North Street Bradford Abbas, DT9

‘Chantry Cottage’ is an exquisite, period stone, thatched, detached, double fronted cottage dating back to the early 17th century (early 1600’s). This very pretty home is located in one of the best addresses in this picturesque Dorset village. It stands in a large plot and level gardens on both sides and rear, extending to nearly half an acre (0.46 acres approximately). The rear garden boasts a sunny, west-facing aspect and a good degree of privacy. There is a huge, natural stone, two storey outbuilding consisting of entrance hall, kitchen / breakfast room, ground floor double bedroom and en-suite shower room plus WC. On the first floor, there is a large studio room with first floor sun terrace. This offers fantastic ancillary accommodation to the main house, a self-contained annex or excellent work-from-home space. This could be an excellent form of income in the form of a residential or holiday let, subject to the necessary planning permission. The house is complimented by private driveway parking for approximately two to four cars. The cottage is protected by Grade II listing and retains many appealing character features including an Inglenook fireplace, Flagstone floors, Ham stone mullions with leaded light windows, exposed beams and window seats. The well-arranged, deceptively spacious accommodation extends to 3381 square feet and enjoys excellent levels of natural light from many dual and multiple aspects. It comprises entrance reception hall, drawing room with cut Ham stone fireplace, dining room, sitting room, kitchen / breakfast room, utility room and ground floor WC / cloakroom. There is also an attached garden room requiring restoration. On the first floor there is a split-level landing area, four generous bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house has LPG-fired radiator central heating and some under floor heating while outbuilding also has double glazing plus electric convector heaters. There are superb countryside walks not far from the front door.
