This charming, semi-detached thatched cottage - which is unlisted - is located in the popular village of Sturminster Marshall. Coming to the market with NO FORWARD CHAIN the property offers deceptively spacious accommodation including four bedrooms, kitchen/breakfast room, lounge, dining room and garden room, along with an ensuite bathroom and a separate shower room.

The property has a wealth of character features including exposed timbers to walls and ceilings, ledged and braced doors and a large inglenook fireplace in the main reception. With pretty landscaped front garden, the property is approached via an enclosed thatched porch with door leading directly to the main reception/lounge with two windows overlooking the front of the property. The inglenook fireplace provides a cosy feature for winter evenings. The kitchen/breakfast room also has direct access from the front of the property - laid throughout with floor tiling and fitted with an eclectic range of base and wall display units with under counter space for free standing white goods. Internal doors from the kitchen lead to the lounge and separate dining room, as well as the master ensuite bedroom at the rear of the property which has French doors leading out to the garden. The dining room overlooks the rear garden and also gives access to an inner hallway which in turn leads via french doors to the garden room which has French doors leading to outside. There is is also a ground floor shower/cloakroom off this inner hallway and stairs rising to the first floor where there are three further bedrooms - each with interconnecting doors - a typical feature of a property of this era.

There are a number of useful storage cupboards throughout fitted into the quaint nooks and crannies of this character home.

Outside there is gravelled off road parking to the front of the property for a couple of vehicles, with the remainder grassed and an established front planted border. The rear, south facing garden provides a good degree of privacy with some established specimen planting and delightful paved patio off the garden room and bedroom one - ideal for relaxation or outdoor entertaining.
