Woodville, Stour Provost, Gillingham, Dorset, SP8

A delightful cottage adorned with climbing roses all beautifully presented with a south facing garden and stunning far reaching views. ** No Onward Chain **

Woodville cottage is an absolute delight and is beautifully presented. It was sympathetically extended about 20 years ago to provide a generous sitting room, kitchen and master bedroom en-suite. The current owners have had a new kitchen, windows, doors and a wood burning stove installed. The kitchen / breakfast room can be accessed from the side or the garden via a sunny patio. There is a pantry cupboard and ‘utility cupboard’ to hide the domestic appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is the sitting room which also benefits from French doors onto the patio and windows overlooking the garden. The remaining ground floor accommodation comprises a dining room, cloakroom and the snug with an open fireplace with detailed brick surround and the original front door. The spacious landing is light and bright and runs through the centre of the property with three bedrooms to one side enjoying garden views and the shared bathroom on the other side. At the end is the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, dressing area and enjoying far reaching views across countryside as far as Hambledon Hill.

The village of Stour Provost includes a well-regarded primary school and church whereas other villages in the area such as Marnhull, East Stour, West Stour all provide day to day facilities. The nearby hill top town of Shaftesbury offers a full range of amenities including Tesco and Lidl supermarkets, a cottage hospital, butchers, green grocers, restaurants, pubs and cafes to name but a few. The area has an excellent range of private and state schools including Gillingham School (5 miles), Shaftesbury School (4 miles), Port Regis Prep School (4.5 miles), Clayesmore (7 miles), Sturminster Newton High School (7 miles), Sandroyd Prep School (13 miles), Sherborne School for Girls (13 miles) to name but a few.

There is a mainline railway service available at Gillingham and Tisbury with a regular service taking 1 hour 58 minutes to London Waterloo.

OUTSIDE
There is parking directly next to the property where a gate leads into the garden. The property sits ‘side on’ to the lane with the main garden stretching out in front. The main drive is at the far end of the garden and sweeps round to a timber clad double garage with attached store. A gravel path meanders through the lawn from the garage to the house passing the greenhouse and flower beds. The boundaries are a combination of mixed native hedging and low rise picket fence which allows full advantage of the views. In all the plot extends to nearly ½ acre.
