‘Lavender Cottage’ is a very pretty, period, Grade II listed, double-fronted, terraced cottage situated in a top address in the heart of this historic and breath-takingly beautiful Dorset village. The cottage occupies a generous plot and large garden extending to 0.13 acres approximately – garden length is 160′. There is lovely views of nearby hills and the pretty parish church from the garden. The bottom of the garden backs on to Back Lane and has double timber gates giving vehicular access to this portion of land.
