Description

A three bedroom period cottage for renovation situated in a peaceful, sought after location enjoying countryside views over surrounding farmland. For sale by Public Auction and via Livestream on Friday 16 May 2025 at 2:00pm at Merley House, Wimborne BH21 3AA.

The Property - This charming detached cottage is nestled in the highly sought after Tarrant Valley and enjoys countryside views over surrounding farmland. The accommodation requires renovation throughout and provides scope for remodelling or extension (subject to planning permission and any other consents). The existing accommodation is surprisingly spacious and comprises two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom and utility. The first floor provides 3 bedrooms and a spacious landing area. The property sits in grounds of 0.20 acres with off-road parking and a garage/workshop.

Situation - The cottage is situated on the edge of Tarrant Rushton, within the Tarrant Valley and the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs National Landscape (AONB), a secluded and attractive location in rural countryside. Despite the position, it benefits from being centrally located to an excellent range of retail, recreational and commercial facilities with the B3082 to Wimborne (7 miles) and Blandford (4 miles) just 1 mile away. The coastal town of Bournemouth is 16 miles and the County Town of Dorchester is 20 miles distant. There are good communication links with the A350 giving access to the A31/M27/M3 to London. The nearest mainline railway service is from Poole, and airport at Bournemouth.

Tarrant Rushton enjoys an excellent network of footpaths and bridleways with routes to the surrounding villages with a farm shop and village inns.
