Green Bottom, Colehill, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21

A character 3 bedroom semi-detached period cottage standing in a delightful garden of over a third of acre in a semi-rural location.

Quietly situated off a private, unmade road close to woodland walks and local amenities, the property was built in the mid-19th century and has rendered cob walls, a pitched plain tiled roof and 2 brick chimneys. It benefits from oil central heating, retains character features including open fireplaces, and offers great potential for extension and refurbishment (subject to planning consent.)

A gabled porch leads to a sitting room with a range, and there is a dining room with a tiled open fireplace. The kitchen has a sink, cupboards, appliance space and a built-in under stairs pantry, and a door to a bathroom (with bath, wash basin and airing cupboard.) From the bathroom, a door gives access to a rear vestibule with a separate WC. There is a glazed lean-to porch with space and plumbing for washing machine, and door to the garden.

Stairs from a central lobby lead to a split level first floor landing. Off the upper section there are 2 double bedrooms with exposed timber floorboards. Bedroom 2 has a roof inspection hatch. Off the lower landing, bedroom 3 has exposed timber floorboards and far reaching views.

There is vehicle and pedestrian access off Green Bottom. The neighbouring property, number 2, has a right of pedestrian access through the garden of number 1. A 5-bar gate leads to a driveway providing off road parking and an open-fronted timber garage/carport. The cottage is set back from the road with a footpath meandering through a woodland garden (with established trees, grass banks, and a wealth of bulbs.) Adjoining the house is a lean-to store housing the oil fired central heating boiler. The rear garden is a wildlife haven with lawns and established shrubs and trees. The whole plot amounts to about 0.35 acre and offers a fair degree of privacy.

Colehill offers first and middle schools, a church, a library, local shops including a Co-Op/post office, and scenic walks in Cannon Hill Plantation. Bus services connect to the market town of Wimborne Minster (approximately 2 miles) with its busy shopping centre and wide range of amenities, and to the coastal town of Bournemouth which has a mainline rail link to London Waterloo.
