Charming three bedroom Grade II Listed cottage in excellent condition throughout, set in a no-through road with wonderful views to the rear over the Marshwood Vale.

The Dwelling

This three bedroom Grade II Listed semi-detached cottage is situated in the peaceful hamlet of South Bowood, with wonderful views across the Marshwood Vale. The property is beautifully presented throughout with an abundance of character features, and benefits from parking to the front and an enclosed level garden to the rear.

Accommodation

Believed to have been built in the 18th century, this Grade II Listed cottage has been recently renovated and sympathetically refurbished throughout, with all the modern conveniences that one would expect whilst preserving all the original character features, including window seats, exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces. The largest room of the house, the living/dining room, is centred around a large inglenook fireplace equipped with a woodburning stove, with an additional reception room off here also focussing around an inglenook fireplace. The contemporary kitchen is to the rear overlooking the garden, with a modern bathroom and shower room on either side. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms.

Outside

To the front of the house there is off-street parking for one car, with to one side a gated pedestrian access with steps that lead up to the front door. The front garden is planted in a cottage style, with attractive herbaceous and shrub planting. To the rear of the property there is a particularly attractive fully enclosed garden with a timber summer house and a raised decked terrace to the rear enjoying the spectacular views over the Marshwood Vale. The gardens are for the most part laid to lawn with areas of further herbaceous and shrub planting design to give shape, colour and form throughout the year.
