Woodlands

A CHARMING TWO BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED CHARACTER COTTAGE

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Woodlands, directly opposite the village green, this charming semi-detached character cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Believed to date back to the early 1800s, the property was once a farmworker's cottage on the Shaftesbury Estate and retains a wealth of original features that beautifully capture its heritage.

Woodlands is a highly desirable semi-rural village just two miles from Verwood, a vibrant town offering a full range of amenities including supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, doctors and dentists. Families will appreciate the excellent schooling options in nearby Cranborne, Wimborne St Giles, and in Verwood itself.

The cottage welcomes you through a quaint front porch that leads into the main hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor. The living room is a cosy and inviting space, featuring charming 'cottage style' windows overlooking the front garden and a stunning exposed brick fireplace complete with a woodburner making it perfect for cosy evenings.

Flowing seamlessly from the living room is a dining area with double doors opening onto the rear garden, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor feel. The kitchen sits at the back of the home and enjoys delightful views across the generous garden. It offers a practical range of wall and base units with space for appliances. There is also a door to a handy side porch which is ideal for coats, shoes and additional storage.

Upstairs there are two well proportioned double bedrooms. The master bedroom overlooks the green to the front and comfortably accommodates a double bed and freestanding furniture. The second bedroom currently accommodates a single bed and a chest of drawers and enjoys views over the rear garden and the woodland beyond. Both rooms are served by a family bathroom featuring a bath, separate shower cubicle, toilet and wash hand basin.

Externally the property is approached via a spacious gravel driveway offering ample off road parking, leading to a timber garage which offers potential for replacement or renovation, subject to planning. The rear garden is a true highlight of this home being tranquil and generous in size. It offers a patio seating area perfect for entertaining and a large lawn backing onto peaceful woodland.

This character filled home offers a unique blend of history, charm and potential which is a rare find in such a desirable location. Subject to planning, the cottage could be extended to further enhance its size. Ideal for those seeking village life with easy access to modern amenities, this delightful property must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
