- CHESTNUT COTTAGE, , CHURCH STREET, PUNCKNOWLE, DORCHESTER, DORSET, 550000, 30/09/2021
A charming period stone cottage with a large paddock in a picturesque village setting within the beautiful Bridge Valley only a few miles from the sea. Grade II Listed.
The Property - Chestnut Cottage is a charming picture postcard double fronted period cottage together with a separate (although virtually adjoining) large paddock with parking, garaging and stables in a picturesque village setting. The cottage dates back some 300 years with later additions and is Listed Grade II of architectural or historical importance and within a conservation area. The original cottage has main walls of natural stone under a thatched roof and the later additions have slate and flat roofs. The property has been under the current ownership since 1994 and over the years, numerous improvements have been carried out including the rebuilding of the rear extension and rethatching. Oil fired central heating is installed.
The accommodation is exceptionally spacious and good sized enjoying a lovely aspect to the front overlooking the church and to the rear over the garden and across the Bride Valley.
The cottage has a whole number of character style features typical of it's age and type including sash windows to the front, large beamed inglenook fireplace with former bread oven and first floor bedrooms with part vaulted and beamed ceilings and exposed floorboards.
There is a very large rear garden and just beyond, a large paddock with off road parking, garaging and stables.
On the ground floor, the front door leads to a very large sitting room with inglenook fireplace, lobby, large kitchen/dining room with solid pine painted kitchen units, roof lantern and french doors, large utility room (potential additional reception room or bedroom), lobby and bathroom.
On the first floor, there are three generous double bedrooms enjoying the village and distant country views.
Holiday Letting Business - A very successful holiday letting business is being operated through Dream Cottages and currently there are bookings until October 2021. The cottage is available as a going concern (contents available by separate negotiation) or with vacant possession from October 2021.
Outside - There is on lane parking and a small outside area to the front.

The paddock is just beyond the back garden and has vehicular access off Rectory Lane with a field gate onto a large paddock providing parking together with double garaging and stables.
