Enjoying lovely countryside views, the house is conveniently situated within easy walking distance of Thorncombe's community-run village shop/cafe, primary school, and village hall, at the heart of this thriving West Dorset village.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners and offers well-presented, comfortable living space. A spacious lounge enjoys views to the front and features French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen/dining room also benefits from attractive views and provides a sociable space for everyday living. In addition, there is a utility room and a convenient ground floor cloakroom.

Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying countryside views, along with a third bedroom which works well as a single or small double. The principal bedroom benefits from a re-fitted en-suite shower room, while a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, a large gated parking area provides ample space in front of the garage and sits adjacent to the enclosed rear garden. The garage itself is larger than average, and attached to the rear is a fully insulated home office or studio ideal for home working or hobbies.

The property benefits from replacement uPVC double-glazed windows and doors throughout and is warmed by oil-fired central heating.
