A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage in this sought after Dorset village
The Old Inn Cottage is a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage, having most appealing elevations of whitened render with leaded light windows, under a thatched roof. This much loved home offers a wealth of character features a versatile layout which could be arranged to suit a purchaser’s needs. The detached annexe would be ideal for family or guests, or to provide a valuable income.

The through kitchen/ breakfast room has windows to front and rear and a door to the rear garden.

The separate dining room also has a brick fireplace. The large utility/ boot room has plumbing for a washing machine, tiled floor and access to a shower room and separate WC. The boiler room, approached externally, houses the newly fitted oil-fired boiler.
Stairs from the sitting room lead up to a small landing, two spacious double bedrooms, and the family bathroom. A second staircase from the dining room leads up to the generous third bedroom.
