Maiden Newton, Dorchester, Dorset

Welcome to Walnut Tree Cottage in Kingsley Paddock, a tranquil, exclusive collection of just five individual residences tucked away off a private, gated road close to heart of this vibrant village.

As soon as the front door opens, it is immediately apparent that the house is stylishly presented and both light and airy. The inviting ENTRANCE HALL is well proportioned and would readily accommodate some hall furniture. The staircase elegantly rises to the first floor, whilst discreetly positioned is the CLOAKROOM with W.C. and wash hand basin. The SITTING ROOM is a wonderful light reception room with windows overlooking the front private courtyard drive, whilst French doors to the patio perfectly frame the view over the walled rear garden. Centred around the brick fireplace with bressummer style timber beam this engaging room has a Contura™ wood stove for those cooler evenings. The separate DINING ROOM lies adjacent to the kitchen and similarly enjoys views over the rear garden and effortlessly accommodates a dining table and chairs with room for further furniture. The KITCHEN /BREAKFAST ROOM has the sink ideally positioned under the window providing a delightful view over the garden. There is an array of wall mounted and floor-based cupboards, with generous food preparation work surfaces. A free-standing island unit provides for still more storage and forms a breakfast bar for casual dining. Integral Neff™ appliances include an electric hob with fume hood over, oven, fridge, and dishwasher, an additional appliance space has plumbing. On a practical note, concealed from view is the Worcester™ boiler. Neatly off set from Kitchen is the SNUG, a convivial area with plentiful natural light courtesy of the two windows overlooking the courtyard drive and the side garden. Off the kitchen is the BOOT ROOM with stable style door to outside and provides for coat hanging and boots after that country walk. In addition, there is additional plumbing for a washing machine.

Venturing upstairs doesn’t disappoint, a large and well naturally lit landing with generous sized window to the front whilst doors radiate out to the bedrooms and the bathroom. Also located here is the airing cupboard and access to the roof void with fitted ladder, light and part boarded loft. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM SUITE comprises bedroom with ensuite shower room and separate dressing room (repurposed from bedroom four). The bedroom overlooks the rear garden, the village scape and has far-reaching country views beyond. A built-in cupboard largely shelved provides for storage. The ENSUITE comprises corner shower cubicle, vanity unit with wash basin and W.C. Double opening doors lead to the DRESSING ROOM (formerly bedroom four) with return door to the landing. Here there is a range of free-standing wardrobes and plentiful room for a dressing table. BEDROOM TWO and BEDROOM THREE are both comfortable double bedrooms, the guest bedroom also enjoying the captivating vista offered by the principal bedroom whilst bedroom three lies to the front of the residence.
