Our Summary
- A large pond sits to one side, which although partly finished, has scope to become a focal point, for wildlife
- Outbuildings include a DETACHED BARN, ideal for workshop space, storage, or even conversion (subject to consents)
- The garden offers potential for further landscaping or even the creation of a more structured garden, but its current simplicity is one of its most compelling features — a place to reconnect with nature and breathe
Description
This charming Grade II Listed cottage, known as Keepers Cottage, is nestled in a peaceful half-acre garden with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The property, located just outside the historic village of Abbotsbury, offers a unique blend of rural escape and coastal charm. The cottage itself is steeped in character, with a warm and welcoming interior that features a large inglenook fireplace, a newly installed Heritage cooker, and a study with French doors leading to the garden. The four bedrooms, each with its own character, are spread over two floors, and the property also includes a detached barn and separate store. The garden is a peaceful sanctuary, with a large pond, ample space for a vegetable garden or orchard, and potential for further landscaping. The property is situated just moments from the heart of Abbotsbury, with its well-stocked shop, Post Office, and pubs, as well as the Subtropical Gardens and the Swannery. The county town of Dorchester is just 9.5 miles away, offering a range of amenities, restaurants, and a mainline railway station.
