Welcome to Trafalgar Cottage, believed to date from 1772 and this quintessential Purbeck stone-built residence seamlessly marries historic charm with contemporary convenience. As the name suggests the cottage has links to Vice-Admiral Hardy who sat at Nelson's deathbed during the Battle of Trafalgar and whose family owned an estate in the popular village of Portesham or Possum, as he affectionately called it. It remains one of the many traditional cottages for which the village is famed.
As you step through the front door, you are welcomed by a generous HALLWAY that sets the tone for the rest of the home. To one side of the hallway is the SITTING ROOM, where a wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point, perfect for relaxing evenings with a good book or enjoying intimate gatherings. The DINING ROOM easily accommodates a sizeable table with chairs and benefits from an impressive inglenook fireplace complete with a traditional bread oven and a large open fire basket with a canopy.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the expansive KITCHEN, where a classic AGA™ takes centre stage, offering both style and functionality. With social living in mind the kitchen flows effortlessly into a SUNROOM, creating a bright and airy space ideal for morning coffees or leisurely afternoons. A well-appointed utility room with space for a tumble dryer and plumbing for a washing machine with the added benefit of a traditional pantry provide practical storage solutions. A separate SHOWER ROOM and W.C. tucked discreetly behind, adds to the practicality of the ground floor.
The property boasts four generously sized bedrooms, each offering its own unique appeal. From the kitchen, stairs rise to the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM which has built in wardrobes, and comes complete with an ENSUITE SHOWER with wash hand basin and W.C. Two additional staircases give access to the first-floor accommodation. Here three spacious and light DOUBLE BEDROOMS can be found, each having a window seat to enjoy countryside views.
From the Sunroom, stairs head up to BEDROOM TWO, this room has built in wardrobes. This also benefits from an ENSUITE BATHROOM with panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, two wash hand basins and W.C. BEDROOMS THREE and FOUR, share a thoughtfully designed FAMILY BATHROOM, ensuring comfort for all residents. Many of these rooms retain their original fireplaces, adding a touch of historic charm.
Adding to the versatility of this home are THREE LOFT ROOMS, offering endless possibilities and storage space, two having been used as an OFFICE and GAMES ROOM previously.
Outside
The approach to the property combines a drive with a charming courtyard garden adjacent, punctuated by mature shrubs and trees that provide a sense of privacy and tranquillity. Through the gates you are welcomed by a chequerboard paved driveway, which in turn guides you to a double garage. The garage includes a room above with an ensuite bath/shower room—perfect for guests or as a private studio. A separate workshop provides a haven for hobbyists or those in need of extra storage. On a practical note, the DOUBLE GARAGE and WORKSHOP can be accessed from a connecting door from the Sunroom.
The property is complemented by a second charming courtyard GARDEN, accessed from the Sunroom and offers a peaceful retreat for outdoor relaxation.
