Holwell, DT9

‘Cornford Cottage’ is a detached, period, double-fronted, character cottage standing a impressive elevated, hillside plot and gardens extending to just over half an acre (0.55 acres approximately). The cottage boasts lovely rural views and is situated on the rural edge of the popular Dorset village of Holwell. The cottage is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and yet retains much original character including exposed beams, open fireplace and much more. It boasts significant scope for extension and reconfiguration, subject to the necessary planning permission. We also believe that the wider garden has potential for a building plot and redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning consent. The gardens are simply exquisite, enjoying rural tranquillity and a fabulous sun trap. There is a gated, private driveway area providing off road parking for several vehicles at the side. The cottage benefits from good levels of natural light from sunny south westerly aspect at the front. It is enhanced by some hardwood double glazing and is heated by a multi-fuel Stanley Range powering radiators. There is also an open fireplace. The accommodation comprises entrance porch, sitting room / dining room, open plan kitchen / breakfast room boot room / rear lobby, utility room and ground floor bathroom. On the first floor there is a landing area and two double bedrooms. The rooms on the first floor enjoy stunning countryside views. There is also a two room cellar. The property has countryside walks from nearby the front door – ideal as you do not need to put the children or the dogs in the car! The historic town centre of Sherborne is a short drive away with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne’s world-famous private schools. It is also a short drive to two mainline railway stations making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours.
