THE GARDENS:

The gardens are an outstanding feature of the cottage, and the site extends to about a quarter of an acre. Large, flat, well maintained lawn to the front, enclosed by post-and-rail fencing, close boarded fencing and hedgerows. Established willow tree. Well stocked borders, including grasses, roses and shrubs. A bunded plastic oil tank is screened by trellising (with climbing roses). Large sun terrace/eating area with pergola (and climbing roses). Raised vegetable beds. 2 large timber garden sheds. Third shed (with deck and balustrade). The side garden is enclosed by a laurel and conifer hedgerow.

From Wimborne, proceed north on the B3078 towards Cranborne, turning right into Furzehill. Proceed through the village, passing the Stocks Inn on the left, and turn left at Pig Oak, signposted to Gaunts Common. Proceed through Gaunts Common and continue ahead at the crossroads which is signposted to Hinton Martell and Holtwood. On entering Chalbury, Priors Corner is the first bend, and The Keep is immediately on the right hand side.

We understand that the cottage was originally constructed at the turn of the 18th century. It has undergone 3 separate extensions in more recent times. The original cottage was built of brick-faced cob and the extensions have traditional cavity brick walls, all under a slate roof.
