Church Lane Wool, Wareham, BH20

A delightful Grade II listed detached thatched cottage offering 4/5 bedrooms, situated in a highly desirable lane within the sought-after village of Wool, backing onto the Lulworth Estate.

THE PROPERTY
Thatchers Cottage is a charming period home that retains a wealth of original features including exposed beams, fireplaces and a striking inglenook. The property is presented in good order and enjoys a peaceful position within Church Lane, with immediate access to countryside walks across the Lulworth Estate just moments from the front door.

The cottage is predominantly rendered beneath a traditional thatched roof and is approached via a covered entrance porch which leads into the welcoming sitting room. This attractive reception space features a fine inglenook fireplace with brick and stone surround, exposed beams and parquet flooring, creating a warm and characterful atmosphere. An opening leads through to a further reception room which enjoys a window seat overlooking the front aspect and a feature fireplace with exposed stonework.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home and is a particularly impressive space, fitted with a range of base and wall units and centred around a three-door Aga. The room offers generous space for a farmhouse-style dining table and enjoys views over the rear garden, with glazed doors opening directly into the conservatory.

The conservatory provides a light-filled additional reception area with Purbeck stone flooring and views across the garden.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a useful utility room, a shower room and a study, providing an ideal space for home working.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has a high vaulted ceiling and outlook over the rear garden. It benefits from an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, all have built-in storage, served by a family bathroom.

Immediately to the rear is a sunken patio terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading up to an area of lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees. To the side of the cottage there is a hardstanding area providing off-road parking for several vehicles.

SITUATION
