Description

This historic property, known as the Old Cider House Grove, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history. The Grade II listed cottage, built in the 1600s, is nestled in the heart of Stalbridge and boasts a private woodland wildlife sanctuary.

The garden is virtually maintenance-free, with a natural ecosystem established over 25 years. The house itself has been carefully preserved, retaining its original features, including inglenook fireplaces, oak spiral staircases, and traditional chalk paint decorations. The property has four bedrooms, including two attic rooms with exposed roof timbers, and features a mix of original and modern amenities. The property's history is evident throughout, with original pantries, a Bressummer beam with apotropaic marks, and a unique Art Deco fireplace. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history and live in harmony with nature.
