Located in idyllic countryside between the towns of Sherborne and Dorchester in the hamlet of Cosmore, The Spinney is a wonderful double fronted cottage with attractive 'Flemish Bond' elevations under a slate roof. The property has been sympathetically and seamlessly extended in more recent years to provide generous living accommodation combining a host of character features with modern conveniences. The property is offered in excellent decorative order throughout, with striking stylish wall paper featuring in both the dining room and sitting room, and all of the living spaces enjoy glorious outlooks over the gardens and idyllic countryside surroundings.
The property has two entrances at both the front and side of the cottage which lead into the key reception areas. From the stable door to the side, the impressive double aspect kitchen/family room enjoys an abundance of natural light and provides an excellent entertaining space connecting through to the dining room.

The Spinney is located in the hamlet of Cosmore lying between Dorchester and Sherborne close to the villages of Cerne Abbas and Buckland Newton in the attractive rolling countryside of The Blackmore Vale within an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The historic county town of Dorchester and the pleasant market town of Sherborne are almost equidistant. Both Cerne Abbas and Buckland Newton have an excellent range of local amenities including a Primary School, Village Shop and Public House. Dorchester, the County town, and the Historic Abbey town of Sherborne have a much broader range of shopping, leisure and commercial facilities, including supermarkets and leisure centres. Both these towns have main line rail stations with frequent services to London and access to the national rail network. There are also miles and miles of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding.

A five bar gate gives access to an extensive parking area and leads to the detached oak framed double garage. The established gardens amount to approximately half an acre and are set amongst beautiful countryside arranged into contrasting areas of garden which could be utilised in a number of ways and would particularly appeal to garden enthusiasts or a family. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and are punctuated by a variety of specimen trees and are enclosed with a mixture of Beech, Laurel and Privet hedging and fencing. There is a large paved terrace which abuts the rear of the property, 3 garden sheds, and a summerhouse with light and power. There is a vegetable garden with greenhouse and a useful outside tap. There is also exterior lighting.
