Church Path, Litton Cheney, Dorchester, Dorset, DT2

A beautifully restored cottage with two delightful bedrooms, a fantastic reception room and a magical garden with far-reaching countryside views, in the sought-after village of Litton Cheney in the Bride Valley

THE PROPERTY
First impressions of this wonderful property are most impressive, with its attractive local-stone façade beneath a distinctive thatched roof. It occupies a fantastic elevated position, set well back from the lane, with stone steps leading through a delightful front garden to the front door.
On entering the property, which has undergone a fastidious programme of works during the owners' ten-year residence, it is almost impossible not to smile. You are immediately greeted by an incredible reception room with flagstone flooring and a large brick-and-stone inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. This is a remarkable room for a property of this size, with plenty of space for a dining table and sofa.
From here, the accommodation flows into a beautiful bespoke kitchen by the highly regarded local craftsman Chris Chapman. It incorporates a range of attractive wall and base units, a Siemens electric oven and tiled flooring, together with views over the garden.
Also on the ground floor is a practical shower room and cloakroom, ideal after a long country walk or a day at the beach, as well as a large storage cupboard.
The principal bedrooms are situated on the first floor. Both are fabulous, filled with natural light and immaculately presented.
To the rear of the property lies the most delightful garden, planted with wildflowers and even a palm tree. Attractive stone steps lead to a series of paved terraces, with a summer house at the very top. There can be few better places to enjoy an al fresco meal while taking in the far-reaching countryside views.
The garden is a true haven, taking full advantage of the property's tranquil setting.

All in all, this is a truly wonderful home in an idyllic yet highly convenient location.
