DESCRIPTION

The cottage is now completely rebuilt to modern day fire and safety requirements, the loft space has been built to expose reclaimed oak ceiling beams and oak windows have been fitted throughout. The new thatch roof complies with modern day fire requirements due to the Dorset Model fireproofing to the thatch and the internal fireproof boarding. During the reinstatement programme the house has undergone complete renovation including new electrics throughout, brand new oil fired central heating system including, a break pump to ensure instant hot water with high pressure when all the bathrooms are in use. There is limestone tiled flooring throughout the ground floor and oak flooring to the first floor.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a pitch tiled entrance porch with a quarry tiled floor and a stable door through to kitchen/ breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of handmade painted fitted wall and base units of a shaker style, including an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, solid oak work surfaces with inset Belfast sink and mixer steam tap with complementary tiled surround. There is a stone fireplace with inset two oven cream painted Aga with pull out larder cupboard to one side of the chimneybreast and ceiling downlights. A double aspect fitted oak framed turning staircase leads to the first floor. There is an opening through to the sitting room with heavy beamed ceiling and impressive stone fireplace with new multi fuel log burner with bread oven and brick built hearth. There is a front aspect window and an opening through to inner hallway with door to study. The study has a front aspect oak framed window and ceiling downlights.
