial lawn area extends to the shepherd's hut. A third section of the garden, formerly a vegetable garden complete with a greenhouse and storage shed, now laid to meadow turf with wildflowers. There is also a dilapidated summer house currently used for storage. Land to the north has previously had planning applications declined for a new dwelling. The rear garden continues into the sloping landscape, rising to a post-and-rail fence bordering farmland. The area directly outside the house is primarily left as a meadow, adorned with shrubs and seasonal planting. The property’s septic tank, which was renewed 3 years ago, is shared, and located in the garden of the neighbouring property.
