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 4-bedroom, Grade II listed cottage is nestled in the heart of Stalbridge and features a completely private garden that has been left to its natural state, creating a thriving wildlife sanctuary. The garden is home to a variety of birds, including sparrows, finches, and blue tits, as well as a colony of hedgehogs. The property itself dates back to the 1600s and has been lovingly preserved, with many original features still intact, including inglenook fireplaces, oak spiral staircases, and Georgian leaded light windows. The interior has been decorated with traditional chalk paint and features a mix of modern and antique elements, including a vintage deep enamel bath and re-claimed hardwood worktops. The property also boasts a unique feature - a mini pond that provides fresh drinking water for the wildlife. With its rich history, stunning garden, and unique features, this property is a true gem that offers a chance to own a piece of the past.
