3 Bedrooms Cottage for sale in South Street, Fontmell Magna, Shaftesbury SP7 | £ 315,000

Property Description

An appealing brick and flint semi detached cottage offering comfortable accommodation, set in good sized grounds within the conservation area and not far from the centre of this delightful Dorset village. Village life in Fontmell Magna has something to offer everyone from film nights at the village hall, to indoor bowls, aerobics, zumba, yoga, fetes and other societies. There is also a church, a popular C of E primary school, village hall, doctors surgery and local store with cafe. We believe that the cottage was built in 1874 and was a home to farm workers on the Glyn Estate and in more recent years was been used as a successful nursery and garden centre until the 1960's. Our sellers have been in occupation since the early 1980's during this time it has been well maintained and improved with the addition of a conservatory, versatile reception room with storage area and en-suite shower room. The garage and workshop have also been added as well as a new staircase and multi fuel burner serving the radiators and hot water. The property also has some double glazing and some delightful features such as arched window lintels, cottage style windows with deep sills, original doors - one with a combed pine finish, exposed timbers and brick and flint wall. The cottage does need to be viewed to really appreciate just what it may provide for the next owners and how it could be marked with one's own stamp.
