Step into a world where history meets modern comfort in this enchanting Grade II listed, 1920s semi-detached thatched cottage designed in the Arts & Crafts style. Built by businessman, social and agricultural engineer Sir Ernest Debenham, this residence offers a unique blend of period charm and contemporary living.
The home welcomes you with a PORCH leading into a light-filled SITTING ROOM, where exposed brick and original details create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The DINING ROOM provides an elegant space for gatherings, while the light and spacious KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM, with its unique curved garden-facing design, offers a panoramic view of the outdoors, making it a wonderful space for cooking and entertaining.
BEDROOM FOUR is conveniently located on the ground floor and complemented by its own ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM. This versatile room offers endless possibilities, whether you envision it as a home office, a playroom, or a guest suite or additional utility.
Stairs from the inner hallway lead to the first floor and a further THREE BEDROOMS. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM, the vendors tell us, featured in THE GREAT INTERIOR DESIGN CHALLENGE in 2014 and boasts an original fireplace with mantels and surround. Throughout the first floor of the property, you'll find original period three-ledged solid pine doors. A FAMILY BATHROOM completes the upstairs accommodation. On a practical note, there is a space saving stairway giving access to the loft which has been fully boarded and has power and lighting.
Outside
The cottage sits in a quarter of an acre plot and is embraced by gardens both front and rear, offering a canvas for your horticultural aspirations. The rear, terraced garden, with its potential for further development, is an idyllic setting for outdoor relaxation and play and takes advantage of its south facing aspect. The current owners aimed to create a wildlife haven and with several garden ponds, mature shrubs and trees, it is sure to give hours of pleasure. Raised beds for vegetables and a useful garden shed as well as outside power, provide essentials for the keen gardener.
The large, private patio, accessible from the kitchen, is perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings and al fresco entertaining. A detached double garage has been largely converted to a delightful bright and roomy office/study space with picture windows, and sitting adjacent is a useful shower room. Retrospective consents are currently being sought for the conversion.
There is ample off-road parking, which is conveniently available, ensuring ease of access. The thatched roof and traditional architecture harmonise beautifully with the natural setting, making this home a picturesque retreat.
Location
Situated in the close-knit community of Briantspuddle, the village has a vibrant village hall and a community-run shop and post office. Nearby Puddletown provides additional amenities, including a library, veterinary practice, and doctors' surgery. Conveniently located near the A35, this property offers easy access to major business centres like Poole, Bournemouth, and Dorchester, all of which are home to London/Waterloo mainline railway stations, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a tranquil weekend retreat or permanent residence.
