Description


An expansive period house in a rural yet accessible location affording lovely surrounding views as well as some 2.63 acres of garden, field and orchard.

The Dwelling - Bonds Cottage is a well arranged country house set in its own 2.63 acres of gardens, field and orchard with a maturing grove of mainly oak. The position of Bonds Cottage is rural, yet accessible, and surrounded by farmland with the iconic Duncliffe Woods just to the East.

The house itself has excellent entertaining space with a magnificent dining hallway, a large eat in kitchen and two sitting rooms; one for winter with an open fireplace and summer sitting room with French doors to a south facing patio area. In addition is the study / library adjacent to the kitchen and dining hall. The utility / boot room is via the back door and into the kitchen.

Upstairs are 5 double bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms and a family bathroom.

Accommodation - See Floor Plan - A great house for entertaining as well as day to day living. A series of reception rooms as well as an eat in kitchen all give light bright rooms and all but the winter sitting room with access to the gardens. Upstairs there are two en suite bathrooms as well as the family bathroom with the five bedrooms.

Outside - A five bar gate, set back from the road, gives access to the gravelled driveway leading past the house and up to the large turning area and double garage. To the rear of the house is a patio area off the Kitchen French doors with a brick path leading to the Summer Sitting Room patio area, accessed separately with French doors back into the house. From here it is a vista over the gardens and beyond to the field and orchard / grove. This orchard has a number of apple and pear trees with the grove having maturing oak trees. Interspersed along the boundaries are mature oak, ash and willow trees. The gardens give great scope to add landscaping, if so wished, but are well tended currently.

The garage has a garden furniture store area and log store to the side.

In all some 2.63 acres (1.07 hectares).

Situation - Bonds Cottage is situated just to the south of Todber, a small village in the Blackmore Vale. The larger village of Marnhull is approximately a mile distant with towns such as Sturminster Newton being the nearest with a good selection of shopping, doctors and dentists. Gillingham to the north gives access to the Mainline Railway (Waterloo approximately 2 hours) and more comprehensive supermarkets. Betwixt several excellent private schools and within the catchment of Gillingham School, there is a choice for all.
