About
Summary Occupying an impressive corner plot within the highly desirable village of West Stafford, Talbothayes Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a deceptively spacious family home with extensive gardens, generous living accommodation, and exciting potential.
Description The property provides versatile accommodation extending to approximately four bedrooms, making it well suited to growing families, multigenerational living, or those requiring space to work from home.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a substantial dual-aspect living room, a well-proportioned kitchen, separate dining room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.
The layout offers excellent flexibility, with the option to adapt rooms to suit individual requirements.
The first floor provides two further double bedrooms and an additional bathroom, creating an ideal arrangement for family living and guest accommodation.
Externally, the property's standout feature is undoubtedly the exceptional corner plot. The extensive gardens provide a wonderful sense of space and privacy, rarely found in village properties.
The generous grounds offer endless possibilities for keen gardeners, outdoor entertaining, and families seeking room to enjoy the outdoors.
Furthermore, the size of the plot presents potential for extension or further development opportunities, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
West Stafford is one of Dorset's most sought-after villages, celebrated for its picturesque setting and strong sense of community whilst remaining conveniently located just a short distance from Dorchester, offering access to a wide range of amenities, schools, and transport links.
