"An attractive four bedroom semi detached family house in the village of Winterbourne Abbas, featuring a spacious garden and off street parking for two cars.

The Property A charming period property built of stone under a tiled roof, arranged over three floors in the village of Winterbourne Abbas. Church View Cottage is full of character, boasting original features such as flagstone floors, timber flooring and inglenook fireplaces.

Believed to have once been the village bakery, the property retains a wonderful sense of history. The former bakehouse at the rear has been thoughtfully converted into a garden room utility space, providing access to the generous rear garden beyond.

Accommodation The country style storm porch opens into a hallway, providing access to the sitting room, which features a cosy wood burning stove, and the spacious kitchen dining room at the rear. The kitchen accommodates a family dining table and includes a central Inglenook fireplace with space for a range cooker. Freestanding kitchen units sit over beautiful original large flagstones.

Beyond the kitchen, the restored bakehouse has been converted into a garden room with a vaulted ceiling and space plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Four double bedrooms are arranged over the upper two floors, with the largest on the top floor, offering potential for an en suite shower room if desired. The family bathroom, located on the first floor, has been updated by the current owner and features a modern white suite, including a bath with an overhead shower.

Outside The front of the property features a raised flower border along the fa ade and a gravel driveway with parking for two cars. The rear features a generous country garden with a lawn, mature shrubs and small fruit trees. At the far end, a summerhouse sits alongside a greenhouse, with raised beds neatly arranged beside it for growing vegetables.

Situation Winterbourne Abbas lies approximately five miles west of Dorchester and offers a primary school, St. Mary s Parish Church, a petrol station with a shop and a public house.
