Property Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a Grade II Listed thatched cottage set in grounds approaching two thirds of an acre, split between garden and paddock whilst being on the edge of Wimborne town centre. This delightful cob and partly thatched cottage was originally part of the National Trust Kingston Lacy and Corfe Castle estate. It has, in recent years, been sympathetically extended, and now offers charming and versatile accommodation which comprises an open plan kitchen and dining room, separate study, living room, utility and bathroom to the ground floor with three double bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor.

NB: Thatched roof to be renewed in Autumn 2025.

Gardens and Grounds
A gravel driveway leads across the rear of the home and opens out to a level parking area suited to several vehicles which in turn provides access to the detached double garage. The garage is of wood construction under a pitched and tiled roof which provides a generous amount of storage. The plot is divided into to principle areas. The first are formal gardens which are well stocked and there is a patio area ideal for outside dining. Adjacent is a brick-built pizza oven and there is a further paved area designed for a spa. The second area is set out as a paddock with a variety of stock and post and rail fencing, which clearly defines its boundaries.
