Bere Regis, Dorset

Welcome to Thimbles, step into a delightful piece of history, in this Grade II listed thatch cottage.

With its original beams and cob walls all add to the cottage's unique character, making every corner a testament to its storied past.

There isn't a straight wall in the cottage! And the decor and style makes the most of this character and charm, which greets you as you walk into the HALLWAY, from under the thatched porch. A curved wall provides a simple, yet clever hanging space for coats and hats.

Sweet window nooks, in each room offer views out to the village or pretty garden. From upstairs you will get glimpses from under the thatch.

The small yet perfectly formed KITCHEN, has plenty of worktop space and cupboards for storage. The window looks out to the rear garden, washing up will never be a chore!

The DINING HALL is home to the open fireplace with original bread oven, so full of character, one can feel the history in the room.

There is ample space for a large dining table to be filled with friends and family, and doors to the garden room for you and your weekend guests to spill out into, after a lovely meal.

A sunny GARDEN ROOM is such a sweet place to sit and bide the time. You can relax and enjoy the views over the garden and fling the doors open wide on warmer days.

The SITTING ROOM is light and airy, with white crisp, clean interiors adding to the slightly contemporary feel, which is juxta positioned with the wooden beams running across the ceiling.

Additionally, there is a handy SHOWER ROOM with W.C., and hand wash basin, placed on the ground floor, it is ideal for when you have come in after spending time outside. There is an abundance of rural walks and bridleways close by offering endless opportunities to explore the stunning surroundings.

Take the open tread staircase to the three bedrooms. An open and long landing has space for an occasional chair, position it just right, by the window and it will become a favourite spot!

There is a DOUBLE BEDROOM and a SINGLE BEDROOM too. With beams and curved walls, glimpses of thatch from the windows, this is everything that you imagine a cottage to be!
A FAMILY BATHROOM, serves all the bedrooms, with a bathtub, hand wash basin and W.C.

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is surprisingly generous for a cottage of this age, it has loads of character and a space for an en-suite shower room. (Currently the space has a sink, but the plumbing is in place to re-instate a shower.)

Outside
The charming GARDEN is a delightful place, and there are seating places perfectly positioned for enjoying a morning coffee. In the evening there is a spot earmarked for a G&T, to watch the sun going down.

The garden is South-Easterly facing, allowing it to be drenched in sunlight. There are established shrubs, a manicured lawn, and a sweet SUMMER HOUSE. It is a manageable size and easy to leave and maintain if you are not going to be there all the time.

Around the side from the garden room, as if from a fairytale, is your very own thatched wishing well, who wouldn't want one of those?

There is a single GARAGE and off road parking, which is such a rare find in a village centre.
