Tollard Royal, SP5 5PW

CHARACTER COTTAGE WITH GENEROUS GARDEN IN TOLLARD ROYAL Believed to date back to the early 1800s, this beautifully presented detached period cottage is nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Tollard Royal, within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape.

The property enjoys an enviable position opposite the village orchard and just a short stroll from the tranquil village pond.

Tollard Royal is a quintessential English village with a warm and welcoming community.

Local amenities include the acclaimed King John Inn, offering fine dining and boutique accommodation, a historic church, and an active village hall and the nearby Larmer Tree Gardens hosting regular events.

The village is well-connected, Shaftesbury is approximately 7 miles away, Blandford Forum around 10 miles, and the cathedral city of Salisbury roughly 18 miles distant.

The cottage itself is rich in period charm and character.

Upon entering you are greeted by a generous size boot room that, whilst also providing storage, is a wonderful area to de-cloak, remove wellies and wipe muddy paws.

The ground floor has been sympathetically updated by the current owners in recent years with slate slab flooring throughout, enhancing original features such as exposed beams and a striking double-fronted woodburning stove that serves both the inviting sitting room and the character-filled kitchen/diner.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with units crafted from repurposed period furniture, complementing the property's heritage. French doors from the sitting room open onto the garden.

Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms. Two are generous doubles and benefit from built-in wardrobe storage.

All rooms are served by a family bathroom comprising a three-piece suite with a shower over the bath.

The windows throughout the property have recently been upgraded with timber-framed double glazing, in keeping with the home's period style.

Externally, the home includes an attached garage with an electric up-and-over door, alongside a driveway that provides off-road parking for two vehicles.

An original well adds further charm near the driveway entrance.

The garden, laid out over multiple terraces, wraps around the side and rear of the cottage and features a mix of lawns and wild planting.

At the top of the garden, a summerhouse with power provides a flexible space for a home office, studio, or retreat, enjoying lovely elevated views over the village.

A brick-built store offers additional practical storage. The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and is offered to the market with no onward chain.
