Location
Modern country house in this small and sought after Dorset village.
Bluebird Cottage is a modern village house built in 1997 to a high specification by a local builder for his own occupation. The cottage was built in the period style with handsome brick and rendered elevations under a hand-made tiled and stone detailed roof. The accommodation has the benefit of oil-fired central heating and double glazing. A particular feature is the useful separate guest or family annexe above the garage.
An entrance porch opens into a spacious reception hall with cloaks cupboard. The generous double aspect sitting room has a mellow brick feature wall and fireplace with wood burning stove, and French door to the rear garden. The separate dining room overlooks the rear garden. The spacious and well fitted kitchen/breakfast has a range of units, built in oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher and fridge, and a matching dresser in the breakfast area. The utility/ boot room has a Belfast sink, useful store cupboards and gives access to the cloakroom.
On the first floor are the main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a generous en suite with freestanding bath and shower, three further bedrooms, one of which is fitted out as a dressing room, and the large family bathroom with
freestanding bath and separate showers.
Above the garage, and accessed externally is an excellent self-contained guest or family annexe providing useful additional accommodation of a bed/ sitting room with kitchen/ breakfast room and bathroom.
Outside
A five bar gate opens into a shingle driveway providing extensive parking and turning areas, and leading to the attached Double Garage. The pretty and secluded gardens lie both at the front and rear, laid mainly to lawn with well stocked borders planted with a wide variety of specimen shrubs and herbaceous plants and a feature brick well. Adjacent to the kitchen door is an outdoor dining area, with a covered gated walkway leading through to the rear garden. This is partially bounded and secluded by a high tile-capped wall and has brick and timber decked terraces, a covered log store area and a timber garden summerhouse/ chalet.

I think this is such a convenient place to live, quiet, yet within a short drive of so many of Dorset's most popular towns
